Let  your  agricultural  college  help 
you  make  farming  more  profitable 
The  farmer  who  attempted  to  justify  his 
methods  by  boasting  that  he  already  had 
“  worn  out  three  farms  ”  has  given  way  to 
the  farmer  who  takes  pride  in  his  ability 
to  “build  up  one  farm”. 
Back  of  the  present-day  farmer  is  an 
institution— the  State  Agricultural  Col¬ 
lege  and  the  State  Experiment  Stations — 
which  is  helping  you,  directly  or  indirectly, 
to  build  up  your  farm  and  to  make  your 
farming  operations  more  profitable. 
Its  buildings  have  been  built  with  state 
money.  Its  scientific  men  are  paid  by  the 
state.  Its  experiments,  its  soil  and  crop 
researches,  its  discoveries,  are  made  in 
your  behalf.  It  has  trained  your  county  • 
agent,  and  many  of  the  young  men  and 
young  women  of  your  community,  in  the 
science  of  profitable  agriculture. 
Make  use  of  it  yourself 
Make  use  of  it — it’s  yours.  Send  to  it  for 
crop  bulletins.  Refer  your  farming  prob¬ 
lems  to  it.  Get  its  advice  regarding  the 
crops  and  methods  of  fertilization  which 
will  pay  you  best.  Plan  to  send  your  sons 
and  daughters  there — that  they  may 
return  equipped  to  make  the  old  farm 
pay  greater  profits. 
In  your  county  is  another  factor— the 
Authorized  Swift  Agent,  the  man  or 
firm  selected  by  Swift  &  Company,  after 
investigation,  to  supply  the  Swift’s  Red 
Steer  Fertilizers  required  by  your  com¬ 
munity — who  wants  to  help  you  make 
farming  more  profitable. 
With  information  derived  from  the  ex¬ 
periment  station,  he  will  advise  with  you 
regarding  your  crop  and  soil  require¬ 
ments.  He  will  help  you  to  grow  more  on 
less  land,  to  increase  your  acre  yield,  to 
make  the  extra  money  required  to  send 
the  boys  to  college  or  to  give  to  your 
family  the  comforts  and  conveniences 
they  would  so  much  enjoy. 
Get  acquainted  with  this  man 
He  recommends  Swift’s  Red  Steer  Ferti¬ 
lizers  because  he  knows  “it  pays  to  use 
them”— and  because  he  knows  that  back 
of  every  bag  he  sells  are  the  vast  resources, 
the  supplies  of  raw  materials,  the  manu¬ 
facturing  skill,  the  chemical  and  agricul¬ 
tural  knowledge,  of  Swift  &  Company. 
He  knows  that  Swift’s  Red  Steer  Fer¬ 
tilizers  are  high  in  available  plant  food; 
that  they  contain  the  right  elements  for 
each  crop;  that  they  are  accurately  and 
uniformly  mixed ;  and  that  when  properly 
applied  they  will  return  the  farmer’s 
investment  many  times  over. 
Get  acquainted  with  the  Authorized 
Swift  Agent  in  your  town.  Get  acquainted 
with  him  now— it  will  pay  you.  If  you 
cannot  locate  hum  readily,  write  our 
nearest  sales  division.

A.  5.  A.  says: 
It  would  make  me  feel  good  if  I  knew 
that  every  farmer’s  son  and  daughter 
could  attend  Agricultural  College  this 
fall. 
Many  of  them  can.  Certainly 
those  farmers  who  apply  Swift’s  Red 
Steer  Fertilizers  liberally  are  provid¬ 
ing  for  extra  yields  and  extra  profits 
which  will  make  a  college  education 
possible  for  their  children. 
Whether  or  not  you  send  the  boys 
this  fall,  make  use  of  the  college  any¬ 
how.  Come  in — and  I  will  go  over  with 
you  the  recent  bulletins  it  has  issued 
and  get  you  the  ones  you  want  to  read.
