Be the first to take advantage of the best and cheapest feed 
for stock and fowl on the market. Tell your farmers about these 
5 / 8 TO M INCH GIANT RUSSIAN SUNFLOWER SEED. They 
grow 15 feet high and the heads run to 18 inches in diameter. They 
will also prevent erosion, dust storms and floods by holding back 
the top soil. 
With millions of acres of our grazing land ruined and we 
import millions of pounds of meat and over 30,000,000 lbs of butter 
last year, don’t let this offer get away from you. 
There is a reason why the farmers of this country are in 
the condition they are. The rich, who knew that what happened to 
all countries when the black soil was washed away would event¬ 
ually happen here, did not realize that the time would come when 
they would be compelled to support millions on farms for years to 
come, who cannot make a living on their land today. 
Every superintendent of schools knows the history of the 
countries in Asia and Africa where they have simply existed for 
centuries. These countries were all covered with trees at one time. 
The Egyptians, Greeks and Babylonians took up this work 4,080 
years ago and then went to sleep, the same as we are doing in this 
country. 
I gave a talk at our Kiwanis Club and Chamber of Com¬ 
merce, and seed were ordered for 500 farmers in this county. If 
business men would take more interest in farmers, it would save 
them millions of dollars which they now pay out in taxes, and the 
farmers would have money to spend. 
Superintendent Caldwell of the Hammond Schools, whose 
father sawed and sold the finest walnut lumber from their farm in 
Iowa for $6.00 per 1000 ft., purchased 100,000 Russian Sunflower 
seed, which are being distributed to pupils. Superintendent 
Caldwell, in 1928-29, assisted me in distributing over 2,000,000 Pine 
Spruce, and Arbor Vitae tree seed to Hammond Pupils. 
As the Russian Sunflower grows so fast and makes such 
a fine appearance, pupils are interested in planting them. 
Order a sample $1.00 bag of seed and distribute them to 
the farmers and the children in your county. 
OR ORDER A 25 CENT (Stamps) PACKAGE OF SEED 
ENOUGH FOR 25 GARDENS, the seeds grow from Vs to over 3 4 
inch long and the heads to 18 inches in diameter.
