the following will show what has been tried and proved in the fertilizer way on line tobacco and major ragland of halifax county va the great tobacco authority and grower of pedigree tobacco seed is the man who tells about it if anybody knows what tobacco is he certainly does there are several brands of fertilizer manufactured specially for tobacco differing in composition price and merit and after repeated experiments with most if not all the best the author gives it as his decided opinion that for fine bright silky tohnccc othikg equals the ' 9 \. tobacco fertilizer prepared by the southern fertilizing company richmond na and this opinion is based upon seventeen years trial and often in competition with the best of other brands on the market it is a tried and proved fertilizer which the plant er can use without the risk of getting something unsuited to his crop and therefore i can recommed it with confidence messrs mathews & williamson of reidsville n c wrote the following to the company and state that they have seen nothing since to change their judgment from our own personal experience and it covers a long time in watching the re sults from the use of various brands

receive more fitting nourishment from the use of this article than from any other and we are of opinion that if our farmers made it their stand-by we would hear less of light chaffy tobacco having some color but no body and that the former would realize the result he oeght to enjoy from his labor for low-grade tobacco will nut bring big money now we want you to have big money foi your crop because we not only desiic you to make good bills with us but pay for them when they are made hence we han dle the anchor brand and will supply you in quantities to suit direct from the factory we
