RAYMER BONDS
BRING PREMIUM

Offers for Raymer's proposed wa
ter bonds were received at meet
ing Of the Council on Monday even
ing.
The next morning 1t was decided
that 1t would pay the town to have
a committee go to Denver and inter-
view the bond houses with the re-
suit that Raymer Bonds will be sold,
II the proposal meets with the ap-
proval of the voters. for a premium
OF 800 per thousand. together with
all accrued interest at the time of
the delivery OF the bonds. The bond
house will furnish all legal advice.
prepare all forms, notices to be pub
lished. etc.
While in Denver the committee
visited engineers, supply houses and
feel that they have learned a gooA
many things that will be of adyan-
tage in the construction OF the wa
ter works being contemplated
We have not seen where any bonds
OF this sort have been disposed OF
for better than par, and most Of the
notices OF recent sales have been for
from one to two per cent discount.
Raymer prospects must look good
to financiers, when its bonds bring
premium and government bonds
are moving slow under the impetus
OF patriotic demand that they be
bought, and the former Liberty bonds
are at discount in New York.

RAINS BRING SMILES
TO FARMER FACES

Last Sunday was not only day
OF rest, but JOY as well to all of this
section. OF course, no one had ad-
mitted that We needed rain SO very
badly. but there had been so many
promises Of rain that had failed TO
bring any moisture. that some
began to get wee bit fearful that
the weather was going to get the
habit and take the season out In
making faces at us.
But Sunday morning it began to
thicken just little and then started
out with trifie of mist and kept
getting just a little heavier until
during the night there was quite a
steady quiet rain that continued up
to noon Monday. winding up with a
few fakes OF snow that melted as
soon as they struck the ground.
Every drop that fell found its
work ready for IL and scarcely one
OF the tiny life-giving drops ran off
to make mischief.
Perhaps some of the school trucks
were late or failed to make all OF
their routes. but not complaint
was heard. and If there had been,
we could have laughed at the com
plant Could not have got scrap
out Of any one this week.
We shall need some more rain
all right enough. but the dry spell
seems broken, the windows of heaven
have opened little, and so far con
ditions are fine, crops look promis-
ing and the ground is in splendid
shape to crowd the farm work along.

COST OF FARM PRODUCTION
Is A VITAL THING
(By O. s. Rayner)

Some people worry a good deal
about the low yields per acre in this
country compared with certain Eu-
ropean countries. Again the argu-
ment is offered that high yields
mean low prices to the farmer,
which is generally true. Yet this
is no reason why any individual.
farmer should go slow on produc-
tion on his own farm. The thing
for each farmer to drive for is max
imum production at the least possi-
BILE cost.
II often hapens that two men will
put about the same amount OF work
on their fields and one may get a
yield OF 20 bushels and the other
get yield Of 40 bushels. The DIFF
ference may be due to better seed
or more efficient cropping system
But any way when the cost OF pro-
duction per acre Is about the same
on the two farms and one gets twice
the yield of the other. there is big

federal Reserve Board Gives Result
Of Inquiry Made by its
Agents.

washington, d. c.-The federal re-
serve board made public summaries of
reports from federal reserve agents
throughout the country In answer to
a questionable recently sent out to
ascertain the extent of business and
Industrial readtustment. The reports
showed In general large stocks on
hahd by manufacturers and dealers
and lessened demand, with prices de-
creasing in many cases.
A typical example OF the reports
from Industrial districts was afforded
by the tabulafion Of replies to ques-
tions from business concerns In the
Philadelphia federal reserve district.
These questions and iclassifed replies
were as follows:
Are the quantities OF materials, sup
plies, and goods as shown by your last
Inventory larger than usual? Yes.
ia; no, 100.
Are they principally for war or
civilian business? War work, 20; civ.
ilian business, 221.
Have the prices 1T your product
been lower recently from the high
prices prevailing during the war? Yes.
14S; no, 93.
Is labor more abundant? Yes, 225 |;
no. 81.
Is labor less restlcss7 Yes, 147;
no. 81.
Is there less unemployment? Yes,
1856; no, 62.
Is labor more efficient?, Yes, 80; no,
l42.
Has there been any lowering Of
wages? Yes. II; no. 22s.
Are you paying less forrraw mate

Have you a sa.isfactorys amount Of
orders on hand? Yes, 81; no, l50

difference in cost per bushel. This
is an illustration of economical pro-
duction, and II seems to have its ef-
feet upon income.
Records from men in certain
county showed that those who got
the poorer yields had an average in
come OF $3.50, compared with 1910
for the men with average yields and
those with yields better than the
average got sS43.
Another illustration OF efficient
production is found in returns from
live stock. II is certainly poor poll
cy to put 500 worth OF feed into
stock and get only 80 returns. Yet
this often happens. 1t may be due
to drop in prices which cannot be
foretold, but on the other hand IT
may be due to a poor quality O,
stock or failure to feed properly bal
anced and efficient rations. Records
from farms show that in one com
munity some men got only s55 while
others got as high as $500 returns
for each 500 worth OF feed fed the
stock. And the incomes of these
men were almost in the same pro-
portion.
The quality Of the crops, and live
stock produced has lot to do with
the efficiency Of production and this
naturally reflects on the farmer s
income.
