OFFICIAL
SAYS FARMING IS
NOT PROFITABLE

Observation-Disclosures of farm
earnings entered the western freight
hearing with the testimony of w. ].
Thompson of the United States depart.
ment of agriculture
Thompson, who is in charge of the
section of farm economics, told of data
gathered by federal officials in Indiana.
Illinois and Iowa. He testified that
In that district one farmer out of %
earned more than $4,000 a year after
deducting all expenses and per cent
on the actual investment.
"One farmer out of every three in
27S farms considered in the three
states said Thompson, paid for the
privilege of working his farm"
His statistics on rented farms gave
the average earnings of a tenant
farmer as $3.50 year. The figures
applied to 247 tenant farmers, and he
testified that the owners of the farms
received an average net return of 3.5
per cent on their property investment,
after allowing for taxes and insurance.
The cost of growing an acre of corn
was placed by the witness at 5000
for an average yield of As bushels to
the acre.
Based on the actual selling price
offered after harvest" said Thompson,
the farmer received only mills pro-
fit on bushel of corn. The cost of
raising bushel of oats, figured actual
data from SIT acres, was 1919 cents,
and the average price received for
oats was SS cents, loss of 11.9 cents
a bushel
There Is no profit in raising oats.
That crop has been grown by the farm
er to preserve the rotation of
crops" said the witness. Counsel for
the railroads objected to the lntroduc-
ton of the testimony on the ground
that 1t was irrelevant to the question of
the proposed advance In freight rates.
Arguing the submission of the tes-
timony, Clifford Thorn, counsel for
the western commission, urged that
as the railroads had repeatedly
brought In the question of what the
traffic would bear" in their presenta-
ton of the case, the evidence on the
farm earning was material. I'VE con-
tend" he said, that If the business of
farming is Improbable and yields a
lower return than other industries, it
has bearing here"
Commissioner Daniels ruled that the
testimony would be received intimat-
ing, however, that the farmers who
kept accounts were not as expert in
farming as the average.

most careful reading and serious con-

1t is the fact of this essential differ

1t is not an indication of enterprise
that retailer shall fall for" every
popular fad, either in business con-
duct or publicity. A few years ago
merchants were vying with each 9TH
er to see which could put out the
most expensive and attractive calen-
dars, and the expenditure in this form
Of advertising reached limits far out
of proportion with their trade-getting
possibilities. The curtailment in en-
ployment of this medium is now pro-
nounced, and greater discrimination is
employed in distribution where calen-
dars are gotten out. This does not
prove that calendar advertising is in
effective, for it undoubtedly Is, but
simply that by adopting the other fell
lows methods, those methods soon
lose their drawing power and become
burden, rather than a stimulant.

Bill Barred from Mail Boxes.

OF special interest and Importance
to not only retail grocers but also
merchants in every line is the new
to the federal postal laws
announced this week from Washing
ton which forbids the placing of bills,
circulars or hand bills in the mail
boxes at the doors of houses and fats.
Any infringement Of the ruling is pun
ishable by fine Of 1000 or imprison-
ment for five years, or both.
Postmaster General Burleson has
extended the jurisdiction Of the postal
service to the control of all apartment
house, office and other private mail
boxes. Anyone who places anything
in them that is not mail matter Is vio-
lating federal laws.
In other words, the merchant who
distributes circulars or monthly bills
and puts them in or fastens them to
the mail boxes lays himself liable to
$1,000 fine or Imprisonment or both.

Vocational Education.

At recent convention of dealers
resolution was adopted for vocational
education of boys along the lines of
the trades, industries and agriculture.
Such an education is a good thing, but
it should not be made exclusive. II
one has only an industrial education,
with no knowledge of mathematics, of
the fine arts, or of philosophy, he can
not possibly get the full enjoyment of
life.
A man with such an education may
have unbounded success in the bust
ness world-may amass q fortune;
but riches is not the key that will un-
lock to him the mental treasures Of
the universe. Without knowledge Of
mathematics and astronomy he can
not comprehend and appreciate the
magnificence and grandeur of the uni
verse; without knowledge of music he
cannot understand the genius OF q
Wagner or a Beethoven; without
knowledge of art he cannot fully en-
joy the masterpieces in that field, and
without an instructive initiation into
literature he probably never will real
ize what magnificent gems of thought
have been left to him by the intellec-
tual giants Of all ages.
We are at present living in a com.
mercial age and are prone to use the
dollar as a measure of success, but
let us reflect moments there q
single person in history who has
amassed fortune and is. by reason
Of that achievement, looked upon as
an Intellectual star and as an exemp
lar? Does such mans influence &C
| sweeping through the ages as does
that of a Shakespeare, Humboldt OF
Darwin? Is not mans success to
be measured as much by that which
he gives to the world as by that which
he takes from it? Is not the richest
person he who gets the most happi
ness and pleasure out of life? A MAI
may possess great wealth, but if hi.
education and culture is SO restricted
that he can enjoy material pleasure
only, then he is indeed poor.
We cannot all be masters, but mos
of us have a special aptitude for som,
particular line, and in order to finl
in what direction that aptitude tendl
we must study in various branches
furthermore, all sciences, all arts, al
trades, all vocations, are to some ex
tent overlapped and interviewer; SO
in order to know any one Of thes,
thoroughly we must know something
of the other branches of learning
These other branches form the gen
eral education, the base upon which
we build our specialized pursuit; ant
with such a general education ant
such a specialized pursuit we can oh
tain from the world all that it has II
store for us, and give to the world al
that we have in store for it.
