Well, suppose we just start in and

Will assume that your tenant fur
nlshes teams and tools for production
OF the crop aud that he rulses forty
bushels of corn per acre. That Is
liberal enough for the tenant as an
average, Under the usual part Of the
crop plan Of dividing the proceeds OF
a corn field, you can get one third
Of the corn and the tenant two thirds.
This would be thirteen and one third
and twenty SIX wOthirds respect
lively, In bushels for each OF you and
you furnish the crib for storing.
Now suppose that you, at an ex.
pense all your own, provide a means
of harvesting and storing the entire
crop, stalks and all The contention
OF the silO man is that when this Is
done, you have harvested one hundred
per cent Of the value OF your crop for
feed that the stalks represent forty
per cent and the grain had n been
harvested as the average tenant would
harvest II, would be worth only sixty
per cent Now what has the tenant
done to aid In the added value Of the
CROP He will he put to practically
the same expense In harvesting and
hauling to the cutter to I'll the sllo
that he would have been had he
shucked the corn and put II In the
crib. There may be a slight variation
either way, but for this problem we
are going to assume that the cost
IL the same. Figuring on this basis
the 40 per cent is all yours. And OF
90 per cent which would be har.
vested under the ordinary plan one
