siderationsw Exactly so; but such
advice must be made definite in order
that the lay and inefficient may not
take 1t as an excuse to loaf on the
job.
ut is true that If every factory in
the United States should make moth
Ing but collar buttons we would soon
have more collar buttons than could
be disposed Of; and the same thing Is
true Of farming. Do not be misled-
every farmer must produce all of the
corn, oats, hay, forage, wheat, strip,
Irish and sweet potatoes, vegetables,
milk, butter, fruit and all other prod
ucts Of the soil first, to properly nour-
ish his own household, and, second, to
feed the outside world.
Distribution Usually to Blame.
"The trouble is not usually in over
production. Distribution Is to blame
for most Of the trouble, although Of
course there is always the danger
that too many farmers will manufac-
ture collar buttons, so to speak, when
they ought to be balancing the worlds
ration.
"The bureau of markets has under
taken this problem-that is, to advise
so far as possible what to grow, but
the farmer is doing as he always has
done. If the price Of potatoes is high
in the fall he grows potatoes until he
gluts the market. Next year he grows
no potatoes, and the third year po-
tatoes are high again. The wise man
does not attempt to keep all Of his
eggs In one basket.
1.-THE farm is factory and the.
same advice is given to farmers that
has been adopted by other manufac-
turers: You can't make a profit I'M
less you know your costs. ( Standard
lie your products.
"No market scheme, whether Of CO.
operation or legislation, can long main
tain a superior price for an inferior
commodity.
Farmers should first maintain
themselves and family and labor on
their own farms; and this applies to
cotton in the South and to wheat In
the North. have no patience with a
pile of tin cans at the back door Of

Many theorists who are old enough
20 know better are advocating that q
man who produces all that he can
on his farm is foolish, because they
have noted at various times that small
crops have sold for more money in
the aggregate than larger crops.
Suppose in crop-failure year that
corn should 60 to $40 a bushel2 II
you have no corn what good would
that do you? Would it be better for
n few farmers who have corn to make
big money out Of the farmers in the
crop-failure section and others who
have no corn?
Suppose every man should cut
down his acreage Of cotton to boost
the price. Would the man with the
smallest amount of cotton get rich?
Nobody asks you to grow cotton at
loss; there are hundreds Of things
that can be successfully grown at
profit. Why he q slave to cotton? But
when you do grow cotton, grow on
each acre all you can proftably pro-
duce. In order to do this you will
have to know the cost of fertilizer,
labor, etc. Then it Is a matter of
arithmetic.
"There are planters who make
money year after year in cotton. They
can make money often when you can't.
Whose fault is 1t? Many fail in bust
ness-farming as well as merchandise
ing. If you can't make it pay-get
out of 1t.
Make Every Acre Work Probably.
'The principle involved is the same
as In manufacturing. The student Of
economics knows that If a plant is
not used to its full capacity there is
q consequent loss In the return on the
investment. The same is true on an
acre Of land" said Mr.. Frank Baackes,
vice president of the American Steel
& Wire company, when asked about
the cotton situation. "In the press
service of one of our middle states
colleges, the dean says, None Of our
instructors are teaching the farmer
that 1t is either his duty or to his
greater advantage under peace condi-
tons to secure a maximum produc-
ton regardless Of other economic con.

TRY Making Your OUsa
Cough Remedy
You can ave about So, and have
n better remedy than the ready
made kind. Easily done.
ITI1TS15751RT9257525

If you combined the curative proper
ties of every known "ready-made" cough
remedy, you probably could not get as
much real curative power as there is in
this simple homemade cough syrup,
which is easily prepared in a few
minutes.
Get from any druggist 2K ounces of
Pinex. pour it into a pint bottle and
fill the bottle with syrup, using either
plain graduated sugar syrup, clarified
molasses, honey, or corn syrup, as de.
sired. The result is a full pint OF
really better cough syrup than you could
buy ready-made for three times the
money. Tastes pleasant and never
spoils.
This Pinex and Syrup preparation gets
right at the cause of a cough and gives
almost immediate relief. 1t loosens the
phlegm, stops the nasty throat tickle
and heals the sore, irritated membranes
so gently and easily that it is really
astonishing.
A DAYS use will usually overcome the
ordinary cough and for bronchitis, Group,
hoarseness and bronchial asthma, there
is nothing better.
Pinex is a most valuable concentrated
compound of genuine Norway pine ex-
tract, and has been used for generations
to break up severe coughs.
To avoid disappointment. ask. your
druggist for "2R ounces of Pinex" with
full directions, and don't accept any
thing else. Guaranteed to give absolute
satisfaction or money promptly re-
funded. The Pine. Co., Ft. Wayne,
