The next four numbers of The Progressive Farmer will be 20-page illustrated special issues of extraordinary value. First, next week (February 14th) we issue a "Gardening and Trucking Special" for which we have already received articles from H. H. Hume, W. F. Massey, W. L. Kivett, A. Jeffers, F. I. Stevens, T. B. Parker, and others. Prof. Massey will discuss potato growing; Mr. Kivett writes on "Growing Large Onions From Seed"; seed-testing is discussed by Dr. Stevens; the proper man agment of garden soils, rotation, etc., is the field covered by Prof. Hume; Mr. Parker's letter deals with fertilizers and how to apply them; spraying, and especialy the making of Bordeaux mixture, is discussed, a helpful diagram for a farm garden will be printed, and there will be a number of practical short articles from our readers. -'S . .. ; Our issue of February 21st will be a "Poultry Special" with "Uncle Jo" of course in all" his glory, and Mr. J. S. Jeffrey a prominent contribu tor, while a score of other striking and helpful articles will make it a number to be treasured and preserved. A jim-dandy indeed will be our "Corn Special" February 28th. For this our Dr. Butler is mak ing a careful and unbiased study of the now fam ous Williamson plan. Mr. C. B. Williams of North Carolina, Prof. Newman or Prof. Harper of South Carolina, and Prof. Soule of Virginia, have been asked to discuss varieties; a simple plan for test ing seed corn will be described by Dr. Stevens; our Mr. Parker and Prof. Kilgore will give the wisest methods of fertilizing, and we urge our farmer readers generally to send in their experi ences arid views. ,. Following this, March 7th, will come ourCot- ton Special," in which we shall give the experi ences of several progressive farmers in raising cot ton without hand hoeing; growers who have made from two to three bales per acre will tell how they did it; there will be reports on the best va rieties of cotton; some one will discuss the value of the long staple breeds; and good fertilizer for mulas will be printed. And for this number, as well as for the Corn Special, we urge our farmer readers to send us letters on any subject calculated to help our farmers to make bigger yields of these two great staple crops. For each number we shall award Vi --. n.tirac! -n q rf 43 nno rf 49 an1 nnn -i f LET THE GASOLINE ENGINE DO YOUR WORK. 5 i . I m SJMT 7: r J The gasoline engine is rapidly becoming one of the most popular of all sources of farm power and an article in next week's Progressive Farmer will indicate some of the many uses to which i v r?i - it can be put. $1 for the three best articles sent us by farm ers in our territory. Watch for our "Specials." AND STLLL THEY COME UNSOLICITED AND UNEXPECTED! We published last week four or five striking testimonials from stockmen and seedsmen un expected and unsolicited regarding the pulling quantities of The Progressive Farmer, and here are two others just received: Hickory, Va., Jan. 24, 1907. Editor Progressive Farmer, Raleigh, N. C. Dear Sir: Please kindly discontinue our seed corn ad. in your paper. Your paper did the work. We are sold completely out. t Yours truly, WOODARD BROS. Cedar Grove, N. C, Jan. 23, 1907. Editor Progressive Farmer, Raleigh, N. C. Dear Sir: You have asked me to renew my advertisement in The Progressive Farmer for Berkshire pigs. I would be glad to do so, but the small advertisement I had in your paper sold me out. I have tried other papers and did not get a single inquiry, but when I tried The Progressive Farmer my pigs left me, and won't long about it. I will have some advertising to do in a week or too and will remember you. JNO. P. ALLISON. Moral: If you have stock or poultry for sale, send us an ad., and we will do for you what we have done for others. Write to-day. The above article was crowded, out of last week's paper, so here are two more unsolicited testimonials to keep the others company: Bush Creek, Tenn., Jan, 31, 1907. I have, answered forty letters this month, and they fall said they saw my ad. in The Progressive Farmer, f it's a good medium. E. S. WRIGHT. Raleigh, N. C, Feb. 1, 1907. Of all the dozen papers I advertise in, The Pro gressive H'armer nairt hest. Next vear I do not expect to advertise in any other paper in this State. My small ad. brought me scores of letters anjd :ord(r mentioning your paper; the . results surprisea aua aeiigniea me, tnougn i mougm at n The moral is the same. W. A. SIMPKINS. I .
