In discussing and Judging the action
of President Taft in the summary dis
missal of Mr.. .Pinchot as chief forester it,
is we'll to distinguish between the actual
cause of the dismissal and the differ
ences between Messrs. Pinchot and Bal
linger. While the cause of dismissal was
result of those differences, the dismiss
sal was caused by disregard of estab-
lished rules of the government, and was
practically a defiance of the authority of
the President. Having due respect for
himself and his Office, Mr.. Taft had no
alternative, and it was Mr.. Pinchot who
deliberately placed himself in that po-
sition.

BE RECEPTIVE.

There is class of people who n. en-.
tally are like the hedgehog which, when
approached by something strange imme-
diately rolls himself into ball with his
spines projecting IN all directions. You
can find these people in every town.
Anything new in the nature of progress
rolls them into mental ball with their
quills a-bristling. They will not even
consider, they have long ago made ur
their minds that the old town was bound
for the demnition bow-wows, SO what's
the use.
Now everything new is not necessarily
nice or feasible. But some things are. It
makes great difference in the progress
of town whether the peop'e in it are in
receptive state or composed of human
hedgehogs The year 1910 and the few
years after may mean great deal for old
Pembina city and county. Some rail
roads are pointed this way, the prices OF
grain are encouraging to the farmer and
to prospective immigration. Are we
ready to receive, or will we sknock" at
possibilities which might become proba:
bilities if we are ready to encourage.
Be sanguine and not sanguinary. Help
to make life instead of being mental
murderer of men who attempt to make
things more lively. In the bran new
town everybody is living and lifting; in
the old towns many seem to simulate
death in hedgehog fashion. And yet the
old town has practically every oppor.
'tunity that the new town has if its citi
zens would look after the opportunities
in the same way.

Wheat crops have been raised in this
valley this year that paid $40 or more an
acre over and above the cost of prepar-
ing the ground, seeding, cutting and
threshing, but there have been vastly
more crops raised that barely paid these
expenses. The principal factor, though
not mentioned above, is the man behind
the plow. AS in every other business,
method and manner make all the differ
ence between success and failure, other
things being equal.
The actual labor cost of putting in
and placing in shock of an acre of wheat
approximates IS; to this must be added
the price of twine and the threshing
bill. This means good wages to the per-
son hired to do it, Or the farmer who
puts it in, both for himself and horses
tor the number of days work employed
in the specific work.
But it is quite evident that if the
farmer, or man hired, did nothing else
than cultivate that one acre of whea
that he would be big loser at the end
of the year, because one acre of wheat at
any price posi- BILE would not support him
and feed his horses for the time.
Thus in the general roundup of the
years work there might be loss even at
Sl.25 per bushel on thirty bushel crop,
unless the farmer has figured to keep
himself, hired men and teams busy
working at the same wages for the whole
season.
On the other hand, another man
might try and spread himself and four
or five old plugs over several hundred
acres and work hard to get five or ten
bushel crop-as he is most likely to do
in such case-with a corresponding
cost to him of more than dollar a
bushel.
In our opinion the price set by the
Equity Society people of 1925 per .bushel
makes pretty good price for the good
farmer, and that almost any possible
price would still find many farmers
losers.
Our friends 's'down east" however,
must not forget that while Ghey are re-
ceiving dividends on their watered stock
that the farmer finds it necessary to
water his stock k.also-sometimes twice a
day-and in winter especially it is a
cold disagreeable .job-and he wants his
pay for that work in the winter as we'll
as for his work in the summer; or, in
plalner terms, while the farmer does
raise his crop of wheat in about four
months time, he is really spending
whole year at lt-in time, though not IN
labor, and be must eat, drink and wear
during that time. II one figures that it
takes twelve months to raise the hnshel
of wheat it makes the cost price conaid-
erably more, hut the figures given by the
Sun are correct only when the actual
time spent in the field is counted.

THE COST PRICE OF WHEAT
From the Society of Equity

The great daily papers in the east do
not seem to be able to comprehend the
position of the farmer in tre body poll
tic, nor do they understand the diff
,culties of farm life. The cost of pro.
duction of wheat and other things raised
ON the farm is underestimated. So that
to the average man in the east the
wheat grower IS looked upon as an aris-
tocrat, a man of great wealth, living in
LUXURY.
The New York Sun in it's issue of De-
cember l2 publishes an editorial Pre-
datOry Farmers" excepts from which
contain information likely to be of in
formation to North Dakota wheat grow
ers. s;Giving proper weight to the mat
ter OF natural resources, it isvery doubt.
full If Is cents gallon or even ~ cents q
gallon for kerosene, or S23 a ton for steel
rails is a greater social ofense or q
greater economic wrong than is the
price of R1.25 bushel for wheat. Com
petent authorities give $50 an acre as
the average cost of rent and production
for continuous wheat cropping. Meas
ured by the average yield that would
mean q little less than 55cents hushel. I"
No douht that the figures Of cost as
quoted will be news to the vast majority
OF farmers in this state. Should the
farmer 6gure his cost of production, IN
the same manner as the management Of
the Sun does theirs, be would find that
it costs him one dollar the bushel. The
United Grain Growers Association has
made most exhaustive study Of the
cost of raising wheat and other grains
and finds that the average cost of pro
ducing wheat in North Dakota to be IS
cents.
James ]. Hill i quoted as saying that
the farmers Of the northwest must get q
dollar . bushel for their wheat. Senator
McCumber states that the farmer, in or
der to get fair return for his invest
ment must receive e1.25 . bushel. These
views do not meet with favor in the
east.
Mr.. Hill e declared to be ip his dotage
and Mr.. McCumber Is said to be infu-
enced by the demands Of . lot Of igno-
rant farmers.
To quote from the Sun: ssThe robber-
les Of these producers may be less di-
rect than those achieved by industrial
corporations, but they are perhaps quite
as effective. II our money Is taken from
usslt matters little whether it is taken
directly, by scientific or unscientific

country with profit for years. Will the
people here continue to furnish them

Good Time TO Turn Farmer.

In theory there never was a better
time than right now for a sensible
man to move from city to country.
The movement has been away from
the farm until prices Of all kinds of
food and fiber are high. There is
nothing in sight to indicate that
prices will be greatly reduced by in
creased production. A crop well
grown and handled with good business
judgment will be reasonably sure of
sale at fair price. There never was
a time when 1t was so easy to learn
new methods and the principles of
scientific farming. A man starting
now may receive at once the benefit
Of 80 years of the experience and
study of good farmers and scientific
experts. For example millions OF
acres of land in the eastern states are
almost nonproductive and thrown on
the market at low figure, simply be-
cause they are waterlogged and sour.
When these farms are drained and
lined they become at once productive
and double in value for farm purposes.
They are naturally strong and drain
age and lime make their strength
available.-H. W. COllingwood, In
Metropolitan Magazine.
