To check your insurance!

SAYS:
DID YOU KNOW THAT: (1) According to
the California Bureau of Chemistry, Cali
fornia growers used more than three times
as much aqua ammonia (20-0-0) the first
9 months of '54 compared to the same pe
riod of '53? (2) The rate of increase was 26
times that of any other non-solution type of
nitrogen fertilizer? (3) At the same time,
Aqua jumped from 5th to 2nd place in total
tonnage? Shows what can happen when you
take the lift and lug out of fertilizer han
dling with low-cost fertilizer samples-in-so-lution.
I like to tell my customers that "with
Brea Aqua you don't lift anything heavier
than the end of a two-inch hose!"
OUR DRILL APPLICATION RIGS are doing
a nice job for customers these days, and
naturally we are well equipped and ready to
handle more customer acreage. Things are
happening so fast In the fertilizer business
that I know we can save you money and do
a better job If you will let us help you with
your nitrogen needs.
BREA AQUA AMMONIA stores well in the
soil, and because of its long lasting qualities
can be applied successfully during spring
ploughing for winter wheat. Many of our
grower customers save considerable time
and money by combining application with
other cultivation operations.
PEAS AND SWEET CLOVER also show a
good response to Brea Aqua Plus Sulfur. Our
field service men will be grad to work with
you on programs for these Important crops.

Spring Wheat Shows Big Response
To Brea Aqua Ammonia Plus Sulfur
LA r ' " 1
rr 4 V ... ai.v -
SHALLOW DRILL APPLICATION of Brea Aqua Ammonia minimizes soil and seed
bed disturbance, conserves soil moisture, cuts time and equipment costs.
More and more local grain producers are
boosting yields and profits with Brea
Aqua Ammonia Plus Sulfur (18-0-0-2.)
Both experiment station and grower tests
show remarkable response of Northwest
grain to Brea's low-cost, high-performance
nitrogen solution with sulfur added.
Brea Aqua Ammonia Plus Sulfur is a
"natural" for grain. It combines speedy,
mechanized fluid handling with shallow
drill application which soaks nitrogen
and sulfur into the soil at just the de
sired number of pounds per acre.
Shallow "soak-in" application of Brea
Aqua at depths of only 4" keeps maxi
mum moisture in the soil and places ni
trogen where it is immediatelyavailable
for germinating spring wheat. Nitrogen
closer to the surface boosts young wheat
when it needs it most and gets it off to a
fast healthy start.
For more information and help in plan
ning your nitrogen schedules for spring
grain . . call us today. Well be happy to
show you how Brea Aqua Plus Sulfur
pays for itself over and over again. You'll
like our fast service, low cost, and the big
pay-off in crop response.
Just call us and we'll come out and shoiv you how
Brea Aqua Ammonia can make more money for you.

The most enthusiastic Pontiac
owners are those who have taken
this advice. They've looked the field
over from top to bottom and
here's what they learned:
Pontiac is way up there with
costly cars in wheelbase, roominess
and riding ease. It's big and com
fortable, yet handles with expensive
sports car nimbleness. The exciting
dash and compelling drive of the
Strato-Streak V-8 produce the
richest thrills in motoring. And
Pontiac is America's most distinc
tive car in styling as in action.
Come in for the facts about this
"all-time" value leader and our
generous appraisal of your present
car! Find out how little it takes to
switch to modern motoring.
