LOSSES TO THE LAND.

To Produce Good Results the Drafts ON
the Soil Must BE Made Good.
The money crop on the farm Is that
which is sold az such of the farm, and
the replacement OF the fertilizing in
gradients in which constitute almost
wholly the problem Of recuperative ma
nuring. Every farmer understands
that it is necessary to put something
back on the land" but how to do this
In an economical manner, is the con-
slant study Of hundreds Of the best
technologists in the world. The vast
chemical fertilizer industry grew out
Of this problem. It is an effort to
supply the necessary elements Of fer
tility in, for example, bushel
of wheat at less cost than may
be obtained for the same when sold
in the form Of grain. Suppose, for
the sake OF illustration, that the cost
of producing one bushel of wheat is
fifty cents--labor, rent of land, ma
nure, etc. Suppose its value as feed
stuff Is forty cents. and its fertilizing
elements after such use are worth ten
cents. 1t is then evident that if fed to
stock on the farm and the manure
carefully saved. there VIII be neither
loss nor gain in the operation. But
suppose the elements of fertility, in
the form Of chemicals, may be pur-
chased for fise cents. Then it In evil
dent that the bushcl of wheat may be
sold off the farm, forty cents paid for
it's production, exclusive of manure,
five cents for replacing the necessary
amount Of fertilizer, leaving FIVE cents
profit on the transaction. The whole
problem is simple matter OF buying
in the cheapest market and selling in
the dearest, but the intermediate
stages are so complicated that few
men can clearly follow out the steps.
In many instances the natural stores
of the fertility in the soil have been
such as to permit cropping a long time
without compensation TO the land. but
in the long run such farming methods

MIGHT BE WORSE.

Prices of Farm Products are Low, Hat So
Are Those of Other Things.
We read a great deal in the papers
about present hard times There Is .
class Of politico-agricultural papers
that TEEN with portentious prophecies
Of terrible times, and worse coming
The writer Of this paragraph has re-
Gently interviewed number of farm
ers on this point. and the result does
not confirm the declarations of our
numerous American III Penserasos
Many of them grumble at the low
prices Of farm products. but they are
buying as many comforts, and paying
cash, as they ever did when they
bought on credit, and they get
great deal more for the money.
Only two weeks ago, in Dal.
las, farmer who grumbled freely Of
hard times, received $50 Oh for cash in
purchasing $500 piano. Then what
means the wagon-load after wagon
load of lumber going from town to
country? It certainly means some
thing. Numerous similar instances
can be seen any day in the week, ex-
cept Sunday, and we are impressed
that people suffering great privations
do not do such things II this is hard
times, easy times would make fools OF
some people. The facts of the situa-
ton are about thus: Prices of products
are very low, in some instances below
the cost of production; but the general
system Of farming has so changed that
such crops are not the sole depend
ence.
Farmers have practiced better econ.
omy-and by this we do not mean that
they have been nigaardly in expend-
itures-but they have more correctly
estimated the value OF . dollar. and
have learned how to get more good out
of it than heretofore; they are paying
less interest on borrowed capital; arc
producing more that they would other
wise have to buy; they are reducing
the cost of production by using labor.
saving machines. There are many
farmers who are hard pressed to
make ends meet, and 1t was no
otherwise since the beginning Of
authentic history, and it will
be thus up to the beginning of the mil.
lenium. If our financial system were
not entirely out Of joint. and II
productive labor were treated with
proper consideration by those who
make our laws and dominate every
species Of traffic, we can scarcely con-
ceive of the prosperity that would
reign throughout the southwest. Bad
as it is, it might be a great deal worse;
good as it is, it might be a great deal
better. But in any event, agricultural
prosperity is largely in the hands OF
the farmers themselves, and many Of
them are equal to the occasion-others
are not, and never will be- Farm and

NEW YORK, Sept. 21.-The New York
Financier says:
The statement of the associated banks
of New York city for the week ending
Septem Der 21sJ reflects in part the effect
of the higher money market and the
movement of money abroad and to
the interior. The unusually largo de-
crease of loans So. 456, 000-coming after
a continued expansion. which had in
creased that item from $5O6. l76. 900 on
July 9th to 1922, 69S. 900 ON Ssptem DER
18th, can be accounted for on the theory
that loans made at the prevailing low
rates during that period have been called.
Whether the falling excess reserve, BRING
ing with it higher money rates, will still
further contract the loan account is a
problem. Inc rate for loans during the
week ranged around 2 per cent. The
situation favors higher money market.
The demand form the interior con-
tinued. The decrease In the holdings of
gold reflect deposits made with the sub
treasury or Withdrawals from the banks
for that purpose. and the heavy loss in
legal tenders is belated evidence of the
loss sustained during the previous week
when the heavy movement of gold was
at its height.
The decrease of s13, 21O, 900 in deposits
has not been equalled this year, although
