WHO MAKES THE MONEY?

WHO MANe0 UTE MOIv6St .
In the current issue OF Farm and
Preside, tho national farm paper,
published at Springfield, Ohio, JUDD
son G. Welliver, Washington CORE
spondent Of that publication. writes
an interesting article, In which he
shows that large farms are more
profitable than small ones in proper
ton to the dollars invested. He
says that after two or three years Of
investigation, the government has
published q bulletin presenting the
conclusions Of q survey Of represent
ative farms in Indiana, Illinois and
Iowa, wherein IL shown who makes
the money farming and how; also,
who loses It and why. Following Is
an extract giving some Of the facts
contained in the governments re-
ports:
'ln the first place, 1t seems to
have discovered that most of 1t IL
made by the landlord, and that chief
ly out Of the increase in land val
ues. The farmer gets poor wages
for his work. In q startlingly large
proportion Of the cases he gets no
wages at all, after allowance is made
for interest ON investment and cost
Of help, The man on the small farm
makes less wages than the man on
the bigger farm. because It costs
more for what the efficiency experts
might call overhead operating costs
on q small than on . large farm. II
you don't own enough land to make .
good-sized economic farming unit,
rent some and farm It along with
what you own. II you can't get It,
sell what you have and go where you
can buy enough. or rent enough to
make the proper unit. WA
"lThe department figures show that
as the size Of the farm increages
the proportion Of 1t actually raising
crops increases, and the number OF
horses and amount Of machinery re
quired per acre to farm 1t decreases.
Likewise, until the farm gets big
enough to make It possible to handle
labor most emciently-that 10, to
have something for all the hands to
be doing all the time that Is worth
while-the proportionata labor cost
is too large on the small farm. That
may be tough on the intensive ex.
perts, but it's q fact they cant get
around. The small farm must have
the various Implements. but they
don't do as much work per dollar OF
cost that they repSesent, as on the
bigger farm.
The survey which brought out
these and many more important facts
included 277 farms in Indiana, 100 IN
Illinois, and ,217 IN Iowa. In each
state rather more than half were op
Grated by the owners, and the rest
by tenants"

THE MONROE DOCTRINE
WHATEVER THE RESULT
(By Associated Press.)

WASHINGTON, D. c., Oct 24.-That
Germany has no intention of violating
the Monroe doctrine, and that the Eu-
ropean war lord has no present inten-
ton, at least, of provoking difficulty
with the United States, is indicated in
statement given out at noon today
by. Count Won Bernstorff, who stated
to Associated Press representatives
that early during the present conflict
across the Atlantic he had assured the
United States government that Ger
many would respect the Monroe doc
trine whatever the outcome of the
European war"
The statement was given out by the
German ambassador in order to refute
certain unfounded reports to the eff
feet that Germany intended to disre-
gard this nation in it's future dealings
with South American repcblics.
