Merchants and Farmers
Cooperate In Iowa

AMES, Ia.-Something new in CO.
operation between retail implement
dealers and farmers was successfully
arranged in Hancock county, Iowa,
this summer in the establishment of
a "Cash for Binder Irvine Week"
It was the agreement that farmers
would buy their binder Irvine sup
ply from Hancock county dealers
that week, paying cash for it, and
that the dealers would sell it at a
price somewhat below the regular
retail price. Every dealer in the
county except three entered into the
arrangement and the farm bureau
members generally bought their
Irvine supply at home instead of
sending away for considerable part
of it, as had been customary for some
years to an increasing extent.
The price generally agreed upon
as fair was Is cents per pound, al
though in one instance dealer sold
for Is cents. On the former basis
the saving was 1 cent per pound.

Shows Labor Various
CrOnS Require

The approximate amount of labor
required to raise some of the more
important crops has been determin-
ed by recent farm studies conducted
by the office Of farm management,
United States department of agri-
culture. The results show that it
requires the work of one man and
one horse for ten-hour day to cut,
cure and harvest an acre of hay.
Oats, wheat, barley, rye, buckWheat
and millet consume more labor; I'M
der normal conditions these grains
days and for the horse three days.
Corn for the silo in the central states
consumes three days of man labor
and ffty-fve days of horse work
Tobacco in Kentucky uses thirty-fve
days of man labor against eight
days for the farm horse, but onions
as determined through studies in
Ohio, sold in punches, top the list
of vegetables in the amount of man
labor they require. Onions use 149
days of man work, but only ten of
horse work. Beets and carrots, also
sold in punches, come next, with
eighty-two man-days to each acre
and eight days horse labor.
1t is interesting to note that a
horse, in the eastern states, requires
tWelve-hour days per year from his
master to care for him, and he con-
tributes only three-quarters of one
day to his own upkeep-hauling feed,
etc. Dairy cows need eighteen days
from the marfd and two from has
horse each year.
These figures are given in farmers
bulletin 1899, to aid the farmer in
an analysis of his business. They
will be useful in assisting the farm
operator to estimate his labor needs
for the next season

are not contented. They demand
more. Only last week there was a

ment to express companies of $30,-

whet the appetite for another raise

Every raise comes out of the con-

growth and strengthens with its
strength. 1t is leading to a crisis.
What that crisis will uncover or pre-
cipitate no man knows, but when

The exodus of colored labor from
my immediate section is very mark
ed in many of its features. AS time
rolls on there will come an i'm

republic slave labor was brought in

unhappy ones to the United States,
then Drawn and muscle built the
early railroads. Then followed the
flood of emigrants from northern
Europe to the western states and ter
ritories. All these emigrants sought

Of America.
Japan and China sent labor to TIA
Pacific slope to make that country
blossom as the rose. AS the situa-
ton appeals to my mind today, the
exodus of colored labor will demand
other sorts of foreign labor in Geor-
gia.
The unrest will continue, and the
uncertainty will harass our people,
and is likely to harass our progress
for many years to come. Z.

a satisfactory remedy can be pro-
pounded by him., We are doing all
we know how through educational
institutions to correct this condition
but in a republic with liberalized

For a long time we have looked
cause they seemed to be profitable
and successful; they grew and ex-
banded abnormally. We seem to
have overlooked the fact, however,
that in most cases their costs have
mounted with tremendous rapidity,
and so in the final analysis much
of the so-called skill which has
attended the success of our indus
tries has simply been the ascertain
ing as nearly as possible the cost
of production and then adding to
that figure as large, margin of

condition which has been in effect
through a long term of years.
On the basis of the figures pre-
scented, the average cost Of produc-
ing cotton per acre in 1918 on 26S
Georgia farms was $39.2S. The
average yield for the state was 208
pounds which at the average price
of 1872 cents a pound brought our
farmers $25.31b which represented
a loss of 1891 per acre. OF course,
our cotton farmers knew the price
was too low at that time, but we
have proceeded on the theory up to
the present that the farmer was
not entitled to an adequate margin
of profit on the cost of produc-
ton though we seem to have applied
and admitted the justice and cor
rectness of this principle in SO far
as our industries were concerned.
In 1918, the same farms previous
ly mentioned were re-surveyed with
the idea of ascertaining the cost
Of cotton production in that year.
The figures indicate that the cost
varied from eleven to seventy-one
cents a pound. Over fifty per cent
of the farmers concerned grew cot
ton at a cost of 20 to 80 cents a
pound. The average sale price in
1918 was 27.6 cents per pound SO
it would appear that over half of
the cotton growers lost money at
the price at which they were forced
to sell their cotton. From the above
figures it is evident that half of
the cotton farmers were making a

A Living Wage For the Farmer

- @S@As w ffSS 6Or Iu6 Edrmer
There is an impression in the pub
lie mind that the farmer is prof
1teerlng along with the rest of So
cIety. Every one glibly tells us that
the price of farm products is now
SO extraordinarily Ugh that this
Ing. This would indeed be remark
able if true. Of course, there has
been an accession in the cost of
farm products; otherwise we would
have starved to death. The increase
in the. value of food products, how
ever, has not kept pace with that
Of manufactured goods. 1t will take
only a very little study to establish
this. fact clearly in the mind of any
unbiased observer. The farmer has
had to face the same conditions as
the industrial operator, and in fact,
most of the ills from which he has
suffered are the result of the greed
and lack of judgment exercised by
the industrial operators. When
manufacturers desired labor and it
was not Forthcoming, they imme-
diately proceeded to bid up the price
until now they have created a sit
their own industry. 1t was but ma
tural that the man working on the
land should move to the city to get
eight, ten or twelve dollars a day
as an unskilled laborer. If he had
remained on the farm and the land
owner had attempted to pay him
wages of the character indicated,
the cost of food would have dou-
bled in many instances over the
present figure and we would have
been confronted by a program of
high living costs beside which the
present price would seem low. Do
not unload on the farmer, and do
not blame him for the conditions
which he did not create. Remember
that he has been faithful and eff
Gent in supplying us not only with
an abundance of food. but with an
excess for shipment abroad during
a period in the history of the world
when food was the paramount is
sue.
Next, let us see to what extent
the farmer has been profiteering
and what proportion of the land
owners of our country are making
large returns on their investment.
IN 1913 a survey of 534 farms in
Georgia revealed the fact that 1t
cost 1872 cents to make a pound
of cotton. In thar same year the
average price for cotton was 1872
cents pound. These figures are
easy Of v,eritication; yet they reveal
the astonishing fact that it cost on
over fifty per cent of the farms
surveyed from 10 to IA cents a
pound to produce cotton. The cost
varied from five to fifty-five cents
q pound, and Immediately some
