"EXCELLENT BENT GROWTH AND COLOR

Thanks to Agrico"

One of the beautiful fairways and greens at the Marshfield Country Hub. Marsh-field. Mass. MELVIN G. 0 Kelly, Supt., of that well-known Club, says:

" m n A N K S to AGRICO, I find that by _L feeding greens during the hot Summer

with the proportioned I get a very no-ticeable increase in bent growth, root growth and color from AGRICO.

"By feeding AGRINITE in the late Fall, as recommended, my greens get off to a better start in the Spring and stay in good condition despite Winter play.

"At one time, we used a commercial type fertilizer on our fairways but, after using AGRICO FOR T U R F and AGRINITE, we have seen an outstanding difference in color, root growth, and length of feeding."

USE AGRICO and AGRINITE —get maximum return for your fertilizer dollar. See your regular supplier, or write to The AMERICAN AGRICULTURAL CHEMICAL Co., 5 0 Church St., New York 7, N. Y.

"mechanized" shredding and mixing

There is a Royer that wil l do your shredding or mixing job at low cost . . . regardless of your capacity requirements . . . from 4 to 150 cubic yards per hour. Write for Bulletin 55-S giving in-formation on all models . . . stationary or portable . . . electric motor, gasoline engine or belt-to-tractor driven.

M O D E L N C R P - E G

This L A R G E Royer Shredder wil l eliminate costly and backbreaking hand shovelling. It can handle the charge of an eight cubic foot tractor bucket as rapidly as the bucket can be brought into charging position, mak-ing large capacity shredding a one man proposition.

The material fed into the hopper ~ is combed from the bottom by the

rapidly moving teeth of the "comb-ing belt". During the shredding

the material churns rapidly, pro-viding a perfect mixing and

blending action for production of top dressing.
