"IVTO city man can make a farm pay. He 

 has not lived close to the ground — has 

 not been brought up to know the cattle and 

 the crops — he soon gets tired of it. 



ASK ANY FARMER 



THAT FARM 



By Harrison Whittingham 



f 



Tells a different story. For this man gave up 

 I a large business to turn farmer at first for the 

 love of it, then because it paid him, not only in 

 health and pleasure but in cash as well. And all 

 this time the real farmers were just making both ends 

 meet. % He was successful because he applied bus- 

 iness methods to his farm. But he had his ups and 

 downs and his experiences are interesting and in- 

 structive.
