Profits for Farmers
in Agricultural News

A report recently added to the library
of the u. s. Department of Agriculture
filled an entire book of more than
/, 100000 words. Several scientists
spent more than five years collecting
data. making exeriments and drawing
conclusions from which the report was
made. Inforna ion OF incalcual3le
value to farmers thronghc ut the United
States was contained in this reporr,
but it never would have reached these
farmers if the report had not been
boiled down and translated so that the
cal meat was avilabie in condensed
form.
Farmers who read the Agricultural
Department of The Inquirer are
keeping in touch with agricultural
pr gress as it is recorded by exl erts
in the employ of the United States
government. The reports from which
this agricultural news is G. implied
would be next to worthless il they
were not rewritten and condensed into
practical, understandable articles and
made available to those who seek
better and more profitable methods Of
farming.
No farmer has time to wade throu h
a lengthy teconical treatise CONFIDENCE
this book and offer a clear, concise
statement telling the farmer how to
solve an old problem or show him how
to save money, and real service is
rendered.
This is why farmers are following the
Agricult ural Department of The Mon
mouth Inquirer. They know that what
they read comes from reliable source.
1t is easy to understand and is made
even more clear by diagrams,
photographs or naps.The government
is spending thousands Of dollars in
agricultural research, and the farmer
who makes practical applications
of the advice or suggestion found in
these columns is the one who profit in
the end.
The Ag icultural Department is one
of - regular features carried
ev asivelv blythe Monmouth Inqui er
ohis territory. Fro i. what farmers
ell us we areled to believe that it is one
of the NEST popular features we carr Y.
If you have been overlooking it. turn
to it now and see if you won't find
something of interest to talk over with
your neighbour.
