The Farm and
The Farmer
BY William r. Sanborn

A farmer who has plunged in hogs
and fed them high-priced corn tells
US that already he stands to lose
quite a bunch of money, and has al
ready marketed many at a loss. If
hogs range around present prices and
ne gets action on present priced corn,
ne stands chance Of pulling out. He
reports his corn crop good one, with
an acreage large enough to produ ,e
1000 bushels. Should hogs go to
pieces, however, he says he may have
10 dispose of 4-figure Liberty bond.
Don't quote me by name" said he,

prove where thousands Of farmers are
getting off at notable those who have
been supplying the country with beef,
pork and mutton, at loss
Meet Five Nights a Week.
Beginning with the meeting of farm
ers of Franklin township at White
water on Monday night. there will be
q similar meeting at some community
farm center every evening except on
Saturday and Sunday, up to Monday,
Nov. l. The federation membership
drive is now on and each township
will hold meeting in turn until the
drive is completed. Good speakers
will swing around the circle up to the
wind-up in Centerville, on Nov. /. The
locations and dates of these meetings
appeared in the Palladium of Satur
day last. Look it up, cut it out and
paste up for reference. There is nc
objection to your stopping over" into
the next township to help 'em out.
Isaiah Fricker, of Dublin, has a
good corn crop maturing and will
need it. as he has ITO hogs to fatter

on the great American hog, year il
and year out, and always has a bunch
of them on the place, regardless OF
the market price.

St. Louis Car Company
Loses $780, 900 in Fire
(By Associated Press)


ST. LOUIS, Oct. 12-Fire believed to
have been caused by crossed light
ing wires in the milling department
swept the plant of the st. Louis car
company, in the northern end of the
city, early today causing a loss esti-
mated according to police and fire Of
ficials at approximately 100000.
Three Of the principal buildings of
the plant, all one storied structures,
and large quantity of material stored
in the lumber yard were destroyed,
and two buildings badly damaged
Two others were saved.
A high wind and inadequate water
supply combined to combat the eff
forts Of firemen, who only succeeded
in getting the blaze under control after
it had covered an area of approx
mately five blocks.

better showing. Their farm incomes
averaged $1,S56 for the seven years,
1910 and 1888, and their labor In
comes, S55S. Return on capital was
81 per cent, and food, fuel and house
rent supplied by the farm, S426. The
average farm income Of those farms
increased from Sl,282 in 1910 to $2,97S
in 1918.
The farm income Of the sixty Wis
consin farms averaged 1925 for the
five years, $1913-1e, the labor income,

termined by deducting from the farm

Al per cent. The average farm In
come ranged from SLOTS in 1913 to
81 $50 in 1918. On most OF these farms
the principal source OF income Is
dairying.
OF the 1876 farmers in the three
areas, none made a labor income OF
81 900 for every year Of the study, but
eighteen in the Indiana area and seven
| in the Wisconsin area made labor In

over $500 labor income every year
Averaging labor income and loss for
the whole time, Is per cent of the
farmers failed to make any labor In
come at all Ten per cent failed even
to make 5 per cent interest on invest
ment in any year Of the study.
More Apparent Than Real
Department specialists point out
that though farm incomes in most
cases showed a marked increase dur
ing the years 1868, as compared
with incomes for 1925, these in
creases are more apparent than real
| in view Of the decrease in the pur
| chasing power of the dollar. The turn
over for the recent years was larger
than for the earlier years, but the re
turns were relatively little larger, If
measured in terms Of the things il
would buy rather than in terms OF dol
lars and cents.
There has been a somewhat wide
spread impression during the last few
years that the farmers were making
money hand over fist" and this in
quiry by the department of agricul
ture will, it is presumed, go long
! way toward setting the public right on
this matter. Even during the exces
sively high prices for farm products
that prevailed during the war farm
ers, as a rule, did not profit to any
unusual extent, they say. The high
prices they received were deceiving
they said at the time, and still say
because they were compelled to pay
war prices for everything that went
into the making of crops. The depart.
ment's inquiry ought to have salts
| flying effect on both the farmer ana
the city man.

