error is divided among so many BUSH

any great difference in the cost OF
each bushel OF course, the greater,
the proportion Of receipts from wheat,
the smaller becomes the possible err

error whatever from this cause
There. are lot OF wheat growers
in the northwest who could quite cas-
lily determine their own cost of grow
ing wheat by this method. provided
that wheat sales constitute the greater
part Of their receipts. 1t would be
much easier and much simpler than
the customary way of recording all
labor and material costs for this crop
separate from the other crops. There
is no puzzling over what part of the
feed, taxes, insurance. and other
joint costs should be charged against
the wheat. All the costs are simply
added together and divided between
the wheat and the other products &C.
cording to their importance as . farm
receipt An added advantage is that
all the little expenses such as fence
repairs. horscshoeing, machinery re-
pairs. and building insurance, which
might otherwise be overlooked, are
here included and are probably more
properly divided.
What Should Be Done.
Farmers who are interested in the
studying of their wheat cost (or any
cost should do four things:
I. Take a complete inventory of
all real estate, livestock, machinery.
feed and supplies on hand at the be-
ginning Of the year.
2. Record the farm receipts and ex.
penses as they occur throughout the
year. Just simple daybook is most
practical.
). Take complete inventory at the
end Of the year.
4. Summarize the years business.
When properly summarized the fig
ures will show the taxable income,
they will show the farmers returns
for his years labor, or the percent re-
turn on investment. and If one pro-
duct predominates (such as wheat In

mined by the method described in this

The county agents and the farm

requests for assistance from farmers

distant when farmers will know a
great deal more about what their

II will be seen from the table that

wheat on the whole l07 farms was g

different groups from rs cents per

cents and 50 cents per bushel on the
groups having the most land in sum

groups all produced wheat in a large
enough proportion to make the meth
cd reasonably accurate.

a dollars worth of oats or beef or

MUST
CONSIDER COST
OF PRODUCTION
Profits Depend On Two Factors
and Of These One Is Entirely
Within Control, Specialist
Says
By c. c. Taylor. Farm Management
Demonstrator. Universisy of Idaho,
Extension Division.

Farm profits depend As much on
what Il costs to produce as on the
price received. and the cost Of pro-
duction Is much more within the con-
troll OF the individual farmer than is
the price. Farmers recognize that it
is a. important for them to know
their cost Of production as II is for
the manufacturer. the lumberman, or
the miner, to know his costs, but they
have not paid greater attention to this
feature of their business because they
have not realized how simple and how
practical it really is.
A simple and ingenious method Of
determining the approximate cost Of
producing wheat, for example, was
used by Extension Director L. w.
Fluharty while he was In the employ
OF the office OF farm management Of
the United States department of agri-
culture. He simply charged the total
farm expenses to the wheat in proper
ton to the importance Of wheat as a
farm receipt If 80 per cent of the re-
ceipts were from wheat. then he charg
ed 80 per cent Of the total expenses
as the cost Of producing the wheat
Figures Agree Closely.
Mr.. Fluharty had obtained reports
from l07 wheat farmers in the east
ern part of the Palouse country who
had received 50 per cent or more Of
their incomes from wheat in 1914. No
farms were included which received
as much as 50 per cent Of their re-
ceipts from all other sources COM
bined, because the accuracy Of this
method Of getting wheat cost decreas-
es as the percentage of receipts from
wheat becomes less. In order to make
sure that the limit was set high
enough. these l07 farmers divided
their business records into groups
according to the importance of wheat
as source Of income and the cost
of producing 4 bushel Of wheat was
figured separately for each group
The cost. ranging from rs cents to
88 cents per bushel was so nearly
the same for each group that we may
conclude that the limit was a wise
selection. What variation there was
can be largely attributed to the diff
ference In yield and the difference in
the amount of summer fallow.
The figures showing how the cost
of production was figured are given
here. They show what it cost to pro-
duce wheat in 1914 on l07 farms in
northern Idaho and eastern Washing
ton which had so per cent or more
of their receipts from wheat OF
course the figures are much lower
than at present but the method is
the same and is clearly shown.

Buying a Farm and
Renting Other Land

1t is often possible to purchase a
small area and then increase the size
of the business by renting adjoining
lands. This practice permits the farm
er to operate a good-sized business
with a limited capital and at the same
time gives him greater security than
if he had no property of his own and
rented the entire business.
Such practice is a stepping ssonc
which many men use in changing from
the status of the renter to that of the
owner. 1t is a practice which can be
followed only in regions where land is
really available for renting and where
grain farming or general farming is
followed. The practice would hardly
be possible in dairying or other live
stock farming, where the production
of roughage and other feeds for the
herd was required. Some years GER
tain lands might not be available for
renting, and this would mean a de
cided reduction in the herd.
Again, this practice might be fol
lowed with the idea of eventually
buying adjoining lands. This ques'
ton. therefore, is one which should
he looked into carefully before making
the venture,

The science of food values is one
that is of very recent development
and it is really amazing to see how
many false theories-superstiti
if you will-we still cling to in our
opinions of food Even the woman
who has made a scientific study of the
matter, will discover every once in a

opinion about food that she has chung

here are some of these fallacies that
seem to persist with lot of us.
1t is the popular idea that bananas
are far richer in nutriment than any
other sort of fruit and it has even
been said that one could maintain life
on bananas alone. Now, as a matter
of fact, bananas are not so much mora
nourishing than any other fruit. Al
the present price we have to pay they
are less valuable as food. According
to table on the comparative cost
of the total nutrients and energy in
fruit published a year ago-and
bananas are more expensive now than
then-you can get 1857 Galleries Of

apples and only 1872 when you buy

Germ on it's delivery equipment had
definite advertising value" he said.
Its continuance, to my mind, is merely
a form of business egotism In the
case of the installment houses it IS
a costly egotism, for there are many
women who are deferred from buying
furniture that way because they do
not want to tip off her neighbors to
their financial condition, which is done
when the stuff is delivered. For that
matter, stores that do not make a
practice of selling furniture and other
goods on the installment plan, because
of the expense of collections, &C, are
also not getting all there is coming
to them. At least one legitimate
method has been devised whereby the
collections can be attended to at a
trivial cost by an outside concern,
and stores which do not take advan-
tage of it to go in for, or increase,
their installment trade are overlooking
a good proposition"

the way textbooks on business tell
one to sum up the proposition or GO

your establishment, when you have
savings to disburse.
"4-Institute an adequate system of

Swiss Forest Crops
Worth Having

The Swiss, among other European
peoples, solved the problem of a con-
tinuous supply of lumber years ago.
Zurich, in Switzerland, has a $500
acre communal forest, regularly re-
newed by scientific forestation meth
DDS, which yields the community $780,
900 a year, or about 81 an acre. The
annual crop" of trees goes mainly
for firewood Thus forestry not only
safeguards agricultural lands against
damage from the elements and bene-
fits the climate, but also affords
direct, well-paying business.

Thus, it came to pass that few
