That the farmers of the South and Middle West are taking full advan tage of the hurry up call for more food I crops is perfectly apparent to the close observer. On ail sides we see ground be ing broken for corn, potatoes and the like that was not intended for cultiva tion this year, and thousands of farmers are planning second crops, soy beans, turnips. late corn, etc., in answer to the appeal of American leaders and the undeniable evidence not only of enor mously better prices, hut also of the national need and necessity for every man to do his duty. •hate spring conditions and wet lands have added to the difficulties, but these are being met in many localities ; by the adoption of a newer and sim -pler method of preparing land that fills the demand of the hour so completely that Us introduction at this time ap pears almost providential. We refer to the Jobson System of deep tillage and the remarkable “Common Sense” plow that turns top soil and subsoil at one and the same time, but does not bring the clay or under stratum to the top to impoverish the land or give it the usual temporary set-back in fertility at this time when we can ill afford to sacrifice a present bushel even to a future cart load. The Jobson plow is just the thing for this late preparation of the soil, both now and throughout the sum mer months; for it will be a long time before it is too late to plant some kind of food to mature before late fall. This plow is simple and “Common Sense” in construction and use and can be operated without any previous experience. The cost is very small, compared to the big ad vantage, and it is undoubtedly some thing that every farmer in the United States ought to have right now. 'A bcol ' t. written on this subject by Major John W. Norwood of Fulton county, Cli!., is entitled "The Common Sen-? of Deep Plowing and Bigger Profits on the Farm.” This work is being read and discussed by thousands of farmers and agriculturists all over the south. The editors of The South ern Ruralist, The Southern Cultivator, The Fancier Farmer and other leading writers and officials have approved of it heartily, and Hon. J. D. Price, for mer commissioner of agriculture, said of it: “I wish every farmer in my state could read it.’’ This booklet is now being mailed free. A request on a penny post card will bring it to any reader of this pa per. Address The Jobson Plow Cos., Atlanta. Ga. Jobson Agencies, establish ed with the best and most pro gressive harhware and general store everywhere, are always glad to give out literature con cern ng the System and to do c c: ’/thing they can to spread it’s benefits in their communi ties.
