Some see-n to be a little nervous over the applying of fertilizers to corn. Now. ii the methods you have been follow ing are as good as you would have them, ii is a waste of time and money to ihange, but If you believe that there are better methods of farming, and if you want to learn, follow our directions and wo will try to teach you. 1 am sure that you see the point. bul have you made up your mind to try to reach it? That is the very rea* >n why so many farmers make snell dreadful failure., and continue to do so. They have no confidence in themselves and very little in anyone else. Therefore they build up busi ness in the towns, such a.s merchan dising, stock trading, dealing In for tlllzers. vehicles and all kinds of Implements. Continuing as a shoddy farmer means that yon will continue lo pay high prices for shoddy stuff, work bard, live bard, die hard and inaiie i: hard for Ihuso you loa e be hind. Now.
