Mr. Thos. M. Brown. Springfield, Mo.
Dear Sir:-I bought one of Thos. M.

can make money on Browns factory.
The first year / canned. in 1907, | sold
my tomatoes at railroad station for
80 cents per dozen; in 1908 for s5
cents per dozen; in 1909 for rs cents
per dozen; in 1910 for IS cents per
dozen; in 1911 for S1.05 per dozen. In
1911 we had no rain from early April
until the goth Of August. nearly s
months. / planted acres Of toma-
toes and canned them. Those 3 acres
cleared me 100000, after paying all
expenses for labor, cans gasoline,
cases, etc. That is a nice sum to
make off of 8 acres Of ground for e
dry season-$333.3 per acre net. II
anyone doubts the above statement

JOHN B. REBURA.
THERE ARE many farmers who do
not clear as much net cash on a 20
acre corn crop as Mr.. John B. Rebura
cleared on one acre Of tomatoes. He
grows his regular farm crops in addi-
tion 10 his tomatoes. They are out OF
the way before canning season begins.

above. make Is sizes, from $50 to $3.50
for the Farmer, Neighborhood and large
