ONE FARMER DIES
A MILLIONAIRE
Was A Man Who Stuck
to His Job
David Rankin of Missouri Was Born.
Lived and Died on IA Farm.

When David Rankin died recently
at his home III Tarkio. Mo. there
passed away the first of the million
aire farmers. Nor should this be TAX
en- to mean that farming was one OF
several occupations followed by him;
he was born on a farm and died on
the farm and from the day of his
birth until the day of his death he
never knew what it was TO give an
hour, to any other pursuit. Neither
should ii be imagined that he Inherit
ed we'll paying farm which he de
veloped
David Rankins story in brief is
this-he started in poverty. he stuck
to his job, he watched his chances
grew with the times, and died as the
former of the biggest single acreage
in the world And most whole
some, salutary story it is There is
no need to moralize about it or to
run into philosophical language TO
tell of the merits of such a career or
to point out the secret of the mil
lionaire farmers success. 1t tells it
self. This, in effect, is the story OF
the man who stuck TO his job.
In 1925 he WAS born on small
ioi AL oulllFdn Souhlgp
a log house l6 feet square where the
cooking was done on the logs and
the field labor was accomplished with
the primitive instruments with which
the sturdy pioneers conquered the
wilderness and cut the path, which
civilization and culture have followed.
into the west He WIS taught to work
as soon as he was able TO WELD a
ExN.. i
rs luxury and schooling as an in
dulgence granted to boys in the sea-
sons when farm work was impossi-
ole. AT the age of eleven he saw the
last of the school room and settled
down to man S share of the burdens
Of life on the paternal farm. In 1916
he started out for himself with one
OK and one crude plow.
Two years later, while the average
farmer was looking with suspicion
and contempt at the reapers adyer-
tised in the catalogues he bought one
and used it. In another two years hs
felt that he was prosperous enough
to marry so he handed his 81 to the
parson and took helpmate.
For another Is years he simply
farmed on, steadily, surely growing,
watching every chance to improve his
knowledge of farming conditions and
taking advantage of every innovation
that promised better returns Then
he began to be truly wealthy II was
in 1865 that he sold pork in New York
fattened on his own land end shortly
afterwards he cultivated broom corn,
eschewed by all the conservative till
ers of the soil, and made a quarter OF
a million out of it,
Now in recent years Mr. Rankin
farmer extraordinary. he'd cultivated
lust 3C,5t0 acres of Ind of which l9
000 was in corn every year and he
raised about 100000 bushels a year
He bought cattle. which he fattened
in lots running up to 250 carloads at
a time, and besides acquiring vast
fortune he was able to give literally
to various educational institutions

The real reason for this is not so
very hard TO find. Our post office de-
partment is handicapped with a law
fixing the rates for parcels at a fig
ure the traffic will not bear Conse-
quently the cream of the business
goes to the express companies, who
are obliged to cut melons, water
their stock" and practice all the
lodges of high finance to keep their
surplus earnings from piling up too
rapidly. Where parcels post is in op-
GRAFTON the traffic density increases
tremendously, and of course the unit
cost for the service falls to cores
pond.
In the United Kingdom over 70 mil
lion parcels are delivered annually
through the mails. This shows plain
ly how much the system is appreciat
ed and patronized. A good business
man never maintains prices at a pro-
hibitiye point if he wants to increase
his trade and ultimately his profits
also. This is exactly what is done in
this country, or rather what they
have been doing for a long time. Here
is a comparison of the rates of differ
ent countries, taking u ounces to the
pound:
