FARM EARNINGS SMALL.
requires PRESENTED Showing Grower
Gets Little from His Toll,

Startling figures, though conceded
10 De accurate, were given at the old
seItlei picnic at Magnolia, by
Frank E. Edgerton, a former Harri-
son county boy, now assistant attor-
ney general of Nebraska. He con-
tends that the actual saving, aside
from unearned increment, has been
about 60 per farm per year.
On this phase of the subject,
"hlch attracted much attention
among the large number of farmers
present, Mr.. Edgerton said:
me farmers of this state have
passed through period of great
prosperity. Some there are who
tnlnk that the tremendous wealth
winch has been added to their hold
lngs IN recent years come through
tnelr own efforts; but analysis shows
that but a small part came through
that channel.
The farm property of the state
OF Iowa in 1910 was valued at So
145,OO0. The land alone in the
farms was worth $2,SOO,OOO, 900. In
l9oo the same land was worth ST.
IoV,Voo'o0O. In that ten years, the
land in the farms increased in value
more than $1,000, 100000, while
the other farm property-the i'm
proVements, the live stock and the
machlnery-increased in value
$3.50, 600.
hen you consider that there
are u 900 farms over which to
scatter this 100000, 900 and recol-
lect that the prices arc all greater
than in 1900, you will realize that
the farmers of the state have not ac-
cumuIated any great amount through
their own efforts and savings. On a
oasis Of $360,000,0OO they saved
ABOUT $3.50 per farm per year. The
value OF their crops each year was
more than 100000.
But you say the Iowa farmer has
money in the bank-he has saved
more than is represented in the in
creased valuation of his farm prop
erty other than his land. Yes, he has
money in the bank and he also has
deDts and mortgages. Of the 1885,
wv farms OF the state operated by
their owners, $4,000 are mortgaged
ana the average mortgage per farm
is $4,o4S, making a total of s275,-
OOo,Ooo on those farms. On the
$4,000 rented farms, there is also a
great debt, SO it is probable the
mortgage Indebtedness of Iowa
farms is about 100000, 1000, an
amount greater than the bank ac-
counts Of the farmers.
1T is plain, then that the Iowa
FARMER has been doing we'll in the
past ten years or twelve years, but,
largely because Of the unearned in
crement which has come to his land.
1T mas not come about through his
labor or his savings. This immense
fortune OF a billion and a half came
to the Iowa farmer because of an in
crease of the population of the ma
ton, the scarcity of farm land like
this, families in other lands, wars
and a thousand things which go tc
increase the value of land holdings
in civilized country"

Fatal Accident.

tragic close on Wednesday. the sec-
ond day of the series, in game ha-
tween Gilman City and Ridgewav in
which James Cole of the Gilman f,i,,
team was struck on the head by a
pitched ball, receiving INJURIES which
later resulted in his death,
The particulars of the sad affair
appear as follows: Cole was at bat

lous the game was played out and
Cole, while not being able to resume
MS position with the team, remained
IN the crowd and watched the Gilman
boys battle to victory.
Inc game was over about GOO
o CLOCK and Cole, who bv this time
was suffering excruciating pains, was
brought to town and medical advice
consulted. Upon the recommenda-
ton of local physician, the injured
payer was taken to a hospital at
Trenton for an operation. The trip
was made in the John Markey auto
mobile. Upon arriving at the hos
pltal the doctor, after an examina-
ton, decided that it was a hopeless
case and that an operation would
prove unavailing. Cole became I'M
conscious during the evening and
died at about 500 O'Clock Thursday
morning.
An autopsy revealed the fact that
the brain had been torn loose from
the skull and death had ensued from
the rupturing of an artery.-Ridge-
