Causes of the Advance.

Owing to the high price of most
food products, Secretary Wilson, Of
the United States Department Of Ag-
rtculture, has started an investiga-
ton to determine the cause OF the
Increase In the cost Of living and as
certaining whether the farmer, the

NO MONEY IN AVERAGE CROPS.
Good Ones are the Only Kind that
Are Worth Making.

There Is nc money In making av-
erage crops. The cost Of such crop
Is generally little more than the
sum for which they SELL In making
yields below the average there Is a
loss. the burden Of which becomes
heavier as the yield goes lower and
as the loss is carried year, after year,
according to the Farmers Union
Sun. AS the yield goes above the
average there begins to be profit
left to the producer. The magnitude
of the profit Increases much more
rapidly than does the yield. 1t was
figured by farmer some time since
that 1t cost eight dollars All acre to
make a crop Of corn that yielded
T urteen bushels, and that when the
crop sold for 81 cents per bushel
there was an actual loss Of two cents
per acre. When the selling price per
bushel and the crop remained as
above, but the yield goes to fifteen
bushels there was profit Of IS
cents; but when the yield went up
to twenty bushels the profit on the
crop became $3.40 per acre, or a lit
tie more than seven times as great as
with fifteen bushel yield. In other
words, an increase of 33 1-3 per cent
In yield made a gain of 700 per cent
in profit.
tn
crops, but 1t does pay to make yields
In excess Of the average. The greater
this excess the larger the profit 1t
may be true that to double the av-
erage yield will require some increase
In cost Of preparation of the soil,
fertilization and cultivation, but
when measured by the value of the
greater yield the additional cost be-
comes insignificant
The son Of the farmer who calcu-
lated that 1t cost eight dollars to
make crop OF corn yielding four
teen bushels per acre spent $22 In
preparing the land, in buying ferti-
lizers, and in planting and cultivat-
ing an acre, which gave a yield of
more than 100 bushels. The larger
yield being Of a much better quality,
more than one-half of 1t will in all
probability be in demand for seed at
50 per bushel. That boy found that
the profit increases much faster than
the yield.
