"TAKE YOORl
FERTILIZER
There's a crisis in the making!
If stocks pile up in fertilizer plants and agents’ ware
houses, the stream of supply will choke up. They must
move fast or the lack of man-power will cause a para
lyzing shortage.
Take the Chilean Nitrate situation tor example. To
supply the quantity needed for 1945 crops, many car
goes must be unloaded each month at each port, then
moved out by train and truck for immediate allocation.
It must move out of agents’ hands as fast as it move*
in. If not, the choke up starts and works back to the
ports, even back to the ships.
Already there’s a threatened shortage of nitrogen. .
due to sharply increased war needs. Unless you help
smash the bottle neck by
taking your nitrate as soon
as it is offered, the shortage
will become acute. Thous
ends of tons will pile up at
U S. ports or on the docks
in Chile. The only place Chil
ean Nitrate does you any
good is on your crops. Get
yours now ... while you
can.
Storage Tips
file all material' on dry
boards In barn or died.
Pile malai ink separately.
Ksrjipiles dose together
Destroy the bags when
you use the contents.
Buy Your Fertilizer NOW ... Tako it NOW .. .Store it till It’s Needsd
