No crop is more dependent upon POTASH than tobacco, and those who have been reducing or cutting out
POTASH will find it to their interest to return to their old standards. NEBRASKA POTASH has been
thoroughly tested by State Agricultural Department and other experts and pronounced equal to, or, if any
thing, superior to the German Potash. We have an ample supply of this Potash to give any desired analy
sis to users of him i lam a>i

Please remember! WE HAVE THE POTASH, but it will do you no good if you wait so late that the over
worked, congested railroads cannot haul it to you. A ton of fertilizer on your farm is worth two in our fac
tory. Order now.
