THE GREATEST FARMER
IN THE WORLD
One fourth of the wheat we grow is the result
of the researches of the Government. After
years of untiring experiment and investigation, ,
the Government, through the Department of Agricul
ture, was enab'ed to introduce into this country the
remarkable D ..rum wheat through which our produc
tion has been increased fully twenty-five per cent.
This has been only ono of many surprising but little
known accomplishments of the Government, which
are covered in the interesting series of wtories for
which we have the exclusive right of distribution in
this community.
We’ll send this literature to you each month without
obligation on your part if you will ask for it.
