WHY DoNT FARMING PAY2

what ON age this Ia for fool questions,
and the funny part Of II ID thatthose who
ask them do It with such an air Of superb
6rity, as iftheir asking questson settled
Tie matter forever. knew learned
Judge once who settled the land question
by asking; Suppose you do away with
private ownership Of land and thus stop
buying aud selling land, won't you make
II impossible TO iixa valuation for pur-
poses Of taxation?" lie didn't wait for
an answer; these askers Of fool questions
never do, They don't want answers;
they merely want to demonstrate their
own cleverness by asking them. They
don't want them answered. The wise
fellows belong TO the class who used
to dispose Of the theory Of the diurnal
motion Of the earth by asking why the
water did't pour out Of the wells and
the people fall ont Of their beds when the
earth turned 'tother side up. The askers
Di fool questions never die out, though
they are not by any means the ilttest they

the askers Of fool questions have been
eo-existent with them.
But / don't intend anything in the way
Of dissertation upon fool questions in
general There are few fool questions,
however, which the readers ofthe JoUR-
NAL may be Interested in. Here's one,
for example, Why don't farming payY
But surely that's mo- fool question, you
may say. Isn't the farming interest the
most important Of all? Are there not
more people dependent upon IL directly
for their living than upon any other, and
Is not everybody dependent upon iteither
directly or indirectly? Isut It true that
unless the farmers are prosperous there
can be no real prosperity for any one
elseY Are not the farmers at once the
producers whosupply every one and the
consumers Of every ones productions2
Isn't it all importOttt then that farming
should pay? And If 80, surely it is no
7 dl QUESTION to ask why farming does
ot pay.
Yes, il Is one of the most stupid of all
fool questions, and for the reason that
farming does pay; pays better than any
other business; pays as w9ll as all other
businesses combined. Oh, yes, | know,
farmers don't get rich as rule; they
barely make both ends meet year in and
year OUT If one, especially favorably
cltcunstanced, manages to lay by n little

be sure, but as rule they managed to
