Make AN ATTACK
Denies Charge that He Lev

Farming Movement.

New Rockford. n. D., Feb. 2S.-
That he made no attack upon the
Better Farming movement Of North
Dakota was the statement of George
s. Lotus of Minneapolis, made to-
day MIR. Lotus said that an attack
on the men behind the movement had
been made by the farmers present
and that resolutions were adopted
naming three men who helped or
ganize the work as representatives of
three trusts and of the financial in
terests.
II made no attack on the Better
Farming association said Mr.. LOTUS.
II did suggest that the farmers re-
quire the better farming agents of
their communities to go on record
for or against the cooperative SELL
ing of grain by the farmers and
suggested that where the agents were
for the plan the farmers shouN work
with them, but where they are op-
posed j stated that the farmers should
have nothing to do with the better
movement"
1T seems to me-" concluded Mr..
Lotus. that the fact that money
was subscribed by the farmers present
to send a committee to Washington
and that money was also subscribed
for stock in the Equity Cooperative
exchange shows the temper of those
who were present"

Educated Farmers Have Big Advantage Over
Man Who Never Went to School," Says Bureau

Washington, Feb. 7.-Farmers with
a high school education make nearly
double the average income Of those
with merely common school educa-
ton, and those who start earliest
make the most profits, according to
the department of agricultures inves-
tigators. The departments office OF
farm management has been conducts
ing series of Investigations in the
corn belt. which have brought out
many details that should be of prac-
results have just been published in
new bulletin.
Under average conditions the farm,
according to this bulletin, is no place
for the weak or for those unable to
direct work. The man who intends to
spend his working ife in the country
should start early.for success is not
gained in a moment but by many
years Of persistent effort. 1t is true that
some farmers have made small for
tunes in short time, but this is usual
ly through a phenomenal rise In land
values. Few men have become rich
from the real profits Of the land.
Those who have done so usually need
ed a lifetime in which to work.
Through skill in management and by
hard labor comfortable living and
moderate profits may be expected.
Those persons who are turning to the
farm with the idea Of reaping large
incomes are doomed to severe disap-
pointment.
Those making the poorest incomes
were 2S years Of age when they start
ed farming and were past 80 when
they became owners. On the average
the oldes men are making the least
profits.
Many farmers with very little
schooling succeed, but these same men
would do better If the had the oppor-
tunit Of further training. No one ev-
er hears farmer regret that he spent
a part Of his early life in school. The
following table in the bulletin shows
the relation OF the owners and ten
ants education to his income. on the
farms investigated:

use Of labor is the consideration Of
the profitableness of each. Dairy cows
and cash crops may utilize all Of the
farmers time, but in certain regions.
possibly, dairy cattle under the best
could hardly be made to
pay a profit. Markets and other con-
ditions have to be carefully consider
ed in choosing the enterprises which
are to constitute the main sources Of
income. Fitting the right crop to the
soil and selling it to the proper mar
ket or feeding it to the right kind of
live stock are important factors. Fol-
lowing such types of farming as are
unsuited to the region is often cause
the older settled states.
The wide fuctuation in prices Of
certain crops makes it extremely diff
ficult for farmer to choose a definite
rotation. One year they will be such
as to give handsome profits on certain
crops. and the next year they may be
insufficient to pay the cost Of pro-
duction. The question confronting the
average farmer is not SO much one Of
production as it is Of marketing. Most
farmers are able to grow a sufficient
quantity Of crops to give them a very
comfortable living If they are assured
OF reasonable prices Tor their pro-
ducts. However. under present condi-
tions the farmer has to take big
chances with nearly all of his crops.
If he is so unfortunate as to have a
combination Of crops every one Of
which is low in price in some particu-
lar year, severe losses will be the re-
suit. Potatoes. apples, peaches. onions
and cabbage are good illustrations Of
the crops that fiuctuate widely in
price from year to year.
The essential characteristics Of the
more successful farms are sufficient
area and a proper organization Of we'll
selected farm enterprises to permit
the maximum use Of men, horses and
machinery.
The bulletin just issued gives in de-
tail the results Of the thorough study
that the departments specialists have
made Of farming as a business in the

Operat ed by Owners

There were only eight men, four
owners and four tenants, who never
had school training. OF the owners
and tenants "a per cent attended a
common or district school. About 1S
per cent attended high school, and
one out Of every 35 went to college or
to some institution Of similar grade.
On the whole the tenants had re-
ceived more than district school ed
ucation, while only 20 per cent of the
owners had such training.
Those men having the best training
made the largest incomes, although
they were materially helped in doing
this by much larger farms and great
er capital.
Keeps the Boy ON the Farm.
Farming is business the same as
any other industry. and until our
schools teach some of the fundamental
principles governing profitable farm
ing, the farm boy is likely to seek
work elsewhere. Considering that the
farm boys Of today will be the farm
ers Of tomorrow, too little attention is
given to their training.
Many boys leave the farm because
they see no future in it. Another inn
portant reason is the lack of profitable
work at home. A moderate-sized farm
is necessary to give employment to
the farmer and his sons The small
farm does not provide work; hence
the boys must find employment else
whore. Let them fully understand how
farm profits and. losses are made and
there will be an incentive to remain.

yesterday afternoon as result Of
having taken carbolic acid in his
room at local hotel. Attendants at
the hotel were attracted to his room
by groans and found him lying on his
bed unconscious.
A doctor was called at once but at
tempts to restore the man to con-
sciousness proved futile and he died
in . short while. Nothing is known
Of the man here. He came to the hotel
Thursday morning and registered
from Minneapolis. He had no bag
gage and search Of his clothes last
night disclosed that he was without
money. .e
Nothing could be found ON him that
gave any clue az to whom the man
was in life or what he had been doing

Successful farming is an individual,
economic problem. The farm is COM
bination Of enterprises. and their in
dividual organization will determine,
IN large measure it's profita bleness.
Sufficient area and a proper organiza-
ton Of well-selected farm enterprises

tial characteristics of the most sue

Size OF the Farm Business.
No one expects small grocery
store which has only a few customers
a day to be great financial success.
The total amount of business is in
sufficient to earn, the operator sub
stantial income. Exactly the same is
true with the small farm. The volume
of business is limited by the area in
crops and the capital invested. The
small farm furnishes a home as we'll
as much Of the produce consumed by
the family. If it were not for these
factors the men on the small area
would hardly be able to live.
Wages are a reward for labor, and
il a farm does not provide work the
pay must be correspondingly small.
The family-size farm. which In the
corn belt should be above 100 acres,
is unquestionably a more efficient
unit than an area Of 40 acres or less.
Crops can be grown cheaper, labor
will be better paid, and the farmer
and his family will enjoy more Of the
benefits of modern civilization.
