No farms have succeeded so well
as small farms More money per acre
has been taken.from them, and each
dollar represents greater profits.
This state and county will never at
tain high degree of agricultural
prosperity until the small farm idea
permeates the minds of our land own
ers and farmers. Double the size of
your farms, not BY adding more acres,
but by making each acre doubly pro-
ductive. Sell off half your land If
necessary and put it on top the re-
manning half. You will then make
more profit and do it with less out
lay. You will live more comfortably
and besides have less taxes to pay.
Buy one of Melyin's Garden Farms
and try it.

High Farming.

Look to it, farmers. Decrease your
acreage and make each acre of your
farm more productive. Try the plan
of high farming. Good mauring is
good farming. 1t makes good crops
as well as good land. In Europe it
has been demonstrated that it will
pay to make acres rich. The small
farms of France, Belgium, and other
parts of the Continent give immense
yields per acre. The garden farms
around our cities yield immensely in
many instances with profits in pro-
portion. The plan of Melvin's Gar
den Farming is based upon this idea
and it is correct one. Two or three
acres in small fruits and garden pro-
ducts brought to their highest state
of cultivation and productiveness
will be very remunerative.

the teachers and the children by show
ing them that you feel an interest in the
