WHY IS A LOAF OF BREAD?

Uncle Sam is trying to find just how much it real
ly costs to grow bushel of wheat Then he is going
find how many loaves of bread equal blshe of wheat
'margn of profit" is grabbed off by the mddeman and
how much goes for transportation and similar incl
dentals.
Several hundred thousand circulars have been by
the department of agriculture to farmers in the northwest
asking them how much they pay for Seed how much for
fertilizer, how much for preparing the ground, and all the
steps in the process Of getting the bshe of wheat
ket
The last inquiry of this sort that made brought
some interesting returns. Here is the way it figured out
For the farmer reported spending Land rent
$751; manure $216 preparing the ground $1.87; seed,
$685. sowing, $O.37; harvesting $l9 thrashng 81 90;
housing, $685. marketing, $O.76 Total $1169. Average
yield per acre, 13 bushels.
According to these figures there little or no mar
gin of profit for the farmer The price Of wheat at the
farm nearest market at the time the inquiry made
about 90 cents blshe In other words he received
about $12.0S for what cost him to raise 169
The figures have been criticised. Some point out that
$2S1 too much to charge for rent especially
many farmers their farms. Also most wheat growers
in the land of the northwest fertilizer and
charge So an for this item said to be excessive
The price is based the price received the
market which is usually branch elevator located on the
railroad the farm. The rs cents for marketing is
supposed to cover the teaming to this elevator
The average price for wheat in May 1908 at the
ket nearest the farm reported to the department as 80
cents.
