LUXUR|ES ON FARM
Telephones and Buggies Are
Now Common Necessities.
SOME ARE BUYING AUTOS
Dean of Agricultural School Tells
Why Cost of Living Has
Gone Up.

More testimony regarding the luxuries
which the farmers of the west are indulg-
ing in was given this morning before the
Senate committee which is investigating
the increased cost of the necessaries of
life. The witness was John H. Shep-
perd, dean of an agricultural college at
Fargo, n. d.
The farmer in North Dakota. the wit
ness said, who does not have tele-
phone is ostracized. The rural telephone
lines have been extended all over the
agricultural sections of the state and they
are regarded as essential in the farm
house in the city residence.
Every farmer must have a buggy,
too," continued the witness.
"Or an auto" commented Senator Cal
linger.
Few of them have autos yet" replied
Mr.. Shepperd.
Adds Fifty Cents an Acre.
Il have made a rough estimate as to
how much this higher standard of living
amounts to- he continued. land have
placed it at 80 cents an acre 1t adds
that much to the cost of production per
acre
Further questioning by the committee
led the witness to say that the rural mail
delivery system has caused the farmer to
write more letters; and he is paying out
more money for postage and for letter
paper.
The witness startled the democrats
when he testified that aricultural imple-
ments were % per cent higher in Canada
than in the United States. During the
early part of the inquiry the democratic
members of the committee referred fire.
quently to the harvester trust and the
tariff and asked many questions about the
increase in the cost of farming imple-
mentS and machinery.
The increase does not seem to be
very much" remarked Senator CALM
ger, scanning table Of prices which
the witness produced. I'VE listened to
a speech in the Senate not long ago,
in which it was claimed there was an
enormous increase in the cost Of farm
implements.
You should compare the prices in
the United States and across the border
in Canada" suggested a democrat.
Cost More in Canada.
Agricultural implements are % per
cent higher in Canada than in North
Dakota" remarked the witness.
Higher" exclaimed the democrat
you mean to say the same implement
costs rs per cent more in Canada than
in the United States?" The reply was
in the affirmative.
You must have been reading some
stand-pat literature commented Senator
Clarke of Arkansas.
Dean Shepperd told the committee that
dollar wheat today is worth no more to
the farmer than eighty-cent wheat ten
years ago. There has been an increase
of $50 per cent in the price of land, he
said, while its producing capacity has
been reduced 20 per cent in the same
period. There has been an increase of
10 per cent in the cost of farming inn
plements and an increase of 60 per cent
in wages.
The witness also asserted that with the
increase of wages paid to farm help has
come a decrease in efficiency. There has
been a scarcity of farm labor, he ex-
planned, and the hired help are more in
dependent than formerly.
