Read what this man says. After
using only two cakes of Resinol Soap
and one-half jar of Resinol Ointment
he cured sores and eruptions of long
standing.
Il had a very sore face, and after
trying most everything / thought I

drained. II was an ideal piece Of
land to farm and had been producing
yearly with no assistance and no rest
for many years The preceding year.
1901. 1t had only produced 20 BUSH
els of corn per acre
We realized that we must get that
field to producing more. Because Of
our extensive feeding we were also
anxious to grow as much corn as was
practicable. We did not deem II adj
visable to plan system OF crop man
agement for that field for succeeding
years, but rather to use our judgment
as each year came along.
In April. 1902, we seeded the whole
field OF 40 acres to clover with oats
as the nurse crop. The oat yield that
year was certainly not exceptional un-
less 1t was because of low yield of
IS bushels per acre. The clover
caught remarkably well when we con-
slider that 1t was eight years ago.
and that clover had not done well In
western Iowa up to that time. In
August and September of that year we
covered the whole field with a light
application of barnyard manure, about
eight one hundred bushel loads per
acre. We also put on one hundred
pounds of ground rock phosphate per
acre. Late that fall we plowed the
whole thing under. Remember that no
clover had been cut but the whole
green crop was turned under Corn
the following year made as bushels
per acre.
In the spring of 1904 we seed
ed the field againt to clover. using
oats as nurse crop. The oat crop that
year was very good. about 40 bushels
per acre. The large increase In the
yield Of the oats this year over that OF
1902 was due largely. am certain. to
the addition OF phosphorus.

ed and yielded 81 bushels and 20
pounds per acre.
This was certainly a very gratifying
increase over what It had produced
in 1901 when the yield was only 20
bushels.
We seeded 1t again TO oats and
clover in the spring OF 1907 The oats
this season we're very good crop
There were none In the country about
that could possibly compare with them
When they were thrashed there were
2325 bushels. This made a yield OF
$500 bushels per acre. In view OF
the very low yield of oats In our sec
toin of the state :or that year. this
was a remarkable yield. The oats
were Of excellent quality. as they
tested out "a pounds to the bushel
After we had removed the oat crop
cattle were turned on the land and
allowed to run at will over 1t until
the first of March, 1908. The land
was used as a meadow during 1908.
and two excellent crops of clover
were cut from it. The two crops to
gether made yield OF AS tons OF
good hay. That fall we did not con-
slider that another application of phos
phorus would be necessary. We did,
however. put on heavier coat OF ma
nure. Ten 100 bushel loads were put
on per acre at this time.
The field was plowed In October anc
left quite rough. Our object now was
to see just how much we could make
that field produce. We had the soil

aration, and cultivation We believed
we could get a phenomenal yield OF
corn In 1909
The field was left alone in the spring
until all weeds had good start. When
we did begin to work II. we worked II
thoroughly, being especially careful
to conserve moisture. Only tested seed
corn was used and after planting the
harrow was kept on It until the corn
was about to break through the sur.
face. We cultivated the corn four
times. That field was the farthest
along Of any field near IL throughout
the whole season. When it was husk.
ed that fall the yield was exactly 20
bushels per acre.
Let US compare the years 1901 and
1909. Twenty bushels of corn In
1901 at 25 cents per bushal gave to
tai value of only S. per acre. Ninety.
two bushels OF corn In 1909 at so cents
per bushel gives a total value OF sac
