JEFFERSON COUNTY FARM
NOTES.
Cost of Raising Wheat.

Mr.. Grover Bush, Charles Town,
q tenant on T. T. Perry's farm re-
ports the cost of raising sc bushels
of wheat. The Yield was Is bushels
per acre. Figuring fair price for
the use of the horses, their feed,
labor costs, boarding hands, thresh-
ing, ETC., Mr.. Bush realized $3.50 per
acre clear, or about the price of one
bushel of wheat with his own labor
thrown in. In calculating what he
got for his labor which was about as
days, he received $3.48. Prices
charged are fair. The tenant would
be considered a skilled workman
judged by trade standards. The
landlord is known as the most liberal,
making OUTLAWS for keeping up fer
tility and conveniences to his tenants.
The Yield is considerably above the
average.
Why Farmers Don't Strike.
A recent editorial in the Balti-
more Sun asks "are the farmers GO
ing to quit?" The question was pro-
voked by answers written to 2000,-
600 letters sent out by the post
Offices.
The above small profit made on the
wheat illustrates what farmers are
thinking. Most any farm project,
cattle, hogs, sheep, corn, wheat, poul-
try, etc., will not show much profit
when closely fgured-often loss.
The only reason farmers do not quit
many are-is because he can live
cheaper on the farm than any place
in the world. His house does not
mean monthly rent outlay of rent,
milk, eggs, poultry, fruit, vegetables,
butter, ETC., does not mean a heavy
outlay of cash monthly. 1t requires
| more hustle, thrift and a rougher
life to live on the farm. A thrifty
farmers garden and truck patch
yields him a far greater return than
any other enterprise for the amount
of cash and labor invested in it. The
farmer is not going to quit, but he
is showing a marked tendency to be-
come more thrifty, to develop those
enterprises that contribute directly
to his living from the farm, and not
give so much attention to those en-
terprises that do not. The last is to
lower his production of wheat, corn,
pork, and beef. The wool, produc-
ed in smaller amounts by grazing
crops, requiring less labor.
E. A. Stout says: Farmers never
were so prosperous" He loses his
statement on SO to 100 per cent
increase in land values. Mr.. Stout
has built up a wonderful system OF
selling lands that are arriculturally
on the decline His agents operate
principally in the New England
States and worn sections of the At
lantic Coast. We have often won
dered why he never operated in the
better farming. sections. He sells
farms that have had the fertility
farmed out by a long period of ex-
haustive agriculture. The profits
that have been made in farming has
come from exhausting the fertility OF
fertile soils, and advance in value OF
lands that are not exhausted by this
fertility.

How Fine is Mari.

Mr.. Paul Jamison had an analysist
to examine sample of mari for ply
steal fineness. 1t was found that 81
per cent. would pass thru screen
with 200 meshes to the inch. Such a
screen would be a very fine, closely
woven cloth About rs per cent.
would pass a 100 mesh screen. 1t
has been found practical to use lime
stone crushed so that all would pass
a 10 mesh screen. Mari is almost as
fine as hydrated lime, and for that
reason will have a quick enough ac-
ton for all practical purposes.

HI COST IN GERMANY
Rubber Goes Up 30 Per cent-News papers to Raise Rates-living
 Prices Climbing.

AMERICAN HEADQUARTERS, Coblenz. Germany, Feb. 16.-Con tinued shortage of raw material, in. creased cost of coal and wages is being reflected in a general increase in prices throughout Germany ac- cording to the German newspapers.
 A Hamburg rubber goods company has announced a 30 per cent increase in the cost of all goods. Leather goods have gone up in price enor- mously. Some dealers say the price has reached such stage that they believe it will be virtually impossible to do business in the leather line if the price takes another jump. Trade papers have recommended that leath- CT goods be permitted to be imported free of luxury tax.
 German newspapers are contem plating an increase both in the rate of subscription and of advertising.
 Despite the vail of high prices German newspapers published long accounts recently to the effect that many foreigners. especially Russians had been fiocking to Germany to take advantage of the low cost of living due to the low value of the mark, One newspaper says: "The cost oi living for a foreigner in Germany to day is probably one-fourth of that abroad. Naturally. foreigners at tracted by the cheapness of living conditions are Hooking to various parts of Germany. Many of these are Russian emigrants who escaped from Stockholm or Copenhagen with money enough to last them a year or so but who. by coming to Germany, nd themselves with enough money to last them five or six years.

 Within the past two years by means of such operations Dr. Brinkley has made it possible for three men and one woman to be- come parents. In all four cases the glands of a male goat were used. In each instance baby boy was born.
 In his most recent case Dr. Brinkley used the gland of fe- male goat.
