 What is a farmers time worth? whal Is he worth an hour7 Does he charEt his tusiness-the business of farming with the value of the time he gives tc it?

The farmer who is not giving these things a little thought is not in the front rank of those whe are max ing of farming what it really could be- a business on a business basis.
 The average gross income from farm of one hundred and fifty acres will be something over s3.000. and 10 produce that income between 1000 and s.eoe hours of productive labor are required. This makes the average productive labor worth about 70 cents.
 To make every one of these 4e cent hours productive of Its share of profit t is necessary to reduce non-productve la- bor to the minimum and In farming as in manufacturing it has been found that the best way to do ths is tc use labor saving machinery.

ALL GRAINS JUMP ID
 NEW HIGH RECORDS IN THE CHICAGO PIT.
In the Provisions List the Outcome Varied From 5 Points Decline to 35c
 Advance
By Associated Pres.

Chicago, Ill, April 19-All deliveries of corn. oats. rye and barley jumped today to new high record prices for the season. Wet weather likely to delay farm work was the chief bullish factor Closing quo- tations were unsettled, 11sd2asc net high CT. with May $1.7A@a. .7l7s and July sl.66@ 1.66ls. Oats gained 7sq1iSc. In provisions the outcome varied from Dc decline to S5c advance.
 Most corn traders turned to the buying side, and acted on opinions that the un- welcome rains would prove serious set back to the accumulation of supplies here and at other mills.
 Talk of a possible strike of freight han dlers tended further to stimulate specu- lative demand for corn, and so too did persistent buying of wheat and rye for export A sharp bulge in the price of barley was also of considered effect in helping to lift the value of corn and other grain. The barley upturn was due to efforts on the part of certain dealers to anticipate any supreme court decision in favor of brewers. Oats were espe- cially sensitive to reports that seeding would be hindered by the prevailing ad- verse weather. It was said the crop was already two weeks behind hand. Provisions averaged higher with grain and hogs.
