RAISING CORN:

Some Figures Showing the Actual Cost OF
the Crop.
Doubtless many of our readers have
noticed, in some of the many papers in
which it has appeared, an article pur-
porting to give the actual cost of grow
ing corn Gin '96) in which it is stated
that six cents per bushel represents the
actual cost to the farmer, and, further,
that it can be profitably grown to sell
at very much less than three times
that figure, or Is cents per bushel.
There is small need of argument up
on the question of growing corn for
six cents per bushel, for our farmer
readers know that. taking one year
with another, it can not be done by any
method yet devised. They also know
that the average farmer can not afford
to sell corn at Is cents per bushel. We
have recently interviewed large num-
Der of growers in sections where we
are certain that corn is grown some
what cheaper that an average of the
corn belt, and the consensus of opin-
ion is that the farmer should receive
at least 25 cents per bushel delivered.
In order to make any money raising
corn for the market and that there is
very little in it at less figure. even
where conditions are favorable to low
cost. or course where listing" is fol-
lowed, the cost is lowered there by, but
this does not represent the average by
any means, neither do the results OBJ
tanned by any method in a single IA
vorable season.
A year or two ago, in one of our
prairie corn states, where both plow-
ing and listing are practiced, the state
board OF agriculture investigated this
subject with a view to getting as close
as possible to the average cost De-
tailed information obtained from 0S
growers showed. condensed, the follow
ing cost of producing al acre of corn
by the listing method. the yield being
recloned at 40 bushels per acre:

BY the usual method of .plowing and
planting with check rover, the cost
was found to be 10 cents per bushel.
No allowance is made in either case
for the value of the cornstalks; but
neither is there for the item of she'll
ing and marketing the grain, the one
being left to offset the other
The above figures are supposed to
represent to bare cost of growing corn
on fertile prairie soil easily titled, in an
average year. Taking the corn states
over. the expense would necessarily
mount considerably higher. The fact
OF the business is the cost of growing
corn, or any crop. varies greatly with
different seasons and localities. Farm
ers are not supposed to engage in the
business of raising corn wholly for
their health, and whenever they are
obliged to dispose of their products .'at
cost" then the entire country sees hard
times Epitomist.
