It's No Trick At AIL

Its easy enough to give growing accounts of any country, but quite a different thing to get government experts to speak highly of it. Without something of worth to recommend it. Mr. M. A. Crosby writes: “The lands of this country, east Mississippi, are similar to those in Alabama where we have been conducting work for five years. In our work with alfalfa we netted sl7 an acre the first year from seed sown in March. The second years crop netted ssl an acre. We also found that land that had been in alfalfa for two or three years doubled and in. some cases trebled the yield of corn. When broken up and planted to that crop. Personally I think that the lands of this section are as good an Investment as one could make.” Mr. Crosby has conducted expert-, mental work for the Government In every state in the union excepting Arisona.
