A good start is half the battle, in growing corn. The corn at the left was grown on fertilizer applied as directed by 
our Agricultural Service Bureau, and yielded three times as much grain and nearly twice as much stover per acre ai the strip 
ot corn at the tight, which for purposes of comparison, was not fertilized. No manure was used. 
Don’t Work for Your Farm— 
Make Your Farm Work for You 
Real mastery of the soil cuts out much of the labor and worry of 
farming. What would it be worth to you now— today, for example,—when 
prices of farm products are at high level, to know just what course to follow 
with some unproductive meadow or field where all your efforts have failed 
to bring the results desired. The proper selection and use of fertilizer are 
important; so is the selection of seed, but the proper management of the soil 
is important as well. 
Why not find oat just what to do? Why not consult our 
AGRICULTURAL SERVICE BUREAU 
T HIS Bureau has carried on field tests for many years 
with many kinds of fertilizers and fertilizer materials, 
lime and other soil amendments in many states on 
different sods, under different conditions of rainfall, climate, 
etc. It has demonstrated to many farmers the 
best fertilizers for their purpose and the best 
ways of using them as well as the best methods 
of managing the soil. Each farmer has his own 
soil problems. Perhaps our Bureau may help 
you solve yours. It is under the personal charge 
of Dr. H. J. Wheeler, formerly Director of the 
Rhode Island Agricultural Experiment Station. 
This service is free to you. 
“How to Make Money with Fertilizers” 
is the title of a 56 page book (46 illustrations) containing 
information every farmer needs in relation to the proper use 
of fertilizers; it shows where profit is to be found, and how 
to get it. It is different from other fertilizer 
books and is not a catalogue. Any one of our 
offices named below will send it to you free. 
Simply mention this paper and ask for the book. 
Do it now. Don’t work for your farm. Make 
your farm work for you.
