Graduate work in agriculture has been offered by some 

 of the agricultural colleges for many years, but in the last few 

 years, as a result of the rapid development in the science 

 of agriculture, the character of graduate work has improved, 

 and the number of institutions offering graduate courses in 

 agriculture has greatly increased. 



STREAMS WHICH FLOW TWO WAYS. 



In the northern part of Minnesota there is a great 

 area of land so flat that its waters sometimes flow into 

 Hudson Bay and sometimes into the Gulf of Mexico. This 

 area contains the headwaters of Mississippi river. There 

 are times when certain lakes discharge at both ends, the 

 northern outlet taking the flow through Red river or Rainy 

 river into Lake Winnipeg, and thence into Hudson Bay; 

 while the southern outlet leads to the Mississippi. There- 

 fore the dividing line between the Mississippi drainage 

 basin and that of Hudson Bay is indefinite and in many 

 places can not be determined, and the consideration of 

 these two basins in connection with their water supplies 

 and the uses that can be made thereof must logically be 

 taken up together. The Geological Survey discusses the 

 Hudson Bay and Mississippi river basins in its recent pub- 

 lication, officially known as Water-Supply Paper 285. 



NEW TYPE OF OIL. 



The oil from the large well recently drilled by the 

 Myles Mineral Co. at Pine Prairie, I, a., is remarkable, ac- 

 cording to an analysis made by the United States Geologi- 

 cal Survey, in that it contains no asphalt, gasoline, or 

 paraffin wax. The crude product contains a very large 

 percentage of illuminating oil. In composition the oil 

 stands about halfway between the oil of the gulf field and 

 that of the Caddo field. 



One Irrigation a Year 



By using the Campbell System of Scientific Farming 

 you can produce a bumper crop on one-half the water 

 ordinarily used. It is done by better tillage and a 

 thorough conservation of the moisture and plant food. 

 Many irrigationists are developing their orchards and 

 maturing their fruit on one irrigation a year by employing 

 the Campbell System storing the water in t the soil. This 

 system prevents leaching, and keeps the soil fertile and 

 sweet at all times. You are not bothered with alkalinity. 

 Your land is never water-logged, thus depriving the plant 

 of the necessary air to insure a quick healthy growth. 

 Plants do not grow while the soil is water soaked. 



The Campbell Correspondence School 



is the result c' thirty years' experiment and demonstration 

 by Prof. Campbell and his associates. This course teaches 

 when to plow, how deep to turn the ground, all about 

 cultivation, and the time WHEN and HOW to do the 

 work. 



THE CAMPBELL SYSTEM is used the world over. It 

 is practiced in Spain, Hungary, Italy, India, Australia 

 and North and South America. Wherever intelligently 

 used, by irrigator or dry land farmer, it has doubled the 

 yield.
