HELP YOURSELF to Bigger Income 
Faribault, Minn., January 15, 1935. 
Once Again—Greetings to Our Many Friends 
Just a year ago I stated you were facing the 
brightest year in many, and that new money 
would start circulating from the farm. 
Today you are realizing this prediction. 
Farmers have received larger incomes the last 
three or four months than at any time in four 
years. The lowest point for 1934 was 390 mil¬ 
lion dollars, reached in April last. From then 
on a steady increase has brought the farm in¬ 
come up to 700 million dollars at the present 
time. 
True enough—chiefly government money, but 
given a normal year, coupled with the new-born 
courage—the wise selection of crops that pay— 
and 1935 may well be the outstanding year of 
your life. 
To help make this possible, we present you 
with this book from which we hope you may 
profit.

send cash in a letter unless registered. Doing 
so will be at your own risk. 
Please don’t send checks under $1.00—send 
stamps or cash. Allow 10c exchange on all 
checks to cover charges by banks. We will in¬ 
clude extra seeds to adjust. 
PARCEL POST SHIPMENTS. Packages weigh¬

sons cannot be sent by mail. We prepay postage

the catalog. Orders of ten pounds or more to 
the 5th zone, or farther, usually travel more 
cheaply by express than parcel post.
