A com list would cover i ran pages.- Yon must uu Four Volumes, J'-A prges. in order to .a fully the help tav v, U give you. JAYSON MATTHEWS owned i a store in Tennessee. He knew nothing about scientific fanning but land was cheap and he purchased sorue as low as $8 per acre. The land had been "cottoned to death' three e : i erations of cotton-growing had j-.n-iped the soilg's vitality. The land v as typical of the country around. Oakland, Tennessee hilly, full of allies, barren. At first the yield vs-hs about a bale of cotton to each fire acres. Some parts of the low land, where fertile soil had been washeddown.pro duced fairly well, but the hills were almost bare. Mr. Matthews felt that the only way to make his investment profitable was to get the help of someone who was experienced in reclaiming worn out land. Hedid not try tado it all him self. He secured the help of men who, through years of ex perience, knew just what to do. And the result was that in one year, instead of getting a bale to each five acres, the soil yielded a bale per aore, with only two-thirds of a stand! The land has increased in value over 10 timet ! What Mr. Mat thews has done is only typical of re sults secured by ap plying the experience- of men who have made good. In whatever branch of agriculture you are interested, you, too, can profitably follow the lead of those who- have been most successful. There is no reason why you should pay, in money and time, to learn what someone else has found out There is no reason why you .need make the costly mistakes which others have paid for. Take ad vantage of the methods, the plans, the .suggestions which have been proved the most successful. i Now Available to All But you ask, "How can I find out what the country's most successful farmers are doing, and how can I learn these things without going; to a great expense, and without talc- inga prohibitive amount of time?" That is the question Sears, Roebuck and Co. has answered for the farmers of America. At an ex- Payeon pense of over $50,000 for the editorial . material alone, the successful farming ' experience of recognized authorities in all parts of the country has been col lected and placed within the covers of FARM KNOWLEDGE. Never tefbre has a work of this scope and value been produced. There is nothing else like it. It is the most complete and the most practical work ever prepared for the farmer. It helps to eliminate the costly personal experimenting, It is a clearing house of answers to the problems you must solve every year. Instead of im proving jrour methods through the ex perience of your neighbors, a little at a time you can improve your methods and increase your profits through the experi ence of the most successful farmers ...v U4 .41 V in the country, in a fraction of the time. Suppose Hugh G. Van Pelt; the emi-' nent dairy authority came to your farm for a week and told you what he knows about breedings and selecting cows sup pose F. C. Minkler, one of the great national authorities on cattle and swine ' feeding, spent a month on your place showing you what methods have brought the greatest success to him and to others suppose Dr. A. S. Alexander, the most prominent Veterinarian in the country, was right on your place when there was danger of your los ing a horse, a hog, : or a cow and. told ' you what to do to save it suppose a super - farmer or a recognized author ity on corn,, cotton, soil culture, wheat, oats, poultry; in fact, every branch of farming, could be with you when you needed their help most couldn't you materially increase your production and profits? Well, that is what FARM KNOWLEDGE means to you. It Matthews l?uu""a ?es lupugnt, me Dest methods, the most practical plans of over 100 men who have made good in a big way. An entire volume is devoted to soils and their treatment. Simple and Practical Above all, FARMT KNOWLEDGE is practical. It is not a collection of theories ; , it ia not an idle treatise on "why you : should farm, better;' it is not technical; itia not made up of extracts ; it does not present plana and methods which are out w . feveraSB farmer. Instead, FARM KNOWLEDGE contains the re sults of actual experience in improving methods and increasing profits; it was specially written in interesting and easy-to-understand language. It is up-to-the-minute in every way, ypt it upholds every - 0 uouu eomoleto mnnnal A CI t ... . . . w Sears, R( Published for and Distributed by Co.
