More money is wasted by not
knowing HOW to farm than Is lost
by the ravages of fires and floods.
EXPERIENCE is a GOOD TEACH
ER, but he charges a mighty stiff tu
ition fee.

game as you would any other bus
iness game? If you have not the
time or think you are too old to
spend two or three years in an agri
cultural college, take a course in the
Campbell Correspondence School of
Soil Culture
and learn the principles and practices
of SCIENTIFIC FARMING. You
don't have to leave borne Just use
your SPARE TIME that otherwise
would be frittered away.
The West Is full of opportunities
for the man who knows the farming
game fro ma scientific standpoint.
You know all about BURBANK,
and you have heard of CAMPBELL
the great soil wizard. You can
learn what be has learned and In
much less time.
