New Fertilizer Factory at San Pierre

s As an outcome of many mysterious visits in the past by strangers to examine the marl beds on the Trissail farm three miles northeast of San Pierre, a fertilizer manufacturing enterprise has been carried on there for experimental purposes for many months, which has now passed the experimental stages and is being expanded into the extensive manufacture of the product, which is given the significant name of “Marlashumus,” because it is mainly compounded from marl, wood ashes and the humus plant >fbod extracted from muck. The product has been

registered as a commercial fertilizer by the Northern Indiana Fertilizer Company of San Pierre, Ind., and is placed upon the market under the certificate of the state chemist.— North Judson News.
