Use Phillips 66 AGRICULTURAL
A M M O N IA — contains 8 2 % nitrogen!
Get nitrogen-plus by applying Phillips 66 Agricultural A m
monia to corn stalks and other crop residues this fall. That
way, you’ll store the 82% nitrogen in the soil, which will in
turn break down crop residues—for extra plant food to help
increase your profit per acre next year.
Save time and trouble, too, by applying Phillips 66 Agri
cultural Ammonia this fall—instead of next Spring when
your work load is heaviest.

It’s true ! You can forget about traffic
accidents, fogged-in landing fields
and slippery highways when you
travel by train.
Instead of spending hours cramped
behind the wheel of your car, how
much nicer to stretch out in a com
fortable, adjustable leg-rest coach
seat, or get a good night's sleep in a
peaceful, quiet Pullman.
How much nicer to relax in the lounge
car, where you’ll find music, maga-
S m
zines, a writing desk, and beverage
service.
How much nicer to enjoy fine food,
freshly prepared and graciously serv ed
in a famous Union Pacific dimng car.
Or to sit up in the Dome and really
enjoy the scenery, at ground level.
Ah, that’s real traveling! Sure beats
tiresome driving. Certainly a great
deal safer. . . and probably cheaper !
N ext trip, enjoy the peace o f mind
and relaxation that comes from travel
ing the safe, restful Union Pacific way.
