JUST TO MAKE BREAD.
With $2O,OOO,OOO Capital Baking

With $2O,OOO,0OO Capital a Baking
Company Is Born at New York.
Twenty-one big baking companies
in cities dotting the east and south
from Boston to st. Louis and New
Orleans have thrown their lot togeth-
er, merging under the name of the
General Baking Company with a to-
tai capital of $2O,0O0,0OO in stock
and $5,O00,OOO in bonds. The new
chain of bakeries will be operated in
fifteen cities.
In the formation of the General
Baking Company" the announce
ment reads, there is no thought or
purpose of the establishment of a
monopoly in the manufacture or sale
of bread. Such a monopoly would
be impossible, as in most localities,
with few exceptions, only one baking
company has been acquired, leaving
competition open to hundreds of 9th
ers."

TO MAKE LARGER YIELDS THE
FARMERS GREATEST PROBLEM

mers a fair price for the things they
produce; but to him personally it IS
worth just as much to reduce the cost
of production as to raise the selling
price, and he can do far more at it.
The margin between cost and selling
price is what counts, and there is no
surer way to increase this margin
than to build up the soil so as to
raise larger crops. This, we believe,
is the first and greatest thing for the
farmer to do. That he is doing it
will not decrease his efficiency in pro-
noting any measure for the general
good. 1t will increase it, indeed; for
in any economic struggle the man
who is not his own master financially
is not likely to be a very formidable
contestant, no matter how willing his
spirit may be.
Our greatest problem as farmers is
larger yields to the acre; our first
duty is to take care of the land so
as to make these larger yields posi-

Corn and Cotton Suffering.

Corn and Cotton Suffering.
A Dallas, Tex, dispatch says: The
first drops in nearly a month, falling
last night in numerous sections of
north central Texas where corn is
burning up and cotton must soon
have moisture, gave rise to reports
that the drought had been broken.
Today's reports show that the rain
was not general, that it consisted of
hundreds of light showers which did
some good, though as a rule the
moisture was hardly more than
enough to lay the dust. A few points,
however, reported a good drenching.
Dallas and Fort Worth appear to
have been nearest the center of the
storm area, which extended IS to
100 miles in every direction from
these cities. Here the precipitation
was .22 of an inch.
The Dawson news. (Dawson, Ga.) 1889-current, 1911-06-21

/ Last year the cotton crop was
small, but it brought good prices and
returned to the farmers of the south
much more than the usual amount of
money. Hence, we now hear much
again of the theory of small crops
and prosperity; but when we consid-
er that the average production Of
lint cotton was only 1907 pounds
per acre the matter takes ON a differ
ent aspect.
There is money in growing cotton
at IA and Is cents a pound when one
makes a respectable yield; but we
submit to the judgment of any think
ing man that, even at these prices,
the man who makes only an average
crop is not going to get rich very
fast. One hundred and seventy
pounds of cotton at is cents a pound
will amount to $3.50; $40 pounds
of seed at $50 a ton will be $5.15, or
a total return from this average acre
of $1,000. For this the farmer must
grow his cotton, pay his fertilizer
bills, pay interest on the value of his
land, pay for or do the picking, gin
ming and marketing. Even at these
unusually high prices the average
farmer does not have a great deal
left when he pays for all of these
things The man who grows twice
this much to the acre, however, can
make money even if he gets 2 or 8
cents a pound less for his staple; and
the man who makes a bale or a bale
and half to the acre is assured of
a profit whenever the prices are at
all reasonable.
We believe with ali our hearts in
the organization of farmers, in their
standing together for better prices,
in every effort to keep the cotton
crop down to a reasonable acreage;
but none OF these matters is of as
much Importance to the individual
as is his yield to the acre The big
gest yield is not always the most
profitable one, but very small yield
can never be a profitable one. There
are certain things which the man
who makes a small crop must do just
as surely as the man who makes a
large crop, and the cost of doing
these absolutely essential things al
ways amounts to enough to wipe out
all the profit from crop of less
than average size.
SO, once again, our advice to each
and ever individual farmer is: First
of all, build up your soil and increase
your average yields. No matter how
high prices may get unless you make
a respectable yield you will get scant
return for your labor. With a good
soil and good crops you are assured,
even in a season of low prices, of
fairly remunerative returns. The on
ly men who make money on their
cotton crops-or any other crops
when prices are low are the men who
make big yields. The men who make
most money when the prices are high
are these same men. The average
farmer-the 170-pound man-will
get almost nothing for his labor in a
season of low prices, and no very
large wages even when prices, as at
present, are good.
| We believe it is the duty of every
farmer to do all he can to insure far