of 81 for clover seed in this vicinity
10 days ago, since which the price has
been put up a trifle. We know of no
farmers who took the 81 offer and
buyers have nearly all been advising
holding.
Fountain City Has Coal
The manager of the elevator at
Fountain City reports one car of an
thracite coal in transit, and two cars
Of Kentucky coal rolling their way
They also received a car Of hard coal
a few days ago. He says that farm
ers are counting on cribbing corn
within another two weeks il weather
continues favorable and that the crop
is all safe from an ordinary frost, and
that most of it would stand a freeze
in his opinion. They took in 200 bush
els of wheat at Fountain City on Mon
day, at cost of $3.50, and are bidding
$40 for clover seed.
SIPS for Corn Monday
Walter Mathews, of Centerville
said they paid s125 for load of vel
low corn, on Monday, because they
had to have it,. Thai is sufficient
reason, Of course because farmers are
mighty reticent when you talk less
than a dollar for old corn. No wheat
is being offered and very few oats to
speak of, the last bought costing the
elevator IS cents.
Those awaiting the arrival Of hard
coal, ordered weeks ago, are Informed
that none has come in.

WASHINGTON, Oct. IL Figures
on farm profits, covering seven years
in two areas and five years in third.
have been assembled by the depart
ment of agriculture. These figures
show ID that comparatively few of
the farmers in the groups studied
have been making large profits during
the recent years of comparatively
high prices; (2) that their average re-
turn on investment increased from
about 4 per cent. in 1918 to per cent.
in 1919, and (3) that most OF them
are making less than $500 in money
over and above the things the farm
supplies toward the family living.
which, however, constitute very i'm
portant factor.
Specialists Of the office Of farm
management and farm economics
who have conducted these investiga.
lions say that while the results will
not justify making flat generaliza-
lions as to what farm profits are for
the country as a whole, they believe
they should have weight in the con-
sideration of the general problem as
indicative of the trend of farm re-
turns in representative farming
sections.
Indiana In Ono Group
The three groups of farms studied
are. respectively, in Washington
county, Ohio twenty-five farms, hill
country, seven years.; Clinton county,
Indiana 600 farms, corn belt, seven
years., and Dane county. Wisconsin
(sixty-nine farms, dairy region. five
years). Representatives OF the depart
ment visited these farms year after
year, taking records covering the farm

ton of farm capital, amount and dis

ceived.
From the figures thus obtained, the
farm income (receipts less expenses)
and the labor income farm income
less per cent. on investmenD mas
been computed for each farm and for
each group of farms. The average
farm income of the twenty-five farm
ers visited in Washington county,
Ohio, for the seven years 1928 was
S61O: the labor income, $276; the re-
turn on investment, AS per cent. In
addition to the farm income, the farm
ers had food, fuel and house rent
estimated to be worth on the average
1859 per year. For 1912 the farm IN
come on these farms averaged So46'
and for 1918 the average was $7l9.
Those farms are in a billy region.

fertile.

TIMELY BEAUTY HINTS

Society women wash their own
hair, not because it is fad, but be-
cause they wish to obtain the great
est possible hair beauty and be sure
they are not using anything harmful.
They have found that in washing the
hair it is never wise to use make
shift, but is always advisable to use
q preparation made for shampooing
only. Many of our friends say they
get the best results from simple
homemade canthrox mixture. You
can use this at cost of about 8
cents a shampoo by getting some can
throx from your druggist and dissolv-
ing a teaspoonful in a cup of hot
water This makes enough shampoo
liquid to apply to all the hair instead
of just the top of the head. as with
most preparations. Dandruff, excess
oil and dirt are dissolved and entirely
disappear in the rinsing water. Your
hair will be so fluffy that it will look
much heavier than it is. Its luster
and softness will also delight you.-Ad-
