Progressive Agriculture 125 



BELIEVES IN THE PRINCIPLES 



MR. F. E. DODSON, Stratton, Nebraska, April 2, 1915: "I fully believe 

 in your principles and system of farming and I want to be able to put them 

 into more effective operation. I would have left this country long ago had it 

 not been for the possible results that I know can be accomplished by your 

 system. I shall try to put into practice the principles of soil culture that I 

 have learned with your help." 



NOTHING TO WORRY ABOUT NOW 



MR. ED DESENS, Stratton, Nebraska, November 2, 1914: "When one 

 has plenty of feed at the close of a dry year like this it makes one feel proud to 

 think he has accomplished something worth while, and I know I have. It 

 has been a hard matter for me to raise feed for stock, therefore, I could only 

 winter a few until you taught me your methods. 



"The seventeenth of July, I sowed 20 acres of cane on spring tilled land 

 from which over five tons of dry feed the finest quality I have seen. Now 

 with one hundred tons of cane in the stack I have nothing to worry about." 



BUT THE WHEAT IS FINE 



MR. P. E. PARKINS, Stratton, Nebraska, May 16, 1915: "While I believe 

 your way is the right way, I am not in shape to carry out your instructions as 

 I would like to. My wheat that I put in last year on summer tilled is certainly 

 fine and encourages one to follow you more and closer." 



MAKES FOR RENEWED CONFIDENCE 



MR. JOHN W. SCHMIDT, New Castle, Wyoming, May 30, 1915: "With 

 many thanks, I wish to acknowledge the receipt of your instructions and 

 interesting letters both of May eighteenth and May twenty-first, together 

 with Bulletin, 'Some Tillage Suggestions.' This information has put matters 

 more clearly in my understanding aid makes o.ie feel confident and encouraged 

 to try again in spite of failures ii the past when we can see why we failed and 

 how to prevent it."
