Overview

Excerpt from Money-Making Corn It is indeed a far cry from the days of 1621 when a few acres of corn brought life and thanksgiving to the Pilgrims at Plymouth, to the present time when a single year's corn crop has a farm value approaching two billions of dollars. Over twenty-one years ago Sir William Crooks called attention to the alarming prospect of a great shortage in the world's supply of wheat. Some of our own economists now tell us that if our population continues to increase in the same ratio that it has during the recent past, fifty years hence this country will not produce food stuffs sufficient to feed its people. These investigators have apparently overlooked several important factors, chief among which are the wonderful possibilities of the corn crop, the intelligence and ability of American farmers, and the increasing assistance to agriculture that will be given by High Grade Commercial Fertilizers. This booklet is intended for practical farmers who are growing corn. Much of the work described in it is undoubtedly very familiar to you; but a careful reading may give you some helpful hints that will save you money in the future.
