In ,side-by- side tests on hundreds of farms with six different crops, Super Q outyielde.d the best commercial fertilizers by as much as 25%. Successful as they have been with Super Q, the scientists do not see their job as done. As Dr. Ray Starostka, chief formulator for Super Q, explained to me, "Don't memorize the numbers on a Super Q bagl -they'll change the minute we get a new test or technique-or as local conditions demand." I certainly don't want to give the impression that 'Super Qis a curc-all. On the eontrary; it will only be sold to top farmers-the top 20% in yields and management. They'll make Super Q pay off.

He little knew how much they were` to take.. . "They bought extra groceries, eandle.s, rubber boots, oil staves, etc., and coal oil for hoth Stoves and lamps. The gas ;was off. Rubber hoots went up from .three to ten dollars, and the wholesale grocery was sold out Wednesday evening (the previous night). That evening it turned cooler but continued to pour rain, "I w,as taken"to an Eastern Star pot-luck supper, Ten were Present including two children of members. Everyone at it had to take office. My hostess and I were the audience, The wheid conversation at supper was the flood terror, what to do to pre, pare for it end how to get away from it. One member and I spoke of leaving and they laughed at us, and said we would have to take it with them as they said all trains had stopped running. "Upon returning tg my 'room, I saw my landlady was worried, I Centacted two other guests. They had driven around town and. seen how Serious it was and were afraid. The boy friend of one girl had offered, to drive them to their ,home 30 miles away that afternoon but one refused to go. She wanted to work next day and then •go; and by that time the road was covered and they couldn't go. " • "I told them I had a cousin in Nashville to wham' I could go for, a few days, They said: 'Go, if you can get out:- We decided to Sleep over it. "Next morning the rain had turned ;to ice and, then snow, and was it cold! Ice was se heavy on trees, many smaller ones were bent over, branehes touching the ground. "From my window I could see the Tars going through water on 5th Street-none on 4th as it was too deep. I was between 5th and 9th Streets. A stream of 'dirty brown water was coming up both sides of the street at the curbs and was already at the drWeway. "I watched it for awhile and then decided it was time M. inquire about trains. The phones were dead, so I put on my coat, rubbers, etc., and went downtown to a cab stand at a, hotel., They didn't" know anything about trains and suggested I go to a ticket office. "The first one I ceintaoted was the Illinois Central Railway. Their trains were flood-stranded and that ticket agent didn't 'know 'nuthin' '. His phones were working.. He ,could have found out about other trains for us• but didn't. Several men were there, one trying to get to Nashville, so I listened fors,the infor- mation he couldn't get. I asked ,if-she thought it necessary to get out He said, 'Is aw goin' to get out o' he'e? Aw sure is!' All we could learn was that if a train trying to get in did so, they would send another out. With' that information I returned to my,,roorn to pack. The snow was several inches deep. "I recalled I had a broken suitcase so went down street to a Penny store where' -I 'had seen one two days before. Got two doors from it but the water was too deep, I had on` my galoshes. "Trucks were carrying boards and putting them from the rear end, through windows like a bridge to carry things in and out. The water was now five blocks up from the river's natural bed, I watched for someone with rubber boots to get it for .me. Saw a boy who looked as if he could do it, but he showed me holes in the legs of his boots; so I thought I'd better go pack, anyway. "After I got started, I realized Christmas had increased my baggage and remembered 'the wife of the Penny's manager could probably get one delivered for me. Put on my duds and went to her home. She advised me to go to a pay station and central would. answer, That took me back to 13roadwa,y--the, main street. Dropped a nickel in. Central asked the number and. said: 'Drop a nickel, please.' I said: 'I did.' 