The present low price of corn and
the enormous quantity which is piled
up in bins and warehouses everywhere
in this country is the most emphatic
evidence that corn can be produced at
a very low cost, and it is plain from
the experience of hundreds Of corn
raisers that there is profit In produc-
Ing corn on a large scale, even at the
present low prices. for many thous-
ands OF farmers have made good liv-
ing and laid some profit by from their
corn lands.
1t is perfectly true that the man
with small farm, devoted exclusively
to corn raising, can get only a very
precarious living out Of corn when the
price is under % cents on the farm.
But even the small farmer can assure
himself Of substantial surplus with
the prospect of a substantial surplus,
lsome years, If he devotcs u part of his
land to raising the products which
he needs for his family, and raises
corn, well cultivated and carefully
cared for. on the rest of it.
1t must not be forgotten that the
present low price of corn is due to two
years of very extraordinary yields, and
though this years crop is moderate,
by comparison with those years, the
surplus in the country. added to what
was produced this year, makes the sup
ply in the country about as large rs
il was ever known to he and tho cnSt
of production of the corn which most
farmers have on hand at the present
time, must be figured on the basis of
large yields, so that, even at present
low prices, the great bulk of the corn
in the country represents good deal
more than what it has cost the farmer
