FIRST OF GOVERNMENT CONTROL
MEASURES PASSED eY HOUSE
WITHOUT ROLL CALL.
ESTIMATE RESOURCES
OVER 1900 FEDERAL EMPLOYEES
AND 10000 VOLUNTEERS
WILL REPORT CROPS.
Western Newspaper Union News Service.


Washihgton.-The administration's 8
food survey bill, first of the food con-
troll measures, was passed by the
House Monday without a record vote.
1t appropriated $14.77O.00O for an i'm
mediate investigation of the country's
stimulate production. A similar bill
is under debate in the Senate.
The Agriculture Department ex-
poets to present fairly accurate es-
innate of food resources within three
weeks after the bill is signed by the
President, Secretary Houston said.
AS soon as the measure becomes a
law the department will start its H.
900 employees and the 100000 ~volun-
tary crop reporters to work on the
investigation.
The preliminary report to be made
within three weeks will be supple
mented with monthly reports and
probably by further complete report
within six months If necessary.
Material gathered will be turned
over to Herbert C. Hoover. who will
be named to head a food administra-
ton as soon as the pending regula-
tory food measure becomes law.
The survey bill passed virtually as
1t came from the committee.
Miss Rankin, the woman representa-
tive from Montana. inserted an amend
ment which would require the Depart
ment OF Agriculture to use women in
the survey work wherever practicable.
AS originally drawn, the bill carried
more than $lS.OOO.O0O. but committee
changes reduced the total.
These are the principal amounts ap-
propriated For seeds. $5.77S.OOO; edu-
cation for increasing production by
waste elimination and conservation.
$4,34S. 400; general survey. $2.522.OOO:
eradication OF live stock diseases and

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
fOOdstufrs 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-
jOying the freedom of Gods great out
doors and fulfilling duty to humans
ity by producing from fertile soil
that which Is essential to the very ex-
istence of 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 number
of years. and 1t appears certainty
that the agriculturist will reap II
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 Life on the Farm" 1t has been.
to large extent, considered as only
place to live peacefully and AFFORD
living for those who are satisfied with
merely Il 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 IA 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 1t is certain
that there is no other line of work,
that. generally speaking, needs 1t as
much. The old idea of getting n living
off the farm and not knowing how 1t
was made and following up the details
of eaCA 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
business and living Is not sufficient
for the modern agriculturist; IL 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 u 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.. c. A. Wright of Milo, Iowa.
bought Il 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 n bushel Ia low price
compared with the present markell,
had surplus of s2,472.67. His figures
