One of the Things Mr. Royster )
Discovered About the
Feeding of Crops
Cured Fertilizer Has Increased Farmers9 1
Earnings
Haven’t you bpard about the more thorough and scientific
feeding for plants—hastening maturity and helping to grow
crops that bring higher prices? Everywhere you find farmers
talking about the remarkable results through the. use of
Royster's Cured Fertilizer, i
Why Cured Fertilizer Grows Better Crops
Mr. Royster discovered that by aging or curing fertilizer for
four to six months he could increase its value as a plant-food.
He found that this curing brought about a certain chemical
action which'prepared the fertilizer for the use of crops and
made food elements available at ths very time they tare needed.
