INCREASE THE YIELD OF YOUR FARM 



The Kuropean war is doubling the demand for American farm products. We can in- 

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

 acre We must do better farming:, not only in the Kast and Middle West, but in the great 

 Krain raising territory west of the Missouri River. 



Everybody knows that by following 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 

 what the principles of the Campbell System are and adopt them ? You can get all this and 

 a thorough agricultural education without leaving homo by taking a course in the 



Campbell Correspondence School of Soil Culture 



You can have your choice of eight courses. Soil Tillage, Soil Improvement. Small 

 Kafming. Horticulture, Irrii;ation, Dry Farming, Karm Engineering and Animal Husbandry.
