r. l.. Bsrka Figures on Cost Of Produe
ing Alfalfa and Beans

Last week In our article showing the
cost of producing crops, we found that
in cost on the +. Rrem farm SO cents
to produce n pound OF Pink beans and
S3172 to produce ton OF alfalfa. In
comparison with that we wish to give
this week the cost of producing the
same crops on the Mrs Cummings farm
whic Is farmed by Mr., +. l.. Barka.
As most are familiar, this farm has
a very excellently equipped electric
pumping plant which supplies under
Government test about 1000 gallons OF
water per minute. This large flow of
water enables man TO cover fully
twice the acreage OF land In the same
time as that flow on the f. Brem farm
Hence, Mr.. Barka's labor costs in irri-
eating the same acreage, as Mr. Brem
would be just one-half, as it requires
just about all of mans time to lrrigate
whether his stream is large or small.
In the following figures we shall give
the averages only under main heads
of both the overhead and direct
charges as given in the cost survey
blank.
l. Overhead charges:
l. Land and land improve
ments, average per acre---S 2.S9

3. Farm implement charge,

Five Months After Armistlee Signed
Welfare Body Has $3.50
"Over There"

Five months after the signing of the
armistice the Young Mems Christian
association had $3.50 workers over
seas, according to an official statement
issued by the national war work coun-
Gil Of the association. The figure
shows an increase of 728 workers since
last November, indicating that the Y.
nj. c. A. has strengthened its forces,
despite the return Of troops to Amer
lea, to meet the greater need for Its
work that came with the end of the
fighting.
OF the total number, 5.52S are men,
a small portion OF whom are directing
the "Y" overseas wo.S from the Paris
headquarters, while the great majority
are scattered from Archangel to Rome
and from ylad:vostok to Brest and
London and the north of Scotland.
There are 2,1s7 women workers
abroad. Most OF these are helping to
give pleasure to the men who go to the
Y. NJ. Q. A. leave areas, ON the Riviera,
at AK les Bains, at Cauterets In the
hhutes fyreneeS, ana elsewhere. More
than 40 are assisting In the motion
picture entertainment OF the troops.
In the overseas entertainment bu-
reau of the war work council there
are 635 mel and women workers
abroad. OF these, 1852 were recruited
by the Overseas Theater league work
ers-125 men and 227 women. The
remainder. 2S3, were enlisted by the
"Y" entertainment section.
Since the beginning Of its overseas
work, the Y. NJ. q. A. has sent IL ,220
men and women abroad-S,33S men
and 2,S91 women. OF these, 2,6i5 men
and 234 women have returned, eleven
were killed In action, three died of
wounds and SO from disease and other
causes.

Luna County Farm Bureau i'm Line
With Government Plans TO Make
Study Of Cost Of Production

For several months the Farm Bureau
has been working ON determining the
costs Of producing crops in this country
and now the announcement comes In
the Weekly News Letter that the Gov
ernment is planning to make study Of
the cost of production i'm a large way.
Secretary Houston has requested an
additional fund of S6il. 800 for this pur-
pose and he has asked that the name
Of the Office Of Farm Management be
as Chief OF the Office OF Farm Manage,
ment and Farm Economics.
~he task Of carrying out the program
of this new Bureau has been assigned

operated farm In Wisconsin and was
head of the agricultural department OF

the studies relating to the cost Of pro-
duclng crops. The service OF other
distinguished men have also been Sc
cured to assist in different branches of
this work. But II appears that EN-

In this connection we may reveal
what cannot be kept a secret much
longer aud that Is the desire OF a few
men among whom is Mr.. +. L. Nord-

tion farm that will put into effect the
above mentioned suggestions.
The idea OF county demonstration
farm is appealing TO us and II would
particularly have its stroh, features
foI Luna county owing to.the fact II
the many failures that have been made
here. A county demonstration farm
would prov, on disrrove that farming
can be done profitably and either result
would be welcome and would save
many a heartache and wreck. II the
Demonstration farm could show that
q profit could be- made II would reveal
what the most feasible type Of farming
would be the most successful. II the
farm proved that farming could not bc
done successfully II would keep many
an innocent sucker FROM spending his
la. dollar
II you are Interested In this idea Of
a county demonstration farm will you

Mr.. Barka's overhead charges OF

makes a total of S30.41 cents to pro
duce one acre of beans. The averag,
yield ON these II acres was 41t
pounds, which makes production cost
of just "A cents per pound. Mr.
Barka sold these beans for 8 IL cents
to 61-2 per pound, the average selling
price being 80 cents per pound. This
caused Mr.. Barka to lose $500 on his

Mr.. Barka's figures show that he is
producing his alfalfa crop at a cost of
Sl4.33 per acre.

Add TO this, the overhead charge Of

On these GO acres Mr. Barka pro-
duced last year an average Of 31i tons,
which would amount TO Sl4.33 to pro

Next week we hope TO give figures
on a farm where IL cost S25.03 TO pro

May we state in this connection that
we wish more of our farmers would

Tho Yankee II was an eighty-five foot boat, of 36 tons burden and the loss is placed at S7I5OO.
 When off Cape Spencer there was . gale blowing which the little craft tusSled against for five hours, during most of which time, the waves Were breaking over the cabin.
