124 Progressive Agriculture 



SUMMER TILLAGE DOES THE BUSINESS 



MR. AUGUST DESENS, Stratton, Nebraska, September 7, 1914: "Our 

 summer tilled wheat was fine up to June eleventh, when we had a terrible 

 hail storm making it a total loss. It would have yielded 45 to 50 bushels per 

 acre. 



"My cane sowed under your instructions is dandy. It stands about 5$ 

 feet high, heading out and has been in the ground only 43 days, will make 

 the best feed I ever raised. 



"Our ground we have summer tilled for wheat next year is moist the full 

 depth of the five foot auger. We have 56 acres of this summer tilling and are 

 well pleased with the system, as it is the only way to raise big crops. Wish 

 you could see my cane." 



HEARTY COOPERATION ASSURED 



MR. E. LORING, Yuma, Colorado, September 25, 1914: "Perhaps it 

 might be interesting to you to know something of the 1914 crop conditions 

 near Yuma. I could give you names of many who have wonderful yields of 

 grain under your system of farming, farmers here are just beginning to realize 

 what good or better farming means. 



"I hope Mr. Campbell, you will continue to be with us for some time. 

 I am in position to judge the feeling as to better farming among our farmers 

 here, for during the winter time many farmers congregate in my office and we 

 have thorough discussions regarding methods of farming. I can assure you 

 of our hearty cooperation." 



MILLET GETS BIG CROP 



MR. EMIL ANDREEN, Dalton, Nebraska, September, 14 1915: "I am 

 sending you today a sample of millet. It was planted the seventh of July on 

 spring tilled land and made a most wonderful growth. I had five acres of it. 

 It looks good for at least 80 bushels to the acre. This is the fruit of some 

 of your efforts." 



WELL PAID FOR THE WORK 



MR. F. E. VANGUILDER, Haxton, Colorado, October 24, 1914: "My 

 summer tilled field in 1913, yielded 24 bushels to the acre, and had no rain 

 from May thirtieth, until wheat was ripe. I had 20 acres of wheat in a field 

 adjoining which was planted in corn stalk land well cultivated, and from the 

 20 acres I got 46 bushels or 21 bushels per acre, which shows plainly that I 

 was well paid for all work done on the summer tilled land. I never expect to 

 let another year go by without summer tilling." 



SEND THE SKEPTICS TO YUMA 



MR. J. M. MOVER, Yuma, Colorado, August 26, 1914: "This year I 

 disked my stubble ground while harvesting, as you advocated and I found 

 that it surely pays, as I could go ahead and plow afterwards, while whore the 

 ground had not been disked, the moisture was all gone. I wish you could have 

 noted the difference. The more your methods are practiced the less failures 

 there will be and the semi-arid districts will be the best of all and bloom like 

 Hahn's rose garden. 



"I have been able to grow trees, fruit and grain of different kinds, where 

 others have failed, but it has all been done along the lines of your advice. 

 I wish hundreds of eastern renters could see and know just what myself and 

 several other farmers have done here in the past four years. 



"When you find any skeptics just send them to Yuma and we will con-- 

 vince them that with the Campbell system properly applied this country is 

 as good as any."
