THE GREATEST
FERTILIZER
Money, when needed, is the great
est fertilizer in the world. It en
ables the farmer to obtain what he
actually needs for the profitable
development of his business.
No progressive farmer would
think of farming without fertile soil.
No more should he think of doing
without sufficient ready money for
farm development.
