FARMING ON FACTORY LINES
OR
Continuous Cropping for Large Farmers

BY
T. WIBBERLEY, N.D.A., N.D.D.
(Of Queen's University, Belfast).

Second Edition 6/- net (postage 4d.)

[Illustration: pointing finger] It forms the great authoritative test book on the Wibberley Continuous Cropping System, and is a new and frankly revolutionary guide to ALL-WEATHER Farming and to cheaper Milk, Corn and Beef Production.

"In times past the climate has often conquered the British Farmer, but it has not conquered Wibberley. He has conquered it, turning what otherwise would be adverse climatic conditions to advantage in tilling the land.

"It sounds impossible. It reads like a fairy tale—yet the whole of the scheme of 'Wibberleyism' or 'Continuous Cropping,' 'Farming on Factory Lines'—as the system is variously termed—is in reality beautifully simple. It is so effective that one wonders what our highly paid officials have been thinking about, when they have not hammered out some such a tillage system as Wibberley's years before Wibberley was born."—The Smallholder.

Read all about it in this new and valuable work.

AN ATTRACTIVE NATURE BOOK FOR THE YOUNG.

IN NATURE'S WAYS

"This is a 'White's Selborne' for the young; giving passages from the original under different headings and side by side, some talk about the bird or beast referred to; with plenty of illustrations by Mr. J. A. Shepherd, full of his usual vitality."—Times.

"We think this volume cannot fail to interest and instruct the young."—Field.

"White's 'History of Selborne' is here amplified and explained for young readers. Mr. Woodward has that gift of humour without which all writing on nature is a weariness unto the flesh for young readers, and for many readers who are no longer young. Mr. J. A. Shepherd's illustrations catch the spirit of the letterpress, and are of a piece with the work that has made his reputation as an artist."—Literary World.
