Farmers viii Profit

In this connection it is opportune
to say that the American farmer is
certain to reap a larger profit from
the chaotic conditions which exist in
Europe than any other class Of
tradesmen or citizens. So far as our
manufacturers are concerned, while
new markets are undoubtedly beck
oning to the United States. yet on
the other hand, for several years to
come, the splendid trade which we
enjoyed In Germany, England,
France, Austria and Russia ON our
manufactured products is certain to
remain demoralized--and thus we
will be fortunate II we do not lose
more than we can hope to gain IN
new fields, with whose needs we
are not yet familiar, and to which
1t is certain to require some years
to adjust ourselves.
It is the American farmer, how
ever, who has no complications ahead
Of him, and whose flour, pork, beef,
mutton and other foodstuffs must
be depended upon to make up the

Another Serious Phase

Another Serious Phase
Important as is the employment
of labor, there is another very SER
ious phase OF this problem which
calls for profound thought at the
hands OF all thinking citizens, and
especially the farmer. In last weeks
article we cited the fact that in their
desperate efforts to make both ends
meet, many railroads are burning
the candle at both ends"-that In
order to bolster up their securities
and keep out of the hands OF re-
ceivers the rolling stock and road
beds OF many lines have been deter
iorating rapidly for q number OF
years and hence are in no position
to handle a big seasons tonnage,
should the strain of a heavy crop
year suddenly descend upon them.
That the great foreign war will pro-
duce the highest prices ever known
for the foodstuffs produced by the
farmer is admitted on all hands, and
II there ever was time when he
will need adequate and efficient
shipping facilities 1t will be during
the next two or three years-and
yet we are actually facing perhaps
the most prosperous period the
American farmer has ever known
with many American railroads In
dilapidated physical condition. No
sooner had the great European war
burst upon the world than congress
realized that our merchant marine
was utterly weak and inefficient.
Steps were at once taken to make
the best Of the situation and to re-
pair as speedily as possible our ne
elected shipping facilities upon the
high seas-and that the handicap
has already cost the American peo-
pie millions of dollars during the
last few months Is so patent that
It requires no extended comment. 1t
il one thing to have markets in all
parts of the world which have here
tofore been supplied by the great
warning nations begging for Amer
lean goods and foodstuffs-but 1t Is
quite another thing to have Ameri-
can ships in which to deliver these
.cargoes.
, Will we now add to the neglect
of an adequate merchant marine the
further folly of permitting our rail-
roads to get into such a weakened
physical condition that they will
break down under the strain Of de-
livering the products Of the farmer
and the manufacturer at our ocean
ports and thus largely waste the
great opportunity for profit which
the foreign war will unquestionably
bring to us? This is a phase Of the
present situation which commands
the serious thought Of every farmer
In Kansas and the corn belt gener-
ally-for here is where the lions
share of the nations foodstuffs are
produced and here is where farm
ers cannot afford to be hampered
by inadequate transportation facili-
ties If they are to make the most Of
favorable market opportunities.
There is not single manager Of
a Central or western railroad who
will not admit that the present
supply of first class freight locomc-
tives and box cars could not sue
cessfully meet the requirements of
several bountiful crop years-and
yet they haven't the funds with
which to supply this equipment and
thus be prepared for the emergency
when 1t comes--as 1t undoubtedly
will.

Two hundred thousand hogs and
their products are handled in To-
peka annually.
Kansas ranks about eighth in the
production OF swine in the United
States.
The government estimates the
number of swine in the United
States on January 1. 1914. as IS, $751;

