CROPS AND VALUES.
In past issues the News has discussed
land valves, possible and probable, in
the future. 1t is well known to OBJ
servers that lands will be capitalized
on their net earning power. 1t is the
case in the older states now. 1t is
question of what amount per acre the
net earnings will pay interest upon.
A very little difference in the earning
power solves the question of value.
Hence it is that such questions as
freights are very important, they af-
feet the net earning power. AS we
have shown, upon the whole returns
Wisconsin leads the states of the north
west in net returns per acre. This is
to the homeseeker and in
weston, and when added to the fact
that this condition prevails in an old
and developed state, ought to decide
the issue.

lance besides. But lately when the
tidal wave went back again, then our
friends were kind of swallowed up again
and carried back to the farm. Yes,
that's the place; the independent place
after all; the awful bills and expenses
have ceased coming in, and the income
IS IN thousand parts now, instead of the
debt. Yes, the man, the wife, the
children, the hired man, all are earning
something all the time. Some goes into
the granary, some into the cellar, some
into the garrett, some into the pantry,
some on the table good to eat and drink,
some goes to the butcher, some to the
grocery, some to the city family home,
some to the elevator, some to the livery
barn, and some everywhere. And the
balance into the bank and applied on
the rainy day account.
But still there are few who are not
so fortunate, who are struggling against
a hopeless faith, who have to struggle
from early to late, who have to work
for themselves, their families and that
of their neighbor both at one and the
same time. And that is the farm rent

He is out in mid stream, but the UNI
dercurrent of shares and rents and
seed expenses keeps him whirling,
Whirling until he does not know where
he is at; he is dizzy, confused; he does
not see there is shore on two sides of
him. No, he goes right on in his plight,
propping up the other mans fences,
trimming the hedges, patching up the
old buildings, so the cows won't fall
through the walls, still hoping TO own
a farm some day of his own.
Well, poor fellow, he does not know
any better. It's hopeless case unless,
we rescue him. And that we must do.
Let us roll up before him the panorama
of the new country, outside the crowd
ed rural districts. And then show him
the endless possibilities toward success.
How easy and simple; he can select his
own farm, pay for it, improve it to the
heights of ambition, raise bumper crops
on it year after year, and keep all tae
crop himself, how every stroke OF work
done all counts for himself and his dear
ones Yes, what d glorious revelation
this will be to him. Before he paid 5 or
6 or Z dollars per acre for the privilege
or working on another mans acres, and
fixing the fences on and around them.
And here in the northwest he can get
the whole business, land, crops, privi-
leges and the whole thing for nearly
the same price, and never pay but once.
And can live on it, sleep on it, and when
he gets tired of it, he can divide it up.
