Have  these  farm  home  comforts 
which  make  life  more  worth  living 
Why  is  it  that,  in  every  county,  there  are 
certain  farmers  who  are  more  successful 
than  their  neighbors— farmers  who  enjoy 
fine  homes  and  all  the  comforts  of  the 
better  city  homes? 
Not  always,  either,  do  these  farmers 
own  the  largest  farms.  In  every  county 
there  are  men  who  farm  40,  80,  or  160 
acres  and  always  seem  to  make  money. 
Why  is  it? 
Isn’t  it  because  they  keep  abreast  of 
modern  farming  practices— diversifica¬ 
tion,  rotation,  fertilization— as  developed 
and  proved  by  their  State  Experiment 
Stations,  their  County  Agents,  their 
neighbors,  and  others? 
How  to  increase  yields 
Learn  from  these  farmers  the  secrets  of 
their  success.  Learn  from  them  how  the 
right  fertilizers,  for  instance,  will  produce 
enough  extra  cotton  or  corn  or  other 
crops  to  pay  for  an  automobile,  or  piano, 
or  other  luxury  which  you  would  like  to 
provide  for  your  family. 
There  is  a  man  in  your  town — the

after  investigation,  to  supply  the  Swift’s

your  farming  operations  more  resultful. 
He  will  help  you  to  grow  more  and  better

crops. 
Get  the  right  fertilizers

you  from  your  state  experiment  station 
or  from  the  Agricultural  Research  bureau

He  recommends  Swift’s  Red  Steer  Fer¬ 
tilizers  because  he  knows  that  “it  pays 
to  use  them”— and  because  he  knows

that  they  are  accurately  and  uniformly 
mixed,  and  that  when  properly  applied 
they  will  return  the  farmer’s  investment

A.  S.  A.  says: 
Your  acre  yields  and  the  quality  of 
your  crops  are  more  important  to 
you  than  prices. 
No  matter  what  the  price  is,  you 
are  better  off  if  you  have  a  thousand 
bushels  to  sell  than  if  you  have  five 
hundred.  You  will'get  just  twice  as 
much  money. 
The  most  successful  farmers  in  this 
county  are  the  ones  who  are  growing 
the  biggest  acre  yields  of  high  quality 
crops.  And  likewise,  you  can  be 
more  successful  if  you  increase  your 
acre  yields  and  improve  the  quality 
of  crops  you  grow. 
Perhaps  I  can  show  you  a  way  to 
do  this.  Come  in  and  talk  it  over.
