NOW
A BUSINESS
The Modern Day Farmer Applies
Business Methods and Seeks
More Than a Living on
the Farm.

| A nationwide cry is being made for
more economy and greater production.
and probably never was the need OF
foodstuffs equal to that Of the present.
Grain prices are the highest in the ma
tion's history and today the agricul-
tural fields of America offer induce
ments that are unequaled in any other
line of commerce or business. The
ideal life Is that close to nature en-
5oying the freedom of Gods great out
doors and fulfilling duty to human
ity by producing from fertile soil
that which Is essential to the very ex-
istence of a less fortunate people who
are actually starving to death for food
stuffs that can be produced SO eco
nOmically in the United States and
Canada.
High prices for all grain, undoubt-
edly, will be maintained for a number
of years, and it appears a certainty
that the agriculturist will reap a
bounteous return for his labor and at
the same time carry out the demands
Of patriotic citizenship. A wrong con-
ception has been generally noticed as
to a large extent, considered as only
a place to live peacefully and afford
living for those who are satisfied with
merely comfortable existence. Such
wrong impression has been created,
In a measure, by the lack of systema-
tic business principles to farming in
general. But today farming and agri-
culture have been given supremacy
in the business world and require the
same advanced methods as any other
line of commerce. In no other busi
ness does n system adoption pay bet
ter than on the farm, and it is certain
that there is no other line Of work,
that, generally speaking, needs it as
much. The old idea of getting living
off the farm and not knowing how it
was made and following up the details
of each branch of farming to get the
maximum of profit, at the least ex-
pense, is fast being done away with.
Farming is now being considered as
a business and living is not sufficient
for the modern agriculturist small
per cent on the investment Is not
enough, the present-day farmer must
have percentage return equal to that
of other lines of business. The prices
for produce are high enough, but the
cost of producing has been the factor,
In many places, that has reduced the
profit. 1t is the application of sys
TEN to the cost of various work on the
farm that 1t is possible to give figures
on profits made in grain-growing in
Western Canada.
Mr.. G. A. Wright of Milo, Iowa.
bought hundred and sixty acres of
land in Western Canada for $1,000 in
December, 1915, and took his first crop
from 1t in 1916. After paying for the
land in full and the cost of cultivating
1t and marketing the grain, he sold his
grain at $1.55 bushel Ga low price
compared with the present market),
had surplus of S2,472.67. His figures
are as follows:

S. Joseph and Sons of Des Moines,
Ia, are looked upon as being shrewd,
careful business men. Having some
spare money on hand, and looking for
a suitable investment, they decided to
purchase Canadian lands, and farm
them.
With the assistance Of the Canadian
Government Agent, at Des Moines, Ia,
they made selection near Champion,
Alberta. They put 240 acres Of land
in wheat, and in writing to Mr.. Hew-
lit, The Canadian Government Agent
at Des Moines, one of the members of
the firm says: II have much pleasure
In advising you that on our farm five
miles east of Champion, In the Prov
ince Of Alberta, Canada. this year
(1918) we harvested and threshed 10,-
coo bushels Of wheat from 24O acres,
this being an average Of A bushels
and 10 pounds to the acre. con-
siderable portion of the wheat was

Ing total return Of $19,810, or nm av-
erage Of $s1.70 per acre gross yields.
And by aid Of thorough system were
able to keep the cost Of growing wheat
at about 25 cents bushel.."
Messrs. Smith & Sons Of Vulcan,
Alberta. are growers Of wheat ON a
large scale and have demonstrated
that there is greater profit in Western
Canada wheat-raising than probably In
any other business anywhere. Speak
ing Of their experience Mr.. Smith
says:
