MAKE HAY WHILE THE GREEN SHINES with FERTRELL NUTRI-SIL,
before the rain descends and the floods come and beat upon that hay
and it falls in value. And it has a lot of value if grown with natural rock
phosphate or Fertrell fertilizer. When the bugs and drought come
and the wind blows and beats upon the plant, it is not affected so
much because it is founded upon rock phosphate. A man said he saw
5 ft, alfalfa that didn’t lodge on the Reams program which recom
mends soft rock phosphate. When you sow seed in such good ground
it produces 60 or 100 fold because it has deepness of earth and
when the sun comes up it is not scorched for it has deepness of root
and doesn’t wither away.
Fertrell Nutri-Sil dispensed into hay bales makes good hay at 35%
moisture or sometimes up to 40%. Get your hay before the rain at
only $l.OO per ton of hay. FREE LOCAL SOIL TESTING with the
Reams tests (Let us do hay, pasture or soybean field) with an order
for a spreader load of phosphate o? Fertrell fertilizer $lO per sample
otherwise our bulk soft rock phosphate balances the soil where
manure is used without extra potash. And it is only $BO per ton plus
spreading. It is high in phosphorus and calcium and trace elements
which are so needful. If you need potash, use good Fertrell. Our BX
soil bacteria causes nitrogen fixation, enough to produce a good
crop. It also increases the other nutrients in the soil at less cost than
fertilizer. Quite an economical program. Y don't U prove it 2? Free
literature about it all.

Our natural products used this year will especially save you a lot of fertilizer
money next year when fertilizer price is inflated. Our fertilizer lasts and lasts. No
leaching or dissipating.
