The consumer hts always feared
that the producer would not supply |
him and his fright has found expres-

cultivation. Of this amount there is
approximately 750,000,000 acres on the
western and 1,260.000.000 acres on the
eastern hemisphere, in cultivation

I^ARM AND RANCH is the farmer's right-hand man—whether farm-

relating to better crops, improved condition of live stock—deals with and
solves many of the vexing problems with which the farmer is confronted.
Its splendid articles dealing with the various phases of agriculture—its
' Questions and Answers Department," and its department called "Siftings"
are edited by experts on the subjects, and the opinions expressed and the
advice given may be relied upon as authentic.
