That is easy. Get ARCADIAN Sulphate of Ammonia and out it on early in the spring, late in January, or early , in February. Get.it on before the busy time comes. It does not leach out of the soil ; it stays right there ready to go to work as soon as the earth warms up a little, . and it keeps on working all season. Scientific tests show that nitrates: leach rapidly, but that ammonia is closely held by the soil-humus in spite of the drainage J water. One hundred pounds per acre is about the right amount. ; . ARCADIAN SULPHATE OF AMMONIA ARCADIAN Sulphate of Ammonia is just the same as the , well-known standard article that has been used in mixed fertil- v . izers for decades past, except that it is kiln-dried and ground so ; v as to be in splendid mechanical condition.
