drag 60 acres a day. in which case his
days wages will come to $21. etc
Now if this farmer who complains
so, could or would have the other farm
side lines which most farmers as ac-
tual farmers do have, then it would be
needless to make such calculations.
C. J. SUNDAHL.
The Leader replied to Mr.. Sundahl
that the figures he quoted were for the
year 1917 only and based upon contract
prices-what farmers would have to
pay IF THEY HIRED THEIR WORK
DONE-which is the basis used by
other businesses in figuring costs and
received in reply letter, in which Mr..
Sundahl says:
Your kind answer to my conmuni-
cation is at hand and note all you say
therein. Well. as far as figuring the
cost OF the crop this year it may in
a way figure in. But as to a general
application to the farming undertake
ing, which is in general a period OF
years. it does not come in for any basis
of the farming business as far as can
see. I admit that the farming busi-
ness is not the most lucrative business
at all times. but nevertheless our
Maker seems to have made more
farmers or tillers Of the sod for SUBJ
sistence than any others, and wisely
so."-THE EDITOR.

Editor Nonpartisan, Leader:
An article appeared in the Leader
for September Is on the cost Of pro-
ducing wheat and showed figures indi-
eating that it costs 81 per acre for
discing, So per acre for blowing, IS
cents per acre for narrowing. ETC. Now
I broke ground for wheat in 1881 and
sowed wheat the following spring in
1882 and I have raised wheat ever
since and at times I have sold wheat
as low as 80 cents per bushel and up
to present prices.
The figures given above might
answer for that kind Of farmer who
farms only in wheat. but they are not
farmers in the full sense of the farm
ing business
We all know that wheat at So a
-bushel was wild speculation and not
actual price of wheat. cost Of raising
or otherwise. At 81 per acre most
any farmer can disc 16 to Is acres a
day. and that ought to be pretty good
pay. Next, plowing at So per acre.

children do. One hundred and forty
years age, when the first American
Army marched to battle, our Nation
younger among Nations than you among
your fathers, your mothers, and their friends.
Our Army had drummer boys in those days,
real boys Of 10 and II, who marched as brave
ly and proudly into cannon fire as their
great chief; Gen. Washington, himself. Our
Nation had little girls who laughed and cheer
ed and loaded muskets for their fathers, who
fired through loop holes in their cabin homes,
when the painted Indians charged to the very
doors.
Where many schoolhouses stand today
American boys and girls may have helped to
fight and defeat the enemy, when our Nation,
too, was young.
We are in the greatest war of the world s
history and we must win this war We can
and we shall win, if the boys and girls Of
America say SO, and mean it, and live it, as the
boys and girls of '76 lived and felt and helped.
The Nation needs that sort of boys and
girls today. Not to beat our drums, nor load
our muskets but to start great work which
must be done. It is the part Of boys and girls
today to give an example of self denial and
sacrifice, to teach fathers and mothers, to
teach the grown people of the Nation that we
still have in every young heart the spirit of '76,
when boys led our soldiers into battle and girls
fought besides their fathers at the cabin walls.
The lesson is ''Thrift saving to the point of
sacrifice self denial Of everything unneces-
sary. If every boy and girl says at home to-
night, II will fight in this war, ~ will save
every penny and loan it to my Government to
help save the lives Of the big brothers of
America, - II will try to teach every Ameri-
can [ see to do the same" e"-then 20000,000
homes, the homes Of all America will be filled
with the spirit Of rs, the spirit Of the drum
mer boys, of the brave girls Of those days.
America will win again, as it has always won,
through the splendid strength, courage and
sacrifice in the hearts of youth, that today will
teach the Nation the lesson of saving and serv-
ing which it must and will learn, through the
message which it's school children will carry
home.
Through saving your pennies, nickles,
dimes, quarters, and buying thrift stamps and
then War-savings certificates, you will help
your country and it's gallant armies to win
the war.