'She replied: 'You dropped before I asked you.' I said: 'Return it and I'll drop it again.' She replied: 'I can't.' It wasn't any time to quibble over a nickel but Penny's didn't' answer. She still owes me a nickel! • "I went 'back to the ticket office to see if I could learn anything more. Some men were still there but didn't know any more. They were considering hiring a truck to take them to the nearest town, I said I would share the expenses if they would take me. They said they would, so I left my seine and address, and said I would pay for a messenger if they sent one, "I crossed the street to a drug store to get some lunch. The clerk was standing on boards raised up a feW inches off the floor, and water was under them. By the time I had finished toast and chocolate, water was up the store and gurgling, gurg- ling, I asked if the river had come up so quickly. He answered:- 'That's the sewer backing up.' Says I to myself: 'Me for packing in anything and getting out.' Went back and packed, Mrs. Grief said: 'If •you stay We'll all stick it out together and we won't charge? , • • "About three, no word had Come so waded 'through the snow and water beck to the ticket office again. The men had all gone but the agent told me a train Would leave at 5:50. As nothing but trains could get to the station then, the railroad company was sending a coach (to City Consumers, a wholesale milk depot, to pick up passengers at 4:45 p.m. 'to take them to the Station. That would he the -last train out. "I went into the Irwin Cobb Hotel to get a cab to take me to that place. The cabb'i'es were standing around the lobby. They said the cabs had been taken from their as the brakes were freezing in so much water, and they couldn't get to the depot anyWay. They said maybe I could get 'a truck. Every truck I hailed was busy delivering Coal and supplies. , "Returned to my room. The Griefs had just collie back from getting extra' vean.dles and supplies. I asked him if he Would take me. He said that his brakes Were frozen and he had just ink:wined his Wife that they were in for a few days now, and why didn't I stay where it was warm and dry? I asked: 'How long can you guarantee that?' (He hated ito see $150 a week going.) He said it Wasn't safe to travel either. "Then I asked if he knew anYeile I Could get to take me". I would pay there the same as a cab. Then he said: `If you 'are going, lect'S go! I'll See if the brakes' will work.' They, were frolen air antich at my foot-maybe hot even that Cold! He did net.offer to lift one suitcase for me. t had :to do it myaelf, and before he was so kind and considerate. IldWever, he got me five and a half 'blocks to the milk depot. t poured my silver into my band and he took out twice the cab fare, but it Was worth it! arrived an hour before the train was scheduled, to come but there natiSt have been a hundred people there.

The big, breakthrough in fertilizer BY JOHN STROHM Pd like to tell your of the most exciting fertilizer idea I've run across in 30 years of farm reporting. It's an idea that's helping top farmets break. through their personal yield barriers to such yields as 130-bushel corn . . . 5-ton hay ... 45-bushel soy- beans ... 3000-lb. tobacco. The idea is Super Q®, a fertilizer so exclusive you can't even buy it . But I'm getting ahead of my story: Two years ago a select group of local manufac- turers were stung into action by a disturbing truth. 'The top farmers were moving faster than their advisers . demanding that fertilizer companies improve their scattergun approach to fertility prob. leras. So, these hometown manufacturers pooled their strength in a giant cooperative effort. They called in the best scientific brains, and handed them this oimpossible' assignment: 1. Develop the best fertilizer it is humanly possible to make. Forget about price-per-ton. But be dead sure this fertilizer will return the farmer more net prat than any 'other product on the market. We want to \guarantee it will, not just talk about it. $. Forinulate it for the top farmers in each emu, rennity. We'll refuse to sell it to anyone but the tap! 4. Rifle it to fit a specific area ... yes, even a sfiecific moisture level. 5. Make a different fertilizer for corn, for barley, tobacco, wheat, soybeans, 6. Use the best form of nutrient§for the croft-,not the cheapest or easiest for the manufacturer. Wow! Some of those who were called in declared: "You just Can't get all those coatis bp one trees'' But other scientists rose to the challenge. They tested soil and itaoisture On top farms in, eon- SUPER MADE FOR THE ONE ttAtINIERIN h1VE 18 -11,EAD FERTILIZERS LIMITED and :EXETER, ONTARIO
