The Farm and The Farmer
BY William r. Sanborn

farmers will very generally agree.
That number of bushels Of corn is too
many to sell or trade for d farm wag-
on, at any point in this country, it
would seem.
Well, the Culbertson farmer wrote
letter 10 the John Deere company.
Of Moline, Illinois, explaining his 20
sition, and asking for some light on
the subject. He needed a new wagon,
he said, but couldn't afford 10 buy it.
What TO do?
How the Freights Figured
In the course of an exhaustive re-
ply the Deere company said: Our
present price F. o. 3. Moline on a
farm wagon is 100 per cent higher
than our price of 1914 At this price
we are selling this wagon at approx
imatelv 20 per cent less than our cost.
The cost to you at CulbertsOn, Neb.,
however, does not bear the same re
lation to the pre-war price, for the
reason that in 1914 the freight on Il
farm wagon from Moline to Culbert-
son was $1.37 a hundred: the present
rate including the war tax. is $3.50.
A farm wagon weighs !, 200 pounds.
The difference in freight of So cents
per hundred makes the transportation
Of this wagon alone cost $11.40 more
than it did before the war. The in
creased transportation costs upon the
materials that 90 into the wagon are
even greater than this amount
when you come to pay for this
wagon through the sale of corn in the
Chicago market, YOU have a still
greater disadvantage, due to the fact
that corn has declined since 1914
The freight on corn from Culbertson
/ TO Chicago was 241ac on a hundred
or approximately Il cents a bushel
today. with the per cent war tax in
cluded. it is At cents a hundred, OF
/ approximately IS cents per busheL SC
+ that you pay II cents a bushel more
( 20 get your corn to Chicago than yOl
! did in 1914.
| You state that it requires $50 bush
/ els of corn to buy wagon today. A
~ cents a bushel increased freight
this means that you are paying the
railroads SIS more transportation or
/ the corn necessary to buy this wagon
! therefore your increased contribution
TO the railroad company in getting
this wagon out here and shipping
enough corn to Chicago to pay for it
| is $500.
You can well see from this that i
is absolutely impossible for any of Il!
to get back to a normal basis of price.
until the cost of transportation i
very materially reduced. You ask u
when conditions will change; We tel
YOU when transportation costs ar
gotten back upon a reasonable basis.
The careful reader will COnside
this presentation so complete in itsel
that further comment would be super
fluOus.

DRIVE CATTLE HERD OVERLAND AS IN EARLY
DAYS To SAVE RAILROAD FREIGHT RATES

was during the brief but lurid career
of these coWtowns that the romantic
tradition of the wild, revolver-shOot-
ing coWpnucher, who has filled so
much space in the magazinese and pop
ular novels, was established.
From the literature OF the subject
one would imagine that the whole
West was carnival of gun play. As
a matter of fact, the wild and wOOlly
stuff was mostly confined to these few
towns and lasted only a few years.
The cattlemen of the whole West con-
verged upon these towns. sold their
stock and set out to spend their mon
ey.
The result was inevitable. You can
get it anywhere by turning loose q
large number of men with money to
spend, whisky to drink, and no wives
, to make them behave. Every dance
ended in a gunfight Men rode their
; horses into dance halls and saloons
and shot ont the lights. Professional

Long Drives.
Besides the cOwtowns the other
great market for beef was the Indian
reservations. The government by that
time Gin the sevenies) had rounded
up most OF the Indians and put them
| on reservations, and whisky and con.
sumption had not yet reduced their
numbers greatly. Hence Uncle Sam
/ had thousands of Indians to feed, and
/ he fed them largely on beef.
/ Probably the longest cattle drives
and the most profitable ones were
made from the southern ranges to the
! Indian reservations in Montana and
! the DakOtas. Some cattleman with
! political pull would get a contract tc
! deliver certain number of three-year
old beef steers at d point in Montana
