Daybreak Fertilizer FEED THE SOIL- A BALANCED RATION Experiments in individual instances show that fertilizers with a large amount of available phosphoric acid complete with potash and ammonia give the best results. The highest authorities on fertilization state that the average farmer does not fertilize enough.

If the crop and soil need 300 lbs. of fertilizer, it is unwise to apply only 150 lbs. Absolutely the same principle governs. in this that governs in the feeding of live stock for market. Give the plant all it will eat and it will yield the largest profit.

If the hog is not made to take on all the fat he can hold, it is the owner's loss and not the hog's. If the farmer does not feed the plant enough to bring it to the highest state of development, it is the farmer's loss and not the plant's. Neither the hog nor the plant is greatly concerned in the matter. Feed the plant and the plant will feed you. Daybreak Fertilizer is built out of the wealth of experience and experiment-the finished product of the master workman.
