The Western farmer is blamed by
Eastern interests for pulling money out
of circulation to buy automobiles.
Stories have been circulated in the
East to the effect that hundreds of
Western farmers have mortgaged
their farms to buy motor cars, and
they say will this sooner or later bring
financial trouble. Our Eastern finan

It affords recreation for his family
which 1t needs. The average purchas-
er of an automobile buys for pleasure
alone. The farmer buys for both
pleasure and business; he considers it
a profitable investment. and one he
can afford to make. The indications
are that the sales of autos to Western
farmers in the coming twelve months
will be far greater than ever before

THE FIGURES FOR IT.

Here's one example of how they
make farming pay in Kansas. Dan
Griswold has on his farm five miles
northeast of Marysville a three acre
patch of alfalfa from which be cut
eight tons of hay at the first cutting.
The second crop was allowed to go to
seed and the seed harvested was sold
for the neat sum of Sos. From the
third crop he expects to get at least
$40 worth of hay. Summing up the
value of these crops we find that the
first crop brought him $64. the second
sos and the third to be $40 will make
an aggregate cash yield of $212 for the
running close to three-quarters or two
thirds the value of the land.-Smith
