Success in the Gulf Coast Country

Here is an example of what YOU could do. 1 50 Bushels of Corn from One Acre in 15 Months Mr. Jh:i Ctosner lias a farm near Hidalgo Texas. He has railed three cropt (if ctirn on one piece of land in the last fifteen months. Each crop yielded not less than fifty bushels to the acre. Ha does not have tOWait for the ground to thaw in the Spring. A!mr st as soon as ba harvests one nop he can plant for the next. IIo is not afraid that ÜM weatfci r rill be too wet r too dry or toocold. He wat rs hi.s land by itri-.ition and h.i an inexliatistihk- supply ol water. If you will vritc Mr. Closner at rlMatfOi Texas, he will tell you oral about thia country. Tbare h ive been many other instances of lemarualde success in tbt Gull Coast Country, of which I will ba K.ld to tc II you upon request.

not depend on un ertaia vv - aher with irregular rainfall ? No IV the 1 t nl is cheap anu hi can L"-t it on .i v terms. Twenty

You may want an artesian well of y air own; . 11 niav e,-t water from some liver; or you may get it from your neighbor.
