What does it cost to grow . bnshel

Dear Girl wish to call especial
attention to the enclosed circular let
ter, because of the urgency Of the
need that is facing the state. a
shortage of labor will cost the farm
ers of North Dakota an amount net
to be measured altogether in increased
wages, but the slovenly work that
comes from hurrying, the long
drawn out season where men 60 short
handed, the lessened acreage Of ear

ed with.
y want at this time to SAT- word
regarding our plans fH the year to
come. A year ago we started In
with So papers in the state printing
the college news notes. At the pres
ont time there are 1873 state papers
printing our matter from time to
time, rs Of the leading agricultural
papers in the northwest and Of the
leading dailies also receive matter
as occasion calls for it.
This growth has not come sudden
~, now without serious thot on our
part. We have aimed to give you
practical matter, and have tried as
time went by to put that matter in
to such shape that you could use
much or little, Of It as your space

more immediate concern Is to make

John Anderson has a pretty good
work record. Some Of the weekly re-
ports show a little better, some Of
them not nearly so we'll. How does
this weeks record of work compare
with yours for the same date? His
business deals are set down in man
ner such that they can easily be
totaled, and he can find out at any
time what his expenses are up to
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1909-07-22

date, reckoning from the hrst OF the
year. He can find out too. with
very little effort, Just how many days
work he puts on each held, and after
harvest he can reckon up the time
spent in producing each crop.
You notice that he gives bis fields
each q letter as name; that he has
q separate column for every item and
every piece OF work. It is safe to
say that after he has followed this
plan Of keeping track Of his expens-
lee for q couple Of years he will know
pretty closely just what lines Of
farming are giving him the returns.
and what lines are being followed at
. loss.
So much for John Anderson. Now
the Agricultural College takes bis
weeks record and dles It away to-
gether with those that come IN from
the others cooperating with the in
stttution. After Professor Doneshus
has the results Of the seasons work
before him, he takes the whole mass
of data, and out Of It he can work
fairly accurate results % to cost OF
living on the farm, length Of the
working day, and the cost Of pro-
auction for any given crop.
Naturally the wider this investigs-
ton reaches the greater will be the
accuracy Of its results. A thousand
men reporting will give closer aver
ages than hundred. Prof. Done
sbue wants to got into r touch with
men. all over the state-men who are
willing to keep such records for their
own use, and to send COPY Of them
to him It the Agricultural College
weekly during the year.
One man suggested that It should
be worth At least $50 q week to DO
this work. It IL, and he ought to
have been one of the first to have seen
that fact. A good record for even one
week will be something for man to
live UP to in the weeks that follow.
Keeping It from day to day will be
cash in his pocket.
Professor Doneghue wants at least
one thousand men, from every part
Of the state of North Dakota, to help
him in this work of determining the
cost Of crop production in this state.
He will furnish blanks for the re-
ports, and the necessary postage.
This is . work than no man can
do by himself. It Is a work that can
be done by cooperation such as 10
now going on between the +Agricultur-
al College and the farmers of the
state. You can help a little; possibly
you may be able to help great deal.
The cost of production is a matter
of vital concern to the farmer. Prob
ably the estimate of the American So
ciety Of Equity is not far from correct
in the matter of the cost OF produc-
ing q bushel of wheat. The automo-

Asylum and County Home yesterday
where they inspected the old and new
buildings and other property They
were all very much pleased with the
manner in which Supt. Perkins con-
ducts the farm and asylum, and the
systemized work as done around the
premises was a surprise to those mem
