122 Progressive Agriculture 



Some Strong Endorsements of 

 Our Work 



INCREASED PRODUCTIVENESS 



Mr. Ray Shepherd, merchant, Yuma, Colorado, June 11, 1915: "In 

 conversation with Mr. Moyer only yesterday, your name and work were 

 mentioned and Mr. Moyer remarked that in his estimation your teachings 

 and demonstrations had increased the productiveness of this county more 

 than we could conceive. 



"The good your personal supervision and instruction has done to our 

 farmers is unmeasureable. I have been in close touch with these people for 

 the past six years. I personally know of more occasions than one when they 

 have been almost discouraged and ready to give up but you came along and 

 talked the matter over with them and they have come through winners, and 

 I am only expressing the feeling of the entire country." 



THEY PRODUCED RESULTS 



MR. JOHN DUGAN, Stoneham, Colorado, June 3, 1915: "I don't believe 

 you realize the real benefit you have done and are doing this territory. Among 

 the newcomers, there are a few who are familiar with your system of farming. 

 These fellows went right ahead and produced results, showing the balance of 

 us how to handle this land. The result is that last year we had over fifty cars 

 of grain shipped from this small station where ten years ago it was thought 

 impossible to raise a bushel. Your talk last April was a big help but just 

 made our people hungry for more. The farmers knowing you by reputation 

 have faith in your advice." 



SUCCESS IN KNOWING HOW 



MR. W. W. COCKRAN, Briggsdale, Colorado, December 23, 1914: "Three 

 years ago I listened to a lecture by you in Sligo, I then took up the study 

 of farming as laid down by you, and since then the personal advice you have 

 been kind enough to give me in my own fields has enabled me to grow what 

 would be fairly good crops in Lancaster county, Nebraska, or any other 

 place. 



"My wheat this year made 34 bushels, my corn 30 bushels, barley 20 

 bushels, millet 20 bushels, and potatoes 120 bushels. I have a small pit silo 

 that holds 30 tons, which I filled from 7 acres of corn. These crops were 

 all made on less than 8 inches of rainfall, and I owe my success to you."
