TURNING ACRES into
DOLLARS FOR WASHBURN

go thirty bushels to the. acre,
bringing over $50 on the'rharlet.
Oats will go 60 bushels.lto the
acre with a value of $4,000. Rye
will go 18 bushels to the acre
with value of $27.00. Straw
berries will net from S125. 90 an
acre and up. Clover hay !, will
average $37.50 per acre on a
small yield. This it is shown
what an acre of land will pro-
duce under ordinary conditions,
The first years crops would
more than pay for the sdcost of
the dynamite with interest, be-
sides giving the farmer some
thing besides. From that time
on the cleared land land would
be that much gain for the far
mer.
Starting with $25, 200 in capital
this would furnish enough
dynamite to clear upwards of
1000 acres of land. If the value
of the crops from this land
would average $50 per acre. and
according to the above figures
on average yields it would easily
do this, then this would give this
vicinity an income Of oVer$50,-
0O0 per annum over what is be-
ing now received on the un-
developed land. ~
The people who furnish the
money for this enterprise would
be nothing out for there would
be no losses and the money
would be returned to them again
in the three year period, besides
paying them 6 per cent on their
investment. AS the money is
paid back by the farmer it could
be used over and over again. In
the ten year period with proper
financing the original capital
could be used until it would a.
mount to s quarter of 81 million
dollars which had been used in
clearing theland, or 10, ,000aeres
of cleared ground. 4
After the very first year, pro-
viding the 1000 acresis cleared,
the returns ought be upwards Of i
$50, 900. Using the original
capital over again more land
would be cleared and the income
would grow until the total would
be something enormous. Think
what this would mean to Wash
burn in a 10 to 20 year period.
Could the merchants of Wash
burn find an industry that would
pay bigger returns in the way
of increased business than would
the development of land adjacent
to the city. 1t is a good propo-
sition to talk over and figure
out.
County Agent V. E. Brubaker
would willingly assist in this
proposition and give what advice
he can on proposition of this
kind. Local interests could
easily finance the proposition.

Monster Industry Could Easily Be
Financed Here at Home
Could Finance a Business That Would
Make Washburn Gov
and Prosper.

of the farmer who owned a strip
of land on which there was a
small stream, who kicked
precious stones about for years,
not knowing their value, and
who later sold his farm and went
in search of a diamond mine
which would make him wealthy
for life how he went broke in
his new venture and after many
years returned again to the old
homestead for visit, only to
find that the stones which he
had kicked about for years dur
ing his early life had turned out
to be precious gems.
We believe the merchants OF
Washburn have been kicking
the precious stones" about for
years, which if they had given
attention, would have made them
prosperous and contented, by
not giving their time and at
tention to the development of
the land round about US. We
have in the making one of the
greatest industries right here at
home in our undeveloped land,
yet we are continually devoting
our energies toward developing
other industries which are not
quite so sure Of returns.
Take for example this. If the
business men of the city, work
ing with the local banks, would
finance the farmers Of the i'm
mediate vicinity of Washburn in
the purchase of dynamite and
other explosives to the extent
of say $4,000, think what this
would bring in the way of re-
turns for the first year, and then
what it would continue to bring
year in and year out for the
years to come.
The business men OF the city
could organize a company or cor
poration with a capital stock of
SOS, 900, part of which would be
payable in cash at once and the
balance could be paid as it was
needed. With this amount of
money this company or corpor-
alton could work with the local
banks and purchase dynamite or
other explosives at cost and sell
the same to the farmers of this
vicinity without profit.
The plan we would suggest
would be to furnish the farmer
with the explosive, taking his
notes in payment, allowing the
farmer to pay back the principle
in from one and one half to three
years. paying the interest
monthly.
By purchasing dynamite in
large lots it could be bought for
$500 per hundred. The "a
mount of dynamite which would
be required to clear the average
acre of land around Washburn
would be around $23.00. The
interest cost per annum to the
la. lner for every acre of land
cleared on which the dynamite
had been furnished under this
arrangement would be about
l.4O.
The value of an uncleared acre
of land is practically nothing so
far as crops are concerned, yet.
the cash value of a cleared acre
of land to the farmer would be
around $65.00. This is based on
figures furnished by County
Agent Brubaker. For instance
the average yield of peas for
this locality is 27 bushels, which
at $3.50 per bushel would be
$94.5O. Peas can be grown as
easily as oats. The potato aver
age for the state is 125 bushels
to an acre with a value of $500
per acre when the market price

