presenting the Victrola, Roark pub

Wheat Production To Muhlenberg
County.


According to recently revised es-
Inmates for the production of wheat
in Muhlenberg county, wheat can
be produced at a prof. and fits into
the rotation n way that makes its
planting not only patriotic but ne
cessity for better farming.
The figures for the cost of grow
ing au acre of wheat, including all
items of cost and estimated a their
possible highest, show that wheat
may be produced at a cost of from
SI.5o TO ST IS per bushel In this
county, and that the average cost is
somewhere around 81 o6 3 per
bushel.

If you subtract the s. which Is
cost of blowing, since frequently it
Is not necessary to pillow for wheat,
as when it follows tobacco or corn
you have a cost of SAG, which, with
yield of II bushels per acre makes
cost of 81 &C 2-3 pfr bushel. 1t
must be understood that this is to
include everything at its highest
price.
The question Of profit in VINE a
finally resolves itself into one of
yield Fer acre, since it is plainly
seen that if the man whose wheat
costs him $40 per acre had secured
20 bushels per acre, which is per-
fectly practical and possible On all
Muhlenbcrg county soils, it would
only cost him 81 per bushel to raise
wheat. which would mean a clear
profit of Sal per acre. On 10 acres
of wheat this would mean a clear
profit of S2Io. On the other hand,
with yield Of 10 bushels per acre
and cost of $40 for producing and
marketing of an acre of wheat, II
would cost 81 per bushel TO raise
wheat, and the net income from &c
acres would only be 50 cents. 1t is
very easy see that the question oil
profit in wheat resolves itself into
one of securing larger yield pei
acre from the wheat raised, and thai
/ the farmer who is improving his sol
and raising his yield per acre is the
man who will make a good profit
from wheat.
Besides, the man who raises wheat
discharges debt which each OF u:
owe to our Government. We car
not all bear arms and cross the sea:
to battle with the ferocious Hun,
but each man who is left behind car
perform an equally patriotic service
if he can not fight, by producing
that food which is so necessary tc
the sustaining Of life of our soldiers
Therefore, it is our duty as citizens
to grow this wheat, and from a per
sonal standpoint 1t is our duty to in
crease the yield per acre, through
better methods of farming, to suct
a point that this wheat will not b,
produced at sacrifice.
