FARMER GETS SMALL
RETURN FOR LABORS
Department Survey Shows
FamiIy's Living Is Asset Of
Average Ti|Ier of the Soil.

The average farmer Of tho United
States receives little more for his
Jear's labor than he would be paid IN
cash II he hired himself out as a farm
hand to ono Of his neighbors. In other
words, though he is in business for
himself, tho average farmer gets little
or no money reward for the lnteIn-
Rcnce and skill with which he has man
aged his affairs or tho risk and re-
sponsibility he has assumed.
This is the finding Of fact made by
an extensive survey OF conditions on a
large number of farms in ten states.
Gets Something In Return.
The study conducted by experts
shows, however, that the farmer does
get something in return for his efforts.
In many cases. the experts say, this
reward may best be found in tho prod
ucts with which hts farm furnishes him
directly. When farm is nearly II
not quite selt-sustaining, say the ex-
ports, when 1t supplies tho family that
ties OF life. q large money income is
not necessary to prosperity. A greater
sum derived from farm which yields
nothing. for homo consumption may
leave the occupants much Wor0o or.
Detailed results OF the survey are soon
to be published by tho Department OF
Agriculture in q farmers bulletin on
What the Farm Contributes Directly

porous than the average. but fAEiy

they were located.

THE average valuo Of the chief neces-
stiles Of ife-food, fuel. oil and shelter
used each year by tho farm family
the Investigators found to be $5s6.0S.
or these necessities. estimated in money.
the portion contributed directly by the
farm was $42l.17, leaving $173.01 to be
purchased with cash obtained from sale
OF porducts. Note Is made OF the fact
values vastly higher.
Another interesting fact disclosed in
the investigation was that the Juanti-
ties Of groceries and food bought varied
In inverse ratio to the amount Of vege-
tables and fruits grown on the farm.
Foods Farms Supply.
OF the food consumed an average Of
63 per cent was furnished by tho farm.
Tho proportion Of that furnished by the
farm varied greatly in different localities.
1t was greatest in North Carolina where
farms supplied 8 s2.3 per cent Of all food
consumed. This is regarded as Of par
omic crisis in the South as demonstra-
ting that all Southern farms properly
managed can be made self-sustaininR
by devoting less attention to one cash
crop, such as cotton.
The finding OF the Survey Is that cash
crops are not the sole, and on the aver
age. are not even the chief source OF
real income. 1t Is really what the farm
furnishes directly to the farmer that
enables him to support his family"

TIRES MOST EXPENSIVE PART.

To begin with, the tires are the most
expensive wearable part Of a modern
car. Varying as they do in price. it
should be noted that the original cost
OF the tire Is no criterion as to its cost
per mile run, and cheap tires are often
the most expensive from this point of
view. But economies in the wear Of
tires can be accomplished in very sim
~ ways II thought Is given. For ex-
ample. the stopping and starting should
be gradual, and neither hand nor foot
brake should be adjusted violently.
Patches of unrolled stone should be
avoided. and careful watch should be
maintained for broken glass.
The tires should always be sheltered
a. much as possible from the fierce
rays Of the sun. and kept blown up to
tho proper standard and not allowed to
run half inflated. Grease Is also an
enemy to rubber tires. producing rapid
disintegration. Finally, bad cuts should
be filled up at once with repair ma
tartal.
Tires Worn Too Long.
Many motorists allow their tires to
wear too far and when recovered the
new tread breaks away from the under
part. II the car is not going to be used
for a considerable time. all the outer
covers and tubes should be taken Off
and hung in cool. dark places.
Tho second most expensive item in
D,otoring is gasolene. The ordinary

driver knows but little how to econo-
mize with fuel, for the commonest
fault is that the carbureter needs air.
the absence Of which not only scots up
the plugs, but also wastes his gasolene.
Again. running on top gears tends to
produce economy. The engine should
never be left running when the wheels
are not actually in motion. for nova
days. when most Of the cars have been
equipped with electric starters. there
Is no reason why this should be done.
Economy In Oils.
Last, but not least. come the econo-
mics in the use Of lubricating oils.
which, unless carefully regulated.
cause the unnecessary emission of
smoke from the exhaust. much to the
annoyance Of the pedestrian and in
violation Of the law. Numerous drivers
do not seem to heed the dropping of
oil underneath the car. This indicates
not only that the fabrication costs will
he high. but also that there is some-
thing strained or in bad repair which
needs looking after.
protection against lengthy exposure to
wet and dust, which cause the appear
ance Of ugly cracks. rattling Of door
hinges, windows. and removable tops,
which may result in expense in he
pairs. All cars should be insured in re-
spect to fire. accidents, or third party
risks. as the most careful and compe-
tent driver is liable to suffer at any
time through no fault Of his own.

Some Very Bad Habits
In the Use of Brakes

Apart from the neglect OF brakes
motorists are likely to get into bad
habits. such as relying entirely on the
foot brakes and never using or never
testing the emergency. Then. when
they are wanted. and wanted badly, the
emergency brakes may be found out OF
order or rusted fast. so that they are
useless. Another bad habit is that OF
using tho brakes too harshly. 1t Is bad
practice to apply the brakes severely
except In the case OF an emergency
where a stop has to be sudden, and as
sudden as possible. In coming up to a
pre-intended stopping place. the brakes
should be applied only as a final check
to stop the care exactly at the spot
intended.

 ''Is this the real Luther Burbank?" said Edison with a smile as he step- ped from his private car and greeted Burbank. Burbank and Edison then conducted a hearty handshake.
 Edison and 1 are greatly alike" said Burbank. He is trying new tricks and so am I. Like me, he suc- ceeds about once out of every thou sand times. I work with things of nature and he improves on nature"