fifths of the total of these commodi
ties went to the western Allies, bring
ing our exports to them up to 339 per
cent more than pre-war average.
In the export of animal fats. except
dairy products, the average of pre-war
years to all countries amounted to
326, 019 tons, with shipment of 2200S5
tons last year showing decrease OF
32.5 per cent. In the pre-war years
little less than one-third of our total
in these exports went to the United
Kingdom, France, and Italy, Last
year these countries received nearly
one-half of our available surplus OF
this commodity.
In the exports of vegetable oils. oil
cake, and meal, 1,088,611 tons repre-,
scented our average pre-war shipment.
The last fiscal year shows we shipped
ISL 500 tons, representing decrease
of So per cent, the exports to the Al.
lies showing a decrease of 62 per cent.
The average of three pre-war years
exports of dairy products to ell coun-
tries totals 1903 tons. Last years
exports were 295,9O8 tons, or an in.
crease of 2,173 per cent. The increase
of dairy products to the Allies was
more than $4,000 per cent. making
our total to them nearly Is times as
great as the pre-war average of the
exports to all countries.
In addition to these exports the war
has developed some of its own. Sugar,
molasses, and strip, during the pre-
war years. were sent on an average OF
230, Oe2 tons. Last year our shipments
were increased IA per cent in these
commodities or 40O.395 tons. The ex-
porting of dried fruits and vegetables
which had amounted to 1918 tons
| before the war, was increased to 1885,.
| 369 tons or 28.4 per cent increase.
The climax of statistics being in the
| grand total, the producers will be in
terested in knowing that the average
three pre-war years shipments in
these various groups represented g.
| 1872, 139 tons. During the last year the
| American producers have sent instead
9,79O,891 tons and this years pledge,
made before millions OF additional sui,
ferers were liberated, represents e
shipment of 20.000.000 tons.

Upon the heels of the hunger map,
the food administration presents one
showing the countries from which Eu-
rope must get its food. It does not
take many hours study of this outline
to impress upon the people OF the
United States their responsibilities.
The arrows show that the United
States alone can furnish part OF each
commodity needed. Canada will send
bread stuffs, meat, and animal and
vegetable fat, the United States can
send bread stuffs, meat, sugar-not
only from it's own immediate territory
but from Cuba, Hawaiian Islands. and
the Philippines and both animal and
vegetable fats; the Argentine will con-
tribute bread stuffs and meat; India
will send bread stuffs: Australia will
send meat and bread stuffs; and New
Zealand will contribute its share of
meat.
Coincident with the sending Of this
map the food administration is pub
fishing a summary showing the In
creasing extent to which farmers of
the United States today are. supply
ing foreign markets with food. The
farmer who makes a study of these
figures will understand more fully the
need of the producer for keeping we'll
informed on food conditions abroad if
sufficient of the commodities, greatest
in demand, are to be produced.
The average export of cereals to all
countries for the three years proceed
ing the war amounted to 1854, 406
tons. For the last fiscal year ending
July, 1918, our producers shipped to
all countries 7,541,006 tons of cereals
representing an increase of COS per
cent During this time the cereal ex-
ports to the three great western Allies,
the United Kingdom, France, and Italy,
increased more than $50 per cent
and were about 80 per cent larger than
our total average of pre-war exports
to all countries.
The average three pre-war years
showed shipment of meat and fish to
all countries amounting to 277,874
tons The last fiscal year showed a
shipment of 9S6,50S tons-an increase
Of 255 per cent. More than four
