The text on the front of the card reads "DIE AUSGESTREUTEN KALISALZE FÖRDERN DAS GEDEIHEN DER PFLANZEN AUF ACKER UND WIESE" Loosely translated as 'THE SPREADING OF POTASSIUM SALTS PROMOTE THE THRIVING OF THE PLANTS ON THE FIELD AND GRASSLAND'. This card is similar to another card in my collection cancelled in 1929 and referring to lime.
