 crease our acreage but this will not meet the demand— we must increase our yields per 

 acre We must do better farmintj. not only in the East and Middle West, but in the great 

 grain raising; territory west of the Missouri River. 



Everybody knows that by followintr the Campbell System of Soil Culture, crop yields 

 have been doubled in every State of the Union from New York to California. Why not learn
