Unusual, almost unique, in the cur
rent history of corporations is a pham- were
phlet just issued by the International action
Agricultural Corporation, setting forth
the purposes and organization of the
company and describing its plants and
properties. The aim of the publica
tion is not to exploit the Corporation's
products, but to tell what it Is, why
and how it was organized, and what it
J is doing. Following are some quota
tions from the booklet:

Any new development in an old in

do something different, do something
better, supply some actual need.
The International Agricultural Cor
P° ration - organized m July, 1909. was
founded with these definite purposes
I in mind. The Corporation has invest
ed $18,000,000 of its authorized capital
i of $36,000.000, and for every dollar of
stock issued (both common and pre
ferred) has obtained tangible assets in

The organizers of the International
Agricultural Corporation fully realized
j that they must secure adequate

namely—Phosphate Rock. Sulphuric
Acid, Potash, and Ammoniates—in or
I der to produce at lowest cost com
j plete fertilizer, containing in well bal
anced proportions the nitrogen (am
monia), phosphoric acid and potash
necessary to plant life.
Carrying out its plan of operation,
j the International Agricultural Corpor
ation purchased 42,000 acres of phos
phate lands in Florida, and also se
! cured the largest portion of the brown
j rock deposits of Tennessee.
