Increasing the Yield 



While the saving to the farmer by using the manure spreader is mate- 

 rial, it is insignificant as compared to the increased yield in crops, which 

 is shown in the following table. The table showing the increase in pro- 

 duction where manure is applied over that where no manure is applied, 

 is also worthy of the farmer's attention. 



Repeated trials extending over a number of years have demonstrated 

 the fact that a manure spreader used on forty acres of land will more 

 than pay the cost of the machine in one season by increasing the crop, 

 to say nothing of the great saving in labor. 



The experiments of Mr. Chesney Hatch, of Newton County, Ind., are 

 strictly in keeping with hundreds of other like trials. Mr. Hatch ex- 

 perimented by spreading manure on twenty acres and at the same time 

 compared the results with crops raised on similar land without manure. 



The results of his experiments given in the following table should 

 cause the farmer to seriously consider the great value of a spreader.
