These Farmers Make No Large Profits

FIGURES on farm profits covering
i seven years in two areas and five
years in a third. made public by the
United States Department OF Agri-
culture show that comparatively few
OF the farmers in the groups studied
have been making large profits during
the recent years of comparatively
high prices.
The figures indicate chiefly:
That the farmers average return on
investment increased from per cent
I'm 1913 10 per cent In 1918.
That most Of them are making less
than $500 cash per year over and
above the things the farm furnishes

HOGGING OFF CORN IN FAVOR
North Dakota College Secured Return
of S45.54 Per Acre by Using
Herd of Shotes.

While corn usually is considered
not as a money crop but one TO clean
up the land. yet the North Dakota
Agricultural college received a re-
turn of S45.54 per acre by using 48
shotes to hog off 10 acres of flint corn
in 1913, according TO J. ii. Shepherd
of the experiment station.
1.-THE hogs were turned in the field
September 6. when they averaged 100
pounds in weight. and left there un-
til November y, making an average
gain of "a pounds. or gain OF oslo
pounds per acre They were market
ed at 1851 cents, which, allowing for
shrinkage, gave a return of $45.54 per

FIAT one of the best moves ever

are watching with eager interest the
effect OF the coming system at the ma
tional capital.

One important requirement for par

proper and satisfactory container. the
United States Department of Agricul-

sumner can secure containers more
readily and economically than the pro-

less likely TO be damaged in transit in
the mails than those which are not
thus supplied and which are likely to
be tossed or thrown or handled by the

strips of veneer may also be used. and

be used for handle. This Irvine car
