The COSTS
Farmers Of the Country are Fisur,
ing over Value of Products
Marketed.

This is the season of the year. SAYS
the Wall Street Journal. when. re-
lieved of ourdoor labors. the farmers
Of the country are figuring over their
accounts and counting the costs of
the products which they have
marketed or have vet to market.
The total return. most of which
is represented in sales to the general
market, exceeds $50, 900, 900. 900, and
represents a Capitalization Of pro-
badly 1925. 600. 600. 900.
Although there is much that is in
efficient in the use OF capital and
labor in American farming. the in
dustry has in it the beginnings of
great change. One respect in which
this is true is that of the farmers
capacity to judge of the commercial
value of what farmers buy as we'll as
of what thev grow. In fact the
great gain which American farming
has made within the past decade is
that of more. perfect adjustment to
the market.
But not onlv are our farmers better
sellers and buyers than they former
" were. They are also better
equipped mentally and scientifically
for the pursuit of their occupation.
They know how to face adverse con-
ditions. the appearance of pests or
the occurrence Of droughts. and are
learning the methods of soil treat
ment incident to climatic changes.
They have more fully learned the
secret Of selecting seeds. of breeding
plants and animals. and of discover
Ing by experiment. the kind of plant
and animal that does best under
local conditions.
These things all contribute to an
assurance that American farming is
definitely improving. and that the
financial world which relies on the
prosperity OF that branch of enter
prise need not be anxious about the
future Of 1t In country of such
enormous scope and unexhausted
possibilities as the United States.
In thus counting the costs OF pro-
duction the American farmer is
putting his business on a scientific
basis. and in due time the rest of
the world will hear still more favor
ably of him as this system of
MANAGEMENT makes it's way into our
agriculture.

Look out for Seed Agents.

We are informed by good authority
that agents are travelling thru the
county. taking orders for seed corn,
clover and timothy seed and other
grain. These agents claim that the
seed they sell is raised in the state.
but upon investigation it has been
found that the seed is of very in
ferior grade and raised in Iowa and
ILL.,. most of it In Ill. The price on
their seed is higher than what you
can get it from your local merchants
here. We understand that these
agents have already placed several
orders in this county. 1t would be
we'll for the farmers to Investigate
before making manv purchases from
these agents, especially when it
comes to buying clover and timothy
seed. The merchants here who
handle foreign seed such Us clover,
timothy and corn guarantee the seed
which outside parties viii not do.
And when it comes to prices our
local merchants can sell you clover
seed A No. l. and dollar per bushel
cheaper. You can not afford to lose
money and time by getting an in
ferior quality of seed. whatever kind
1t may be. Better take time to in
vestigate matters before signing
agreements. -Hallock News.
