He withholds his name and address because he has not the time to answer an ava- lanche of letters The “back to the s stuff of the past 10 years has been misleading.

This story is different. This man, who is a REAL MAN, studied soil and stock and farming on an acre for two years before making the BIG LEAP. He does not ramble all over farmdom. He tells how he did it, how he won out, in consecutive “STEPS.” t BY W. M.
