CASS LAKE WINS
LITTLE FALLS LEGION TEAM IS
TRIMMED, 1896 IN A FAST BUT
LOOSE GAME

In the first home game of the season,
the local American Legion basketball
team met defeat at the hands of the fast
Cass Lake team by score of AZ to 36.
The game was played at the high school
gymnasium and was witnessed by q
large number of people. The same
teams played again last night, but the
outcome of that game could not be Civ
en- as it took place after press time.
The game was loosely played by both
teams and their defensive work was
poor, as the score clearly indicates.
Meyers and Tourtillott played forwards
for the locals, Graham and Sims guards
and Grimes center Grimes did most
of the basket shooting for the locals,
netting the ball seven times.
McInnis center for Cass Lake, was
the most active man on the visiting
team. He made ten field baskets. He
is regarded as one Of the best basket
ball players in the state and last year
he was on the all-state five.
The locals had the bes: OF the argu-
ment in the first half, lc:: liz, their op'
ponents by score of 25 to .18, but in
the second half the visitors came back
strong, particularly in the last few min
utes Of play.

HIGH QUINT PLAYS RETURN
GAME WITH 0REDIGGERS TO-
MORROW NIGHT

Crosby and Little Falls high school
basketball teams will lock horns at the

evening for the second time this season.
Crosby has strengthened up quite bit
since Little Falls played there early in
January and good game is looked for
tomorrow night.
Next week the locals journey to
Brainerd for return game, possibly on
Friday evening. This promises to be q
hard game for the locals as Brainerd

vantage of playing on its own floor:
Basketball lovers should turn out for
the game tomorrow night and help the
locals tuck away the ninth game of the
season.

: consider is, elbow can I produce more
economically? &
The most economical production gives
the most profit when prices are high and
a small profit or the least loss when
prices are low.
One farmer in attendance stated that
by balanced rationed,. and use of pure
bred dairy sires for period Of years,
he now averaged 265 pounds of butter
fat per COW, while another farmer in at
tendance stated that his average was
about 13O- pounds per COW. In conclu-
sion Mr.. Cavert commented that if one
had the figures as to the cost of dairy
products Of 1000 different farmers in
Morrison county, that one would have
1000 different answers, probably rang
ing all the way from 40 cents per pound
Of butterfat to 80 cents per pound of
butterfat. The problem for each
farmer is first to compute by records
and estimates his cost of production and
then to carefully study his conditions to
see if costs cannot be lowered by better
feeding, better breeding and by elimin-
ating the poorest producers. \
A combination of silage and clover
hay for roughage is'a good start toward
economical feeding. ss....s - ) =

the land being in it's wild state. In the
foreground can be seen a boat. It

of Mineral Point, Wis, and Miss Bowd
Joiek. The two ladies were local mil

Another picture taken May !, 1891,
shows Mr.: Massy's first real es-
tate office in Little Falls. The building
was located where the big railway wa
ter tank now stands, south Of the pas
senger station. The railroad at that
time on the east side. The land sur
rounding the building was almost
wholly unimproved.

