SOME FIGURES.

We have often wondered if there il
. single man in Dodge City, aside from
buyers of grain, who ever give one
thought as to the effect of a very small
increase or decrease in the price of ag-
rioultural products. Many of our
merchants little realize how the price
Of these products effects the ability of
large portion Of tl.eir customers to
buy. The following figures ought to
prove interesting to the merchant as
we'll as the farmer.
According to the best reports OBJ
tainable, Ford county had sown to
wheat this year 10000 acres. 1t is
estimated that this crop averaged very
near 5 bushels per acre; but for con-
verience and not to overdraw figures
We will assume it to be 10 bushels per
acre. On this uasis the total number
Of bushels Of wheat raised in Ford
county would be 200, 900. This pro-
duct At to days market price, 60 cts.
per busheI, would bring into Ford coun-
ty sl20,000. Now. don't think that
this amount is net profit to the farmer.
So far from being that, it probably cost
them $50, 600 to produce this grain, or
At any rate, those Who are best inform
ed claim that the average cost Of pro-
duciug . bushel of wheat for the past
ten years has been just about 40 cents.
This being SO, there is . net profit to
the producers of $40, 900. But let MS
say, for instance, that this wheat
beolght the Insignificant sum, - the
average person looks At it, of 5 cents
more ON the bushel, or IS cents per
bsshel. This increase in the price Of
5 esets per bsshsl voald nsss Just 90,

It is hard to think Of anything more
barren, more destitute of fertility, than
sea-sand. In connection with some
studies of the chemistry of vegetable
production in the laboratory Of Wes-
leyan university we have been growing
plants in Just such sand, brought from
the shore of Long Island sound. To
divest it Of every possible trace of ma.
terial which the plants might use for
food except the sand itself, It was
carefully washed with water and then
heated. The young man who pro-
pared the sand for use, in his zeal to
burn out the last vestigcs Of extraneOus
matter. heated the iron pots In which
it was calcined so hot that they almost
melted. The sand was put into glass
jars. water was added, and minute
quantities of chemical salts, which
plants take from the soil, were dis
solved in it. In the sand thus watered
and fertilized dwarf-pess were grown.
