COST BODY is .
RECOMMENDED
FOR FARM AID
Commissioner of Agriculture
Wants Legislature to Make
Appropriation
EMPLOYMENT AGEN CIES
Commissioner Hagan Holds Di-
versification of Farming is
Success Secret

The creation of cost commission
charged with the duty of ascertaining
the cost Of producing farm products
In North Dakota, is recommended by
John Hagan, commissioner of agricul-
ture and labor in North Dakota
Other recommendation Of the COM
missioner, made in his biennial re-
port, made public today, include:
Creation of state employment agcn-
cieS to cooperate with federal EN-
pl0yment, agencies manufacture OF
brick and tile from clay deposits by
the state for use in farm buildings
placing all paid employment agencies
under supervision of state department
rather than leave them under control
Of city commissions; state finance sys-
TEN to aid tenants to buy farms.
Mr. Hagan would maintain three
permanent employment offices, the
funds to be provided by the state and
federal government. He would have
the legislature appropriate funds for
two or three more offices, to be MAIN
tanned during the harvest season.
Declaring that it is necessary that
farmers closely figure the cost Of pro-
duction, and that detailed informa-
ton is necessary for use in further
ing the industry, he recommends the
establishment Of a cost commission.
DivprSificatiOn Essential
Diversification of farming is neces~
sary if farmers are to be successful,
the commissioner says. Endeavoring
to determine the cost Of producing
wheat, missionaries were sent out
to several hundred farmers. Over 300
replies were received.
From these replies the commission
er concludes that the cost OF produc-
ing wheat in the state during 1913
averaged $2.1S per bushel and in 1919,
averaged $3.76 per bushel. He con-
cludes that the ldss per bushel to the
farmer was SIS in 1919 and Sl.35; III
1918 4
"The question naturally occurs to
those who have not given these mat
ters more than cursory consideration
how does it come that many or the
wheat farmers Of North Dakota appear
to be making money and are buying
additional land, improving their
farms, buying automobiles, ETC.? The
answer to the question is that these
farmers are not succeeding by reason
Of their wheat crop, except in those
isolated instances where they have
been fortunate enough to raise crop
each year far in excess OF the state
average. They have succeeded per
haps because they have been shre"d
enough to perceive that there was no
real money in wheat raising and have
engaged in dairying, hog, horse or beer
cattle industries, making small grain
farming only a fair proportion OF the
farm schedule
Suggesting a remedy the commits
sioner advises farmers "to cease oper-
ating improbable industry engage III
more diversified farming activities;
nractice better cultural methods;
keen books on your daily and yearllng
business so that you may know when
you are operating at loss"
Land tenancy, he declares, is in
creasing even in North Dakota.

MJJSKRATS SEE
A MILD WINTER

The muskrat says it will be a mild
winter.
He tells this to Indian trappers
and they report it. This is how they
reach their conclusion:
Muskrats are building their
"bouses" close to the banks Of streams.
This indicates they believe the winter
will be mild and there is no danger
of the passageway from the middle OF
the stream to their houses being
blocked. When cold winters are
ahead, they build their houses far
out from the bank. Anyway, that is
what the Indian says.
