Progressive Agriculture 73 



per acre of 64 pound wheat, and referred to later 

 on. In the eleven intervening years, many a 

 farmer has tried to grow wheat by summer tilling 

 and failed of any profit and strongly denounced 

 the methods and principles all because of mistakes 

 and a misunderstanding of the real how, not only 

 in tillage but quantity of seed and time of seeding. 



To more fully substantiate the fact that the 

 correct time and kind of work means more than 

 quantity of work in not only summer tilling but 

 in successful crop growing, we take the liberty to

 his fields of grain we have shown you in the various 

 pictures. Mr. Moyer is not only growing crops 

 with larger yields than any one else, but he is 

 making all due preparations for a pleasant, 

 attractive home in the near future. A glance at 

 Cut No. 6, shows a row of Carolina poplars on 

 the south of his orchard only five years old and 

 fully 18 feet high now. Cut No. 7 is an interest- 

 ing view of his five year-old cherry trees just 

 north of the Carolina poplars. Mr. Moyer has 

 never failed to get fine vegetables and potatoes 

 since he learned how. 



Cut No. 21 shows Mr. Moyer cutting his 

 champion crop of wheat in 1915, pulling his
