Do You Have A
PLANNED
FERTILIZER
PROGRAM
This Year?
This is the year a farmer must know what he is doing with his
fertilizer plan. You must be aiming for top production without
wasting costly fertilizer materials. Remember, the proper
use of N-P-K even this year can return $4.00 for each $l.OO
spent for needed plant nutrients.
