Farmers Use Automobiles.
Commissioner Lane said
we have heard much about Iowa farm
ers buying automobiles Is there large
number Of them, and does that show that
the farmer has prospered?"
Wen, replied Mr. Wallace, Il do not
know how many automobiles are owned
by farmers, but undoubtedly there are a
large number, and the fact does show pros
perity. The farmer has been able to buy
them because he and his boys work to-
gether on the ffarm instead Of hiring labor.
And then. an automobile lie less Of a luxury
to the farmer than to the city man. The
tiller OF the soil, uses It in his business to
advantage"
Witness, for purpose OF Illustration, di-
vided the state Of Iowa into 16O-acre farms
and rented them, the landlord to receive
the usual rent share Of twO-fifths OF the
returns from operation. on this basis in
1907. Mr.. Wallace said that the landlord
would receive q total income Of s12t, $50. 400,
and deducting taxes there is a net income
Of S11O, eo9,o52. He placed the total value
OF the farms at S2,115,s49,O0O making the
landlords income ole per cent in 1907, and
500 per cent in 1905.
Losses of Renters. M
The renter win be loser, according to the
witness, He placed the renters gross in

Guiding equipment, horses. labor etc. at
s25i.i5sOio, showing a loss OF S74lsO,+7O,
on, this basis the average loss on each
farm in 1907 was Ssss, he said: s29O In 1908
and $SO5 ~ 1909.
Discussing Impeachment of the soil,
MT, Wallace said the fertility loss OF isO-
acre farm was 1857 year.
The grain raised and sold IN Iowa Is
actually selling the state piecemea1 and
cannot continue indefinitely" said the witt
ness. The land will be exhausted in time
just as a coal vein Is exhausted"
The exodus of young men from farms
was partly due to their desire to get cheap
lands in other sections OF the country and
to wait for them to increase In value as
their fathers did before them, Mr.. Wallace
said
