OF the Greys hanging out almost hori-

( From July 18th to 3Ist tina county
agents OF northern West Virginia held
convention in Wheeling. Most of the
time was given to detailed study of
farm management. A number OF nearby
farms were visited and carefully surveyed
under the supervision of Prof. O. NJ.
Johnson and j. III. Arnold OF the Office
OF farm management, department Of
agriculture.
The first farm visited contained 200
acres of very fertile land. The buildings
were exceptionally good and there was an
AR OF prosperity. The owner and land
lord was found to be making a labor in
come oil $3.50 less than nothing, while the
tenant was coming out just about even.
Although this farm was but a few miles
out of Wheeling, no cash crops were sold
except little wheat and hay. A flock
oil sheep was kept. from which nothing
was sold but the wool. Although little
or no attention was given these sh. ep.
they represented large loss. The tenant
kept about six COWS, from which the
landlord derived no income II was de-
cided that the farm should be- run as a
dairy TO make the most profit.
Another smaller and less fertile farm
was visited and surveyed. IL was run by
two brothers, who together made A labor
income of $1,000. They kept twenty
cows and sold a little wheat and timothy
hay. They plan to grow large acreage
OF alfalfa to sell, because this is now
bringing $50 a ton in Wheeling. A labor
distribution showed that the first cutting
OF alfalfa would interfere seriously with
the work on corn. Therefore they were
advised to grow good many soy beans
in place OF some of the alfalfa. 1t was
practically impossible to hire farm labor,
80 that only such crops could be grown
as could be cared for by the two brothers.
Eleven OF the more successful farms of
Brook county were studied. All OF them
either ran diaries or sold large amount
of truck crops the most successful
had both.
Few farms in Preston county would
show positive labor income after charg-
ing the owners i've per cent ON their in
vestment A farmer cannot. expect to
make money unless he sells consider
able amount each year. Too many of us
are content to raise only enough To win
ter our stock. We are fortunate in hav-
ing very good cash crop in potatoes.
Within two weeks Prof. Johnson and
an assistant will be in Preston county to
survey some of the more successful farms.
1t is their aim to find out what methods
have proven most profitable here, later
TO present these results to other farmers
who have been less successful. Every
farmer should ask himself, "What is my
labor income?'

power which is responsible for the present

to that the deficit OF over 81 200, 900,

most extravagant year OF the Glasscock
administration, and what do you suppose
the tax receipt will be for the remaining
years OF the Hatfield administration? II
this ratio OF increase continues TO the end
OF the Hatfield administration, it will
mean an expenditure OF some 81, 900, 900
over the Glasscock administration. This
is serious question which confronts the
taxpayers and one which partisan poll
ticslhas made possible. II it is increased
taxation which the people want they will

Shoe Manufacturer Thinks Hour ssss

Boston, August 3.-The head o! the
United Shoe Machinery Company testi-
fed that Endicott, johnson * Co. are
the largest shoe manufacturers in the
world, and as the Shoe Machinery Cor
poration must have the record from its
machines it must know.
"A customer recently wrote asking
Henry b. Endcott his views on the
the general situation. Mr.. Endicott's
response is so at variance with the pessi-
mism one hears in Wall Street and State
Street that we have obtained a copy Of
this letter and give it in full, ms follows
Answering your inquiry as to how
feel in regard to future business con-
ditions, would say that believe we are
on the eve of very large business ex-
pansion.
Critics, it always seems to me, have
an easy job. l attended baseball game
yesterday, and sat on the bleachers and
it was surprising how much more about
the game the men around me knew than
the umpire or the players.
"Such being the case in the baseball
business, it is not surprising TO find so
many men that think they can improve
upon the Job of the President.
~ am not writing you this letter to
defend the Presinent. question whether
any defense from me would do any good
but do believe that lot OF opportunities
are wasted by the country as whole,
spending to much time criticising the
present administration.
There is no need for me to write you
about the crops and the effect this will
have on the purchasing power OF the
country. These effects are exploited every
dav in the papers, but in my judgment,
it is the combination of all these things
mentioned that will bring forth the large
expansion in business which / firmly be-
lieve is coming TO this country
envy belief is, that il the American
people, as whole, whether they are for
or against the administration, whether
they are free traders or protectonsts,
whether they are trust presidents or day
laborers, will just stop wasting their time
talking about the hard things that have
come to us and realize the facts as they
are, we will see the largest business that
this country has ever had.
II don't mean by the above statements
that think we are going to have an easy
time doing business in this country. On
the contrary, think competition will be
keener than ever, but the business houses
built on economical lines will be in shape
to get this competition. In my judg-
ment the old-fashioned extravagantly
managed concerns will have to fall by the
waYside.
II believe that by October we shall see
very heavy business in full swing and
shall advise conducting our own business
on that basis. wall Street Journal,
