Super Q. Super Q Corn Starter is made exclusively by Miller Chemical & Fertilizer Corp, A i enoivned farm editor reports on a new fertilizer, with a nezu twist —only one farmer in five can buy it! Read how these top growers are boosting profits by 25%, I’d like to tell you of the most exciting fertilizer idea I’ve rim aci oss in 30 years of farm reporting. It’s an idea that’s helping top farmers break through their personal yield baniers to such yields as 130-bushcl com . .5-ton hay.. .2-bale cotton... 45-bushel soybeans... 3000-lb. tobacco. The idea is Super Qf, a fertilizer so exclusive you can’t even buy it unless... But I’m getting ahead ot my story: Two years ago a select group of local manufacturers were stung into action by a disturbing truth. The top fai mers were moving faster than their advisers.. .demand ing that fertilizer companies improve their scattergun approach to fertility problems. So. these hometown manufacturers pooled their strength in a giant cooperative effort. They called in the best scientific brains in America, and handed them this “im possible’’ assignment: 1. Dev elop the best fertilizer it is humanly possible to make. 2. Forget about pricc-per-lon. But be dead sure this fer tilizer will return the farmer more net profit than any other product on the market. We want to guarantee it will, not just talk about it. 3. Formulate it for the top farmers in each community. We’ll refuse to sell it to anyone but the top! 4. Rifle it to fit a specific area...yes, even a specific moisture level. 5. A fake a different fertilizer for corn, for cotton, for bar lc\. tobacco, wheat, soybeans. 6. Use the best form of nutrients for the crop —not the cheapest or easiest for the manufacturer. Wow 1 Some of those who were called in declared: “You just can't get all those coons up one tree!” Hut othei scientists rose to the challenge. They tested soil and moistui e on top farms in each community.. .pored o\ci the latest icscaich...analyzed new manufacturing SUPER Q CORIM STARTER MADE FOR THE OIME FARMER lIM FIVE B v MILLER CHEMICAL & FERTILIZER CHRP. SUBSIDIARY OF ALCO CHEMICAL CORPORATION, BALTIMORE 15, MARYLAND r " The big breakthrough in fertilizer BY JOHN STBOHM techniques, new materials. They picked the brains of ag college specialists, interviewed top farmers on their per sonal goals. And then they created Super Q, The Super Q, program is a national effort. It has all the efficiency and breadth of bigness... but with the pinpoint local accuracy to give the individual grower higher yields and profits. In side-by-side tests on hundreds of farms with six different crops, Super Q, outyieldcd the best com mercial fertilizers by as much as 25%. Successful as they have been with Super Q, the scientists do not sec their job as done. As Dr. Ray Starostka, chief formulator for Super Q, explained to me, “Don’t memo rize the numbers on a Super Q bag; they’ll change the minute we get a new test or technique—or as local condi tions demand.” I certainly don’t want to give the impression that Super Q is a cure-all. On the contrary, it will only be sold to top farmers —the top 20% in yields and management. They’ll make Super Q pay off. I surveyed 900 farmers in ten states, and it was really exciting to hear them talk of their goals. Quite a few told me they were shooting for 200-bushel com... 7-ton hay... 600-bushel potatoes... 60-bushel soybeans... 3500-lb. to bacco... 70-bushcl wheat... 100-bushel barley.. .2Yz -bale c0tt0n...25-ton sugar beets...3o-ton silage... 135-bushci oats.
