Knrl H. Fry, land expert for the

Ho spoke from personal experi

"In Holland the man who owns a

considered a big former. A Holland
farmer on three ncres makes more
money and raises more crops than
the average American farmer does

In this country we breed thorough

and other llvestork by selection and

to the selection of crops and the seed.
