Keep Your Soil Productive Chemical fertilizers are not indispensable when it comes to keeping the soil productive. After aU, they are of com- paratively recent origin and mankind got along without them for many centuries. That does not mean that they have no value, but under present conditions gardeners will have an opportunity to go back to the old-fashioned ma- nures which, although not as highly-concentrated, have other qualities important to plant growth. By all means establish a compost heap as a valuable source of humus and plant food. ADCO wifl help you to produce your own rich, odorless manure from all kinds of garden refuse. Bovung, cow manure, and dried sheep manure may be used freely throughout the garden to in- crease soil fertiUty. Work them well into the soil surface or mix into the planting hole. Bone-meal and wood ashes may be mixed with these manures. Customer Pays Transportation on Fertilizers. 97
