WHAT DOES 1T COST TO PRO-
OUCE WHEAT?

Now that the Government
has fixed the price of wheat,
both for the 1917 and 1918
crops, the question of actual
cost of production becomes
more interesting than eve
What is the average cost of pro-
ducinc an acre of wheat? Is a
rice of approximately So a
busheI too much7 Let US see.
A few years age the cost of
wheat was figured at from
$1,000 to $3.50 an acre, with a
few estimates running above or
below these figures. That costs
have greatly increased since
the beginning of the European
war all must admit.
In round numbers the cost of
an acre of wheat averaging is
bushels is now $40, with the
chances for still greater cost
In 1918.
Here r the figures showing
acre cost of wheat in a leading
winter wheat state: Man labor,
1878 hours at IS cents an hour,
$1.92; horse labor for 27.3 hours
at II 1-2 cents an hour, 1914;
interest, at s per cent on SIS
land, $3.50; taxes, rs cents; up
keep, 80 cents; seed q 1-2
bushels) at $2.25, 1897; use of
machinery, 80 cents; I IL
pounds of twine at II cents, rs
cents; threshing-machine hire
at 5 cents, rs cents; coal, IS
cents, marketing, 80 cents; fer
t%iIizer, 81. Total, $20.24.
A t5-bushei crop of wheat re-
moves, in the grain alone, IFS
pounds of nitrogen, FPS pounds
of phosphorus and a pound of
potassium. Buy these inere-
dients in the form of CONNER
cial fertilizer and see how much
you will have left out of 81.
So with a 15-bushel crop next
year, and with a price of So a
bushei, the wheat grower may
realize Se.75 an acre more than
his wheat cost him, provided
he has no bad luck. On a 40
acre crop this is $390-.Farm

THE RUSSIAN EMPRESS

Purporting to give the real cause
of the Russian revolution" dispatch
from London reads as follows: 1.-THE

of Hesse-D armstadt."
1t is true that the Empress was a
German Princess before her marriage
to the Car in 1904. Her father is the
hereditary Grand Duke in small Ger.
man province. and presumably many
of her closest relative are in the
German army. A tie of blood exists
between the Empress and the Kaiser,
although the relationship is not close.
Russia is, and always has been, a
land of mystery. No one outside of
the court circles has known much
about the Car before the present
crisis, and still less has been known
about the Czarina That she has at
tempted to influence her husband to
agree to separate peace with Ger

SOLDIERS PAINT FACES.
But Italians Have Not i'm Mind the
Beautifying of Themselves.

The Italians holding down trenches
in the Alps have two enemies to deal
with-the Austrians and the snow.
a.. OF the two the Italians prefer to en-
counter the Austrians. AS it is, they
have to face both and get along as
best they can. In order to do this
they supply themselves with gun
powder and rifles for the Austrians
and black grease and glasses for the
sun.
A photograph shows four members
of an Italian scouting party about to
partake of their midday meal. Their
faces and hands are besmeared with
black grease to protect them against
the burning rays of the sun, which
are doubly strong when reflected
from the snow. They prefer to use
vaseline, but that is too expensive.
The snow not only burns the faces of
troops, but it Injuries their eyes so
that sun glasses have to be worn.
Needless to say, the black grease and
the sun glasses make the Italians ex-
cellent targets against background
of white snow.
However, the Alpine Italian troops
do not always use grease and sun
glasses When there is hot fighting to
be done in the Alps they don snow
white suits and even paint their rifles
white. In such uniform they are
practically invisible.-Popular Sci
ence Monthly.

NEV PRICES ON coal.
Fixes Limit for Retail
PrOtit.

Washington, Sept 30.-Govern-
ment control over the coal industry
was made complete tonight by an
order of Fuel Administrator CARRIED
limiting the profits Of retail coal ana
coke dealers throughout the country
to a basis which is expected to bring
about an immediate reduction IN
price to the consumer.
The order effective tomorrow, di-
rects that the retailers shall fix their
prices so as to limit their gross mar
gins over cost to the average of such
gross margins during the year 1915,
plus a maximum of 50 per cent of
the 1915 margin for the month OF
July, this year, be exceeded.
Dealers Must Comply.
Local committees appointed by the
fuel administrators in each State will
see to it that the dealers comply with
the order and the dealers themselves
will be called upon to return cost
sheets showing the facts upon which
they have based their prices.
DR.. Garfield selected 1915 as nor
NAL year because the coal shortage
which resulted in continued rises in
prices did not begin until 1915. The
additional 80 per cent is allowed to
cover the increase in the retailers
cost of doing business, which has in
creased substantially during the past
two years.
Revision of Prices.
In other orders tonight the fuel ad-
ministrator made the first revisions OF
his recently fixed prices of coal at the
mine. One makes a change on an
thracite pea coal in the Pennsylvania
field as follows:
White Ashe $40 instead of 81;
Red Ashe $3.50 instead of S4.lO;
Lykens Valley 1915 instead of S4.35.
Another order revises upward the
mine prices in certain bituminous dis
tricts in which unusual conditions ex-
list, making the cost >of production
greater than in the principal bitumi-
nous fields.