Of 81 per cent.
The number Of swine in the United
States, per capita Of population in
1910, was 1.54; 1t is now but go OF
one animal per capita.
In consideration of present condi-
lions indications are that prices on
swine will hold strong.
But the hog holds the key to the
meat situation inasmuch as he can
produce twice as much meat from
a bushel Of corn as a steer.
Hogs are more prolific than any
other farm animal, according to
government expert, and consequent
ly contribute a larger number to
slaughter than any other class.
The Topeka state journal. [volume] (Topeka, Kansas) 1892-1980, 1914-03-28

because Of the high prices OF swine
for slaughter. Notwithstanding the
high price of hogs for slaughter, farm
ers found that they could not profita-
bly, feed the high priced corn. At the
same time, the price of hogs per hun
dred pounds was high relatively, al
though not as high as corn.
High Price of POrkers.
THE average value Of swine on farms
per head January /, 1914, was $1O.4O, or
5.6 per cent above the average value of
January /, 1913, and 1874 per cent above
that Of 1910. In consequence of the
increased value of swine pen head, the
total value of all swine on farms is
estimated at 1912 951. 900, or a gain Of lie
per cent over 1913. and 14.9 per cent
over 1910"
Hogs are more prolific than any 9TH

tribute a larger number to slaughter

That the hog holds the key to the
meat situation was statement recent
~ made by an expert. The assertion
was based upon the fact that a
"rooter" can produce twice as much
meat from a bushel of grain as a steer
and that his annual increase is from
five hundred to a possible fifteen hun
dred per cent.
Statistics show there has been a de-
cline in the number of swine per
capita Of population in this country,
and that this decline is felt in Kansas
which is rated about eighth as a pork
producing state. There we're fewer
hogs in Kansas in 1913 than in 1912.
and supply of sows in the state this
spring is below normal.
A recent publication Of the United
States department of agriculture has
the following to say relative to the
situation: although the estimated
number Of swine on farms January 1,
1914, 1898, 900 was 1.3 per cent more
than the census number for 1910, the
decline from 1913 was 81 per cent.
This decline is partly accounted for
by the extensive prevalence Of hog
cholera, by high priced corn, by the
deficient production of 1913 because

At THE RECITAL.

A piano recital usually makes but
Slight appeal to those who are not
definitely interested in the study of
piano music, but it must be said that
Harold Bauer. who played at the
Grand theater Friday afternoon, had
an Offering Of interest to those also
who are not students or professional
pianists.
Bauer. of course, would not be one
Of the eminent pianists of the world,
did he not possess qualities Of great
ness that differentiate him from 9TH
crs of his class. and it was the pleas
ure of his audience to discern that dis
tinguishing quality. Other artists have
played in Topeka whose. technical
abilities matched his, but there have
been none that put into the tones of
the piano the poetic beauty and SUBJ
tilty that he gives it. His playing is
done without any startling display of
manual dexterity. but because his
mastery of the piano may be taken for
granted. 1t does not follow that 1t may
be dismissed from further considera-
uCn. Like the tone he Commands, it
requires recognition. It's foundation
is laid in an insistent and singing tone
which never loses its intensity. It can
accommodate itself to the grace and
lightness Of Mozart. and it can sup
port the vigorous lines of Beethoven
ard Brahms, or sing with the purity
Of the melody of Schuberts's Inn
2romptu. That he is q finished tech
rician makes it possible for him to
play a long and difficult program
without making an exhausting de-
E1and on the purely mechanical re-
sources that he commands, but q real
ono on the artistic powers.
The Chopin Sonata in b minor was
the longest number on the program,
and the Adagio movement one Of the
most charming bits of music that fell
from Bauer'S fingers during the after
noon. 1t had in it the lingering, song
ful string quality Of tone In the mel
ody, and smooth legato. Bauer ac-
cOmplishes an effect in pedaling that
excels anything of the kind that the
writer remembers hearing, by which
the held tones are blended, without a
trace of 'muddiness" that may be
detected unless the use of the pedal is
faultless.
The Beethoven Minuet in E flat.
was a favorite number with the audi
ence, and 1t Justified Bauer's reputa-
ton as master exponent of Bee
thoven's style, though of course that
composers works admit Of various in

lastic to the warmly poetic, the latter
