FERTILIZE % CROPS THIS FALL

/ . // —- -• WimvmtlsV '• v y%llf

When buying fertilizer for your fall seedings, remember that you are fertilizing two crops. After the grains are harvested next year, there must still be plenty of potash available in the Sqil to insure a healthy growth of clover or alfalfa. Your fertilizer application should be ample for both crops. A 2-ton yield of clover hay requires 2 1/3 times as much potash as is needed to produce 30 bushels of wheat. Use 200-400 lbs. of 3-12-12, 3-9-18, 0-12-12, 0-20-20, or 0-10-20 per apre for fall seedings. Consult your official agricultural advisers to determine the best grade suited for your needs. See your fertilizer dealer and order recommended grades. ■■ i ✓ ~ r Write us for free information and literature on the practical fertilization of crops.
