INCREASE THE YIELD OF YOUR FARM 



The European war is doubling the demand for .\nierican farm products. We can in- 

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

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

 grain rais.ng 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 home by taking a course in the 



Campbell Correspondence School of Soil Culture 



You can have your choice of eight courses, Soil Tillat'e, Soil Improvement, Small 

 Farming. Horticulture, Irrigation. Dry Farming. Farm Engineering and Animal Husbandry, 

 allforanominaltuitionfee.no board to pay. no books to buy. everything furnished, and 

 you can use your spare time while still running your farm or holding your job. 



We cannot tell you all about these courses, the faculty and the free bureau of advice 

 in this ad, but we will be glad to send you full information at any time. Write and ask for 

 our free catalog No. 3. and a sample copy of the Scientitic Farmer.
