farmer been that today, seven
years after he purchased his
little farm. he is entirely out of
debt, has q good honse, fine
barns, cash in the bank, and a
standing offer Of $1,000 for his
twenty acres Of ground. Last
winter he spent three months in
Switzerland, and for the past
three years he has been to the
Colorado mountains every sum-
mer on pleasure bent.
Says The government bulletin:
THE intensive methods pur-
sued by Mr.. Martin are Of par.
ticular interest. The land is
kept busy from spring until fall.
At the last cultivation of pota-
toes, corn is planted between
the rows. A full crop Of pota-
toes and a fair crop Of corn is
produced from the same ground.
AS many as TOO bushels of po-
tatoes and rs bushels of corn are
produced from each acre planted
in this way.
After the potatoes ripen the
corn keeps the weeds
down. By the time corn needs
the ground the potatoes are ripe,
and the corn is in the shock be-
fore it is time to dig the potatoes.
Some parts Of the potato patch
are sowed with millet and sor-
ghum just before the last culti-
vation. This makes a good crop
Of feed and does not hurt the
potatoes. Squashes are some
times planted in the same way.
The onion patches grow corn
and melons, which are planted
in rows between the onions.
Part Of the orchard is set with
small fruit and part is planted
with potatoes and truck.
In dry spells all the water
that the windmill will pump is
used for irrigation and it is here
that intensive farming reaches
its height. The water from the
we'll flows directly to the bitches
as pumped. A little manure is
scattered in the bitches to pre-
vent washing.
''The orchards contain 90C
pear, 200 cherry. 800 peach and
q few apple trees. The trees are
planted in straight rows and be.

est 10 every farmer to know
something about the most sue
cessful farmer in the United
Rates." what he does and how
he does il.
But, how do you know who he
Is; how can any one person, who
acts as Judge in this big show
or contest, determine who the
best or most successful farmer
Is since il would take one man q
life time TO inspect only one
tenth Of the farms in the Unit
ed States?
Well, perhaps we should am
end by saying the man whom
the Department of Agriculture
says is the most successful far
mer in the United States. ("
That is putting it exact, and 1t
must be admitted that the De-
partment Of Agriculture is In
position TO know what it is talk
ing about. When first they hear
of a particularly successful far
mer they investigate his farm
and his methods.
This man who is the most sue
cessfui farmer in this country
lives near Pawnee City, Nebras-
ka, and his name is Arnold Mar
tin. He has been showing the
Department of Agriculture some
things it didn't know. before.
An expert has been investigat-
ing Mr.. Martins system and the
department has issued q bulletin
telling farmers oil over the coun-
try just how the Nebraska man
manages things on the plot Of
ground which he calls his farm.
Martin Is no ameteur, but de-
votes his entire attention to ag-
riculture, and every cent of his
income, is produced from his
work on the body Of land which
he owns, seven miles from Paw
nee City.
In Nebraska as in Iowa and
other middle-western states, it
is generally considered that q
man must tend at least 100 acres
in order to make money. Mar
tins farm contains just twenty
acres and from this body of land
he cares for his family and saw
es II, 900 each year.
While Martin raises O certain
amount of fruit, his principal
crops are the usual farm crops,
corn, potatoes, wheat, alfalfa,
etc. Not a foot of the twenty
acres is permitted to remain
idle, and two and three crops of
of something or other is raised
on every acre every year.
Martin came to Pawnee City
ten years ago from Switzerland
without a cent. All he knew
was farming. He went to work
as a farm hand and in three
years managed to save up 1915.
Then he started out for himself.
Twenty acres is all ! want
ed," he says. That's ensugh
land if farmed rightfully, for
any man,"
Martin found his twenty acr-
es. Itwas rocky and not worth
farm!ng-so the owners of the
surrounding farms declare. AS
proof of the poor quality of the
land, Martin paid only $3.50 an
acre for for it, while surround
ing land was worth from $50 to
$75 an acre. The new purchaser
paid just 500 down and gave a
mortgage for the balance. The
remainder of his money he used
to buy farm implements and live
stock.
The bulletin which the depart
ment has issued concerning Mar
tin says:
His neighbors used to laugh
at the young farmer and nick
:, named him "Hazelbrush'' but
