FARMER SHOULD FIGURE COST
Only Practical Way of Telling Which
Are the Best Paying Crops for
the Farm.

A story is told of a lawyer who was
employed by a railroad company on
account of his shrewdness to secure
the right of way through a certain
part of Texas. With most of the
farmers this lawyer had no trouble
in securing the right of way through
their lands. many of them giving 1t
without any compensation. But there
were a few farmers who would get
out pencil and go to figuring. They
figured that the land would be worth
as much, or more, to the railroad com.
pany as it was to them. And those
farmers always received a good price
for the land they relinquished for the
right of way. The lawyer remarked
that whenever he saw a farmer take
out a pencil and go to figuring that
he would have to pay that man full
value of his land, and he called them
"fgurin farmers" There is a good
substantial moral to this little story.
Every farmer ought to be a "figurin'
farmer" He ought to figure on what
it costs him to raise the different
crops, and what he receives for them.
1t is the only way he can tell which
are the best paying crops for his
farm. He should keep book for this
purpose. 1t will only require a very
small amount of time each day to
keep these accounts and II will be
time most profitably employed.

The next need is railway transporta-

Use of Manure.

The Maryland experimental station
shows by repeated tests that fresh ma
nure spread in winter did not give as
much increase as the same amount

Turning the manure while rotting was
better than leaving 1t without being
turned Commercial fertilizers plowed
under in the spring invariably gave
larger yields than when sowed on the
surface just before planting.

Browne said it would be a reflection
upon the city's dignity to continue to
