Farmers Ups and Downs.

The farmers crop usually has
a conflict with enemies. II may
be drought, or excessive rainfall,
or temperature, or insects, or
bacteria, or mold, or sun spots.
There ls no other business that
has such an array of formidable
opponents.
Consumers must reimburse
the farmer for this loss, or he
will become lnsolvent and agri-
culture must cease. 10 the case
of corn, for instance, there are
always annual variations from
the average yield per acre for a
period of years, and often there
i, a sharp upward or downward
turn from one year to the next.
In 1901, memorable IN corn
history, a protracted drought
in. the corn helt reduced the
yield per acre for the United
States to 1877 bushels, or to
about two-thirds OF the usual
yield, but such yield was some
what exceeded the following
year.
Corn production was almost
impossible in Kansas In 1913
when the nominal yield per acre
was only 32 bushels, although
the average of the 10 years end
ing with 1917 Is II 5 bushels and
the production now and then In
Individual years is more than 20
bushels and reached 81 bushels
IN 1912. In Illinois IN 1918 the
corn yield per acre fell 20 per
cent. below the average Of the 10
years mentioned and 32 per cent.
below the yield per acre OF the
preceding year. During the
last 10 years, the corn yield per
acre 10 the great corn state Of
Iowa has ranged from 80 TO 43
bushels, a difference between ex
tremes of 10 bushels, or 43 and
30 per cent. respectively, ofthe
extremes and 81 per cent. Of the
average yield OF ten years.
AS a corn raiser the far mer is
gam bier against the forces and
living things Of nature, and If at
times he loses at other times be
must win, and IN the long run
the prices Of the products that
he sells must be high enough to
put him "ahead Of the game"