lug estimates were submitted Oy local
farmers as to the probable cost of an
acre Of potatoes in 1920, where ten
acres are grown per farm:
Man labor, so hrs at 40c. ...... $4,000
Horse labor, 81 hrs at &c.,. 9.1S
Eanu Ieht.. ./.... S.UO
Use Of machinery. y............... 500
Paris green, 2 lbs at 60c. ....... 1.2o
Seed, IL bushels at $500. ....... 24.OO
4OIdA $Ol 90
The man and horse labor is based up
on the use Of three horse team for
plowing, disking and dragging, the use
of horse planter, two horse cultiva-
tor, hand sprayer, a machine digger
and 18 hours of labor per acre for pick
ing up. The marketing and storing
would be in addition to the foregoing
costs. Where only one to five acres are
grown per farm, the cost per acre would
be materially advanced.
In commenting on the figures, Mr.. w.
L. Cavert, farm management extention
specialist, University Farm, st. Paul,
called attention to the fact that with
the high price of seed and labor, it
would take about 100-bushel crop to
pay the grower going wages for man
and horse labor should the price be
around zoe per bushel.
Mr.. Cavert warned that high priced
seed frequently produced low priced
crop, and advised that those who were
equipped to grow potatoes would do
well to grow the usual acreage as other
wise the special equipment could be i'd
le and the farm plans disarranged. How
ever, those who take a plunge into po-
tatoes when the seed is high in price,
frequently wish they hadn't after the
proceeds of the crop are in the bank.
To sum up, it was suggested that the
safe plan is to grow a certain acreage
each year and then to follow uniformly
one of the following systems of market
ing:
~ Always sell in the fall, getting
as much Of the crop on the early fall
market as possible. =
((2) Always store and sell in the
spring.
Always sell half on the early fall mar
ket and store half for the spring mar
ket.
Any one Of these plans will assure
one an average price over a series Of
years.The farmer who follows no con-
sistent plan, frequently gets the idea
acreage 6f potatoes, or to store pota-
toes, just at the same time that numer-
GUS other farmers get the same inspira-
ton, with the result that he frequently
gets in on the game at the wrong time.
Let each farmer follow from year to
year uniform plan as to acreage and
marketing, and then with economical
methods Of production, over a ten year
period, one is almost certain to get at
least moderate profit.

HOW MUCH DOES TT COST TO PRO-
DUCE BUTTERFAT

Under present conditions the gross
cost Of keeping an average dairy COW is
$167.87. Allowing $18.40 as the value
of the SKINNED milk, $500 for the ma
nure and $4,000 for the veal calf, the
butterfat produced will cost $l14.47.
Assuming the average production as
$50 lbs. Of butterfat, in addition to fat
tening veal calf, the cost per pound
of butterfat would be fraction over
63 cents. This was the conclusion Of q
group of farmers who discussed the sub
ject at q Farmers Institute under the
auspices Of the County Farm Bureau
at the city hall in Little Falls on Fri
day, Feb. 13. The discussion was led
by VIM. l.. Cavert, farm management
extension specialist, university farm, st.
Paul.
The estimates submitted by the far
mers in attendance are the following:
Cost TO Keep = Cow Per Year
The following are the estimates on
items of feed:
silaRe, 311 tons at $7.25. ...... .$25.37
Hay, 11s tons at $17.00. ....... $3.50
Grain, 1000 lbs. ................ 24.0o
Pasture 1000
Total feed cost. .$s4.S7
The following are the estimates on
items other than feed: =
Labor, $50 hours at 30. .$45.OO
Interest on 500 COW at 8 per
cent o'oo
Depreciation and death risk. SOY
Charge per cow for farm rent. 1000
Bull service. 1.Vo
All other items, such as marketing
ing, salt, veterinary, etc.,...... lo'oo
Total except feed. ........ .$S3. 90
The total of feed is $84.87 and for
other items the figure is $500, making
q total of $167.87 per year. From this
would be deducted tho following credits
for byproducts: no
Veal calf at 4 weeks. ...-...... $4,000
Manure ................. ..'.'' 4o'oe
Skim milk 46 cwt. at 40c ....'. 18.4O
IOCal sPoo'1V
Deducting $53.4o from $167.87 will
leave $114.47 as the cost of $50 pounds
Of butterfat or 63.5 cents per pound:
In the discussion that followed, Mr..
Cavert stated that the foregoing figures
indicate that the farmer who gets
about $50 pounds of butterfat as herd
average in addition to veal calf in
getting market prices for his feed and
labor If he sells the years product for
63.5 cents per pound. Over a period OF
wears all that an average man can ex-
pect is market prices for his feed and
labor for the reason that so many far
mers keep q few cows that are fed
larpely on feed that would otherwise go
Ito waste and cared for without increas-
ing the labor bill Of the farm as q
whole. -....-. .z.-.....
