j Jjgj] THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER
Realizing that this year, the next and the next maybe, the
American farmer will be called upon to feed the major por
tion of the peoples of The Earth, we have arranged for our
readers to also receive The Progressive Farmer. We rec
ognize it as the South’s leading exponent of the now vital
doctrines of crop diversification and farm products con
servation.
So important have these problems appeared to our Pres
ident that he has issued an appeal to the South to not only
feed itself but have something more for our sorely needing
friends across the Seas.
** As your patriotic duty equip yourself by using the advice
and guidance of this standard farm weekly which sells for
one dollar a year and m»- be had with our paper for the
