The following suggestion from the
Montevideo Leader is pat" to the
season and the subject of crops: Profits
must always be based upon the cost, and
if the present wheat crop IS raised at
a cost of more than two thirds the aver
age cost, then there will be an average
profit in it. If sold at two-thirds the
average price. and corresponding profits
If sold for more. We do not expect to
see high prices prevail for breadstuffs IN
future or without the present ability to
produce in large quantities and at low
cost. The farmers are to get rich, if
they do. by close figuring on the cost
of what they raise and by making their
acres and their herds do their very best.
Small margins of profit must take the
place of large profits, and diversified as-
rlculture the place of a single line of
farming. To live more economically as
well as more comfortably by producing
| what is consumed and to reduce the cost
of raising aud marketing our products,
is the vital question.
