The Farmers Loss

The Farmers National council after an investi gation covering several months, reports that the farmers of the United States lost more than six billion dollars last year and this in face of the fact that many city people have beleived all along that the farmer was a profiteer.
 According to the National council. the total cost and ex- peuditure on all the farms last year was thirty-one billion dollars. The labor item alone the amount paid by farm ors for help-was five billion dollars. Freight charges amounted to six hundred million dollars.
 In figuring up the loss by far. mers, the council of course takes the value of the services of the farmers into consideration. It is estimated that a man who operates a farm should have at least two thousand dollars year for his services. When that is done, it is seen that very few farms actually pay the cost of operation, but it is the correct way of figuring. Certainly the superintendent of a fair.siZed farm earns two thousand dollars year whether he is hired SUD- erintendent or the proprietor of the land.
 It is about time all of us were estimating the farmers at hi true worth-and appreciating the many disadvantages under which he labors. He can not take 8 vacation like most of us; the farm must be run every day.
 He can not stop at noon Satur.. day, and take up his duties Mon- day morning: there is much to be done Saturday afternoon and on Sunday. Then, the farmer can not surround himself with all the modern conveniences known to
 the city. Most of his work is drudgery. pure and simple. and that of his wife nothing else. He can not adopt an eight hour day;
 his abors are too closely allied to Ihe labors of nature for him 10 depart so far from natures hours of toll. All things considered.
 the farmer is poorly paid for the service which he renders: he is entitled to all he receives and more. and the rest of us might as
 we'll makea up our minds to that effect and stop complaining at the prices which the farmer receives for his produce. Our burdens come not from the wages of the farmer.
