Even this shows an apparent profit
of S291.64 from the crop, which is
something nobody could find fault with
and which needs further exploitation.
That exploitation is found in the fact
that 1908 happened to be, in this farm
er's particular location, a phenomenally
favorable year for oats, and that his
crop was, for the locality, something
very unusual. The average production
in that vicinity is not over 80 bushels
of grain to the acre and little over half
the straw he cut With an average
crop, therefore such as an average
farmer in that particular neighborhood
might expect, the ten acres would have
yielded about five tons OF straw and 300
bushels OF oats. worth, at present high
prices, $3.50. The cost OF threshing this
crop would have been SO instead of
S24, and the cost of hauling the smaller
product would have been about $2S in
stead Of s56, thus reducing the cost of
the crop from $27S.36 to $235.36. That
is, Instead of a phenomenal and almost
unprecedented crop showing profit of
$474 or even of $z91.64. an average and
to-be- expected crop would show a net
loss OF over SIS. This leaves entirely out
of reckoning the grass seed with which
1t is to be assumed that he stocked
down" the piece, which must have cost
him, at last years prices, over $40.
As matter Of cold fact, he did make
almost $500 last year off that ten acre
field I'm glad he did: glad he's cot
something ahead from 1t, wherewith to
pay the losses of past years and the
probable losses Of years to come It's
the occasional year when a bumper
crop and high prices bring in a good
rofit which makes It possible to carry
on through the bad years when poor
/ object to is the careless omission
from the reckoning of large part of
the real cost; and, still more, to the
Haunting Of an exceptional success be-
fore the eyes Of the inexperienced and
credulous. as IL 1t were the regular
thing.

the committee securing information
from both men that proved of more
than passing interest. ClVa examina-
hon of Mr.. Cook elected the fact that
his statement of campaign expenses
iled with the secretary of state Sept.
20 was far from complete. He read
from other statements figuas show
Ing that since filing that statement he
had expended something more than

Mr.. Cook added that he depended
apon his campaign manager, w. G..
Cowling Of Oshkosh, to file a supple
mentary statement covering the en-
tire total expense.
During the examination Mr. Cook
said he thought that twice 100000
could be spent legitimately in a SEN
atorial campaign and believed that
the candidate receiving a clean plural
ty was entitled to election. Neal
Brown, the Wausau lawyer and Demo-
