With anything like normal prices, one or the best investments that can be made is that of the proper Kinds and amounts of fertilizer.” The above quotation is from TOBACCO FERTILIZER RECOM MEN DA T/ONS FOR 1936 , Agronomy Informa ion Circular No. 95 of the North Carolina Experiment Station. The circular recommends well-balanced fer tilizer containing 6 to 10% potash for bright tobacco. THE BEST FERYILIZEiv you 22.71 get for your tobacco is usua’ly the most extra hundred pounds o* tobacco oe : 2.2 :a and a t\vu-cent difference in the average saies price per pound of tobacco can make a tremendous diligence in profits.

Ask your fertilizer man how little you have to pay for this large amount of valuable extra plant food. The 35% extra plant food in the 3-8-8 makes it a much better-balanced fertilizer.
