something beside that. It is
learning to grow some of the crops
that will be important in our new
future •
For example, a good many far-
mers have learned that soy-beans
and peanuts are much more valu-
able and important crops than they
were once considered. For they
supply some of the vegetable oils we
formerly imported from tropical
lands. Would they grow on your
farm, and be profitable crops for
you to raise ?
There is one way to find out—try
it. Your test plot may be just a lit-
tle corner of the garden, tended at
odd times. Yet it may show you the
way to future success.

a terrific time getting rid of wild
mustard. In spite of everything he
did, the wild mustard came up,
year after year He thought it over
and finally said to himself, “All
right —my farm seems to be espe-
cially suited to growing mustard.
I’ll just grow mustard."
And now he makes many times
more money selling mustard seed
than he ever made with the tiadi-
Honally popular crops of his area!
»* Another possibility. We know
that for a long time to come, we
are not going to get rubber from
the East Indies. Perhaps we can't
grow rubber trees in our country,
but there are other plants that pro-
duce rubber. We may have to de-
pend upon some of them. Who
knows perhaps some of them
could be grown on your farm!
If you want to start a home ex-
periment station, and do your part
in agricultural research, here is a
suggestion.
Write to your State Agricultural
Department, or to the Federal De-
partment at Washington. Make this
one simple request "Tell me about
NEW crops that might be raised in
tny locality, so that I can try some
of them."
That will permit you to become
familiar with some of the impor-
tant experimental work that is al-
ready being done.
Or, discuss the matter with your
own County Agent. He will help you
get information on the subject, to
serve as a basis for your own ex-
periments.
You may find that your own
"mustard crop” of nuisance weeds
will some day turn into a brand
new source of cash income, and be-
come an important contribution tc
an expanding agriculture.
