COST OF CORN GROWING.

(Cor. ~Statesville Landmark.)

N1Oi. StdleSNlll6 LdllulfldIh.t
In have calculated the cost of grow
ing corn Oh IS demonstrations on the
following basis: Breaking land. $3.50
per acre; narrowing, 81; planting,
10 cents: cultivating. IS; harvesting,
So per hundred bushels. Ian rent,
or interest on investment, One-tenth
as many dollars as bushels of corn
per acre. Commercial fertilizer at
cost; stable 81 per load, and
stover at So per TOT estimating two
and q half tons to the hundred BUSH
els of corn.
The average yield was 45.6 bushels
per acre and the average cost was
1916 cents per bushel. For conye-
nfence, we will say "a cents. This
makes our average cost s10.94, or With
the stover added, $1,000.
Estimating the yield on the same
rumber Of acres, cultivated by the or
binary methods, L find the average to
be 14.7 bushels per acre and - 2
cost Of ~ cents per bushe1, or a total
added 1884. The small moun Of
stover makes the cos of harvesting
smaller.
The contrast will be more apparent
if We take another view. Let US take
ten acres of each and make a COM
parison. At 1915 bushels per acre, ten
acres will produce 456 bushels, and if
it costs "a cents per bnshel to raise it.
the cost will be S109.44. If this corn
should be sold for so cents per bushel,
il would be worth S364.S0. Subtract
the cost and we have a profit Of
$225.36.
Taking the average of 14.7, we find
that ten acres will produce lat bush
els. cost 5000 and at 80 cents per
bushel would be worth $117.60. Sub
tracing the cost we have a profit OF
S4S.51.
Which is the more profitable crop7

Government engineers will recon-
mend that no more money be spent in
improving the Yamhill River above

matter of time until the oregon Elec-
tric will be running its cars into Nc
Minnville and that 1t will not be pos
sble for steamboats, on small, shall
low river like the Yamhill to success
fully compete with the trolley cars in
handling freight and passengers. For
the same reason, it is not probable
that any new steamboat lines will be
established on the upper willamette,
Strange as 1t may seem, when rail-
road or an electric line is built along
