The Lack OF Intelligence Among
Farmers In Regard TO What Pays
Them Best.
Correspondence Of theN. Y. Tribune.)
A great many Wisconsin farmers, like
those Of other States, fail because they
never know on which crops they are max.
ing q profit, and on which they are losing
money. +, I suppose ! asked at least
dozen farmers In this State how much
bushel or On acre II cost TO raise wheat,
before ! found one who could give me an
intelligent answer. Some thought that 75
cents q bushel would pay, while others
thought there was no money In wheat at
less than 81 q bushel: MI. stillson, whose
farm Of $50 acres adjoins this city, and
who has been one Of the most successful
farmers in the State, keeps careful &C.
count OF every cent that Is expended In the
production Of each Of his crops, and how
much he receives for II. He told me that
10 pay all expenses and per cent inter.
est on the value Of the land takes about
Sl5 an acre. II the crop 10 15 bushels, at
81 q bushel, the farmer makes nothing.
This year, counting the average crop Of IL
bushels per acre, and the price at the farm
at 81, the average profit will be % an
acre. Ordinary years, when the average
crop Is only about ID bushels, unless the
price Is more than 81, there Is no profit,
and 0 part Of the interest on the invest
ment e lost The majority Of the farmers
know nothing about this, but 60 on year
after year raising crops that don't pay,
while there arc others that would bring
them ag good profit. g @
