seem that the big farmer is hav-
ing the hardest times making
both ends meet. He may ap-
pear the most prosperous from a.
standpoint Of property and per-
sonal holdings, but in most cases
a careful invoice would reveal
startling figures, with the bal
ance ON the wrong side of the
ledger. Whenever you find a
farm that is poorly farmed you
will almost invariably find that
the farmer is trying to farm
too much land. Why should a.
farmer trav over a large tract
of land to make living, when
he can make a better and. an
easier living on a smaller farm,
getting his land worked up bet
ter and double if not treble his
yield When he realizes the
necessity of farming fewer acres
and working these fewer acres
well then the real profits are
realized and his property assur-
ed. He will be burdened down
with lighter mortgages and have
less money invested to secure
bigger profits, which means less
money. invested to secure bigger
bigger profits, which means less
worry and more satisfaction out OF
life. There is no doubt but
what more profits can be made
from 160 acre farm well work
ed than from a poorly farmed
section, by devo.ing the time to
the one quarter that it takes to
work a section. Another bad
feature as we see it, is the ten
dency: OF farmers to grab off too
much smd in so doing bur
den themselves down with heavy
mortgages, and II many cases
cripple themselves so badly fl
nancially that they have to de-
vote the best part of their lives
getting ON *heir feet again. Many
farmers are land poor. The
money which is being tied up
in too much land, and the COM
pound interest on the unpaid
balance, would bring three times
the returns if it had been in
vested in cows or stock, Then
again the investment is SO much
safer because one can dispose of
the stock and get the cash any
time, while land can't be sold
on the spur Of the moment short
of a sacrifice.

Larimore, N. D., Oct. 1S.-Over

Because l farmed it right"
is Mr.. Crozier's response to the
question Of how he did it.
Mr.. Croziers raised, among other
things, 10000 bushels of potatoes
which he has sold at an average
of 20 cents abushel, xhe cost to
him beng estimated at Z cents

figure anything for working the
land, contending now that the
soil is in fine condition for next

till'ng operations cannot there
fore be charged to the potato croi
Only fitty-three acres of the
farm were devoted to potatoes,

''Basing the productiveness of
the soil upon the results l have

lily appreciate the fact that
every quarter section of similar
land would be sufficient for any
farm, and that it would give him
a good l,yirg and also provide
for the proverbial rainy day"

SUICIDE STATIHTICS
SHOW MANY DEATH0

St:t 8 les of suicide gwen IN
The Spectator, an insurance
weekly, present many points Of
interest. The figures relate to
100 leading cities in this country
and it appears that the number
of suicides per 100000 population
for 1912 was 1873, an improve
ment ON 1911, when it was 1876.
The rate has fallen every year
since 1908, when it was 2l.8, the
successive figures being .2ls0, IL
Z, 1913, 1873. The average ra6e
for the deeenni1a1n 1902-1l was
1876. Indeed, the suicide rate
for 1912 was not very much high
er than the average for the en-
t re series Of twenty years from
,, 1893 to 1912, inclusive, which was
1872; this is a better state Of
things than is generally supposed.
A noteworthy point brought
out by The Spectator is that, II

This must have been the memora-
BILE fishing trip Of Sunday June,
22nd. during the trial. The story
|is that when the parties left for
this fishing trip an agreement
was entered into that there was
to be nothing discussed but ne-
igion and fishing during the day
but after the booze got to flow
ing pretty freely some one broke
the agreement and mentioned the
murder trial and as result there
were several who returned with
black eyes.
The taxpayers will also notice
in .the bill under date of June,
13th., the item Drinks, cigars,
mixing for information $7,-
20, = and again ON. June 25th.
Drinks, cigars, card games, and
mixing for inforpationy $22:5o." "
And again on June 26th. "Culti-
waiting II days $84.O0"This must
mean cumivating witnesses.

these items which speak for
themselves as to whether or not

a new and suscinct denomination
might result if one does not
swallow up the other and also
believing that a more vital con-
nection with the worldwide cam

clare ourselves as being entirely

5. Further, in the interest Of
order and effective service we
declare our, convention that when
proposals for readjustmehts Of
work are made every pastor
should refer the matter directly
to the district superintendent, to
be disposed Of through a legally
called quarterly conference, and
we further insist that, where ex-
changes have been made, the

reopen the whole case it they
are not supplied with proper sup
