FAR 



LIEF 



Dear Folks: 



Farm Relief; it's been on the lips of everyone. What can 

 be done to help the farmer? And so we passed a law to make 

 the American Farmer prosperous. 



It used to be said that you could not starve a lazy farmer. 

 In the days when a few sheep furnished the mutton tallow for 

 the home-made candle and the wool for the home spun clothes, 

 this might have been true. Such is no longer the case. Lazy 

 farmers do not exist today, or at least they do not exist very long. 

 Today the farmer buys his gasoline, with which to make his 

 electric light, from the oil company. His clothes are already made 

 up for him on the shelves of the town merchant. The wash tub 

 which used to serve both on Saturday nights and Monday morn- 

 ings has faded away before the modern bath room and washing 

 machine. He has to buy these, things. To buy them he has to 

 raise crops at a lower cost than the price he receives when mar- 

 keting them. 



His problem then is not very different from his merchant friend who also must keep 

 costs down to succeed. He cannot depend on the horse-drawn plow when there are only a few 

 days left in which to plant his corn. When the hired man is sick and his neighbors all busy, 

 a power cultivator is the only means by which his corn land can be kept in condition. The 

 fertilizer he has used must be of good analysis and highly available to give sturdy growth 

 and early maturity. The seed he has planted must be free from weeds, true to name and of 

 strong vitality, that his season's labor be not wasted on a crop of inferior quality. 



In fact, today as always, the best and most permanent type of farm relief must come 

 from within. Laws made in Washington may aid and strengthen, but they will never equal 

 brawn and brain at home.

WE GUARANTEE our seeds, plants, etc., to reach 

 our customer in good condition. We give no war- 

 ranty, expressed or implied, as to description, purity 

 or productiveness, or any other matter of any

 in any way responsible for the crop. If purchaser 

 does not accept the goods on these terms, they are 

 to be returned at once, and the money that has been 

 paid for same will be refunded. There are many 

 reasons why seeds do not always turn out as de- 

 sired such as sowing too deep or too shallow, in too 

 wet weather, cold weather or too dry soil, or too 

 wet soil, insects which do not only destroy the 

 seeds, but often the young plants, about the time 

 they appear at the surface of the ground. For 

 these causes we cannot guarantee seeds or the crop.
