MAKING FARMING PAY.
There Are Four Factors Which Must
Be Taken into Consideration.

Prepared by Minnesota experiment sta
toni
A farm management demonstration
in southwestern Minnesota showed that
the average la Dor income of sixty-three
farms taken In order was $423. This
means that the farmer had $423 left
for his own work above all business
expenses and s per cent interest on an
average investment of $24, 800. In ad-
dition to the foregoing, the farmer had
his house rent and such products as
the farm furnished toward the family
living. The results given coincide
with extensive Investigations in sev
eral states. which have shown that one
should endeavor to exceed the average
of ones locality in as many OF the fol-
lowing ways as possible IL a profitable
farm business is desired: First, size of
business; second, crop yields per acre;
third, live stock receipts per 81 OF feed {;
fourth, amount of work accomplished
per man.
In this locality the average farm had
1872 acres of crops. The yields per acre
OF the leading crops were: Corn, thirty
nine bushels; wheat, eleven bushels;
oats, thirty-five bushels. The average
receipts for 81 spent for feed were
$1.16, and the average amount of work
done per man was the raising of 100
acres of crops and the care of CORE
spending amount of live stock. The
foregoing averages should not be TAX
en- as applying to any locality except
the one included in this demonstration.
There were five farmers who fell be-
low the average In each of the four
factors. Not one of the FIVE made as
much AZ a $500 labor income. or
eighteen farmers who exceeded the
above average III but one of the four
factors only one made a $500 labor in
come. Again, eleven farmers exceed
cd the average in three of the four
factors. Out of the eleven there were
ten who made more than $500 labor
income. Just five farmers exceeded
the average of their neighhors in all
a $500 labor income.
This demonstration shows that under
the conditions prevalent In southwest.
ern Minnesota in the year 1914 farm
err who can do little better than the
average OF his neighbors In at least
three of the above four factors IL al
most certain to make more than 5 per
cent interest on the investment and n
labor income of over $500.

WILSON'S SERVICE TO HUMANITY.
Witter Bynner of Windsor Vt. writing to the New York World says:

Witter Bynner of Windsor, Vt, writing to the New York World, says:
 Carefully reading the presidents recent speech es including his championship of the eghthour law, and honetsly remembering his generous achievements, one comes to realize that what makes Wilson loom up and more in likeness to Lincoln and his patient horse-sense seen all the more clearly against the provincial jingosm and barren rhetoric of his adver saries
 "One of the facts which contribute to faith in democracy is that in such crucial times the time of the Civil war, of the world war; this particu- lar democracy has found itself under the leadership of men with judgmen, and power simply and broadly human as to seem almost divine. Wilson's service to humanity, and therefore to his country, bids fair, devoutly believe, to be great as Lincolns for the that the conduct of the Wilson administration, both at home and abroad is the nearest approach made by any government to the application of the Golden Rule.
 'In this catacysmic year, America may well be glad of chance to express through the reelection of a great president, renewal of her faith in great national destiny"
