Told by More Than 100 of America's Greatest Farming Authorities'
' 'A thousand and one new farming dis
coveries have been' made by men who are
revolutionizing crop and live stock results.
These new ideas are producing record
breaking yields of corn; are quickly re
claiming soils thought hopeless j-are securing
startling butter fat production; are forcing
hogs to market earlier, on less feed; are
doubling and trebling profits in practically
every 'farming operation, in every climate
and locality.
These new methods are cutting down labor
needs by saving work in a hundred ways.
They are chopping out waste in every farm
ing operation. They are perfecting new kinds
of crops which outrank the old. And now
these secrets have been ma.de public.
The Discoveries of Spezialists
Just as we have the physician who specializes
on one particular branch of medicine, so W3 have
the farmer who specializes on one- particular
branch of farming. Seme have made a lifetime
study of corn.- Others have confined their study
to soils. Still others have specialized on growing
of wheat. And so on farming has its special
ists on live stock, poultry, veterinary masters,
cotton, hay, dairy and all other branches.
These specialists are continually conducting
experiments to discover methods that will pro
duce better results. When an experiment Js
Proved successful, again and again, it is used
n a largo scale, in a practical way. No one
farmer can hope to learn, through his own ex
perience, as much about all branches of farming
53 all these specialists together haye learned,
each specializing in one thing. The road, to
nuick success in farming is to take full advant
age of what all these specialists have discovered.
Learn their secrets!

Corn, organizer of the Corn Growers' Association
of Missouri and former head of tho department
