COST OF PRODUCTION VARIES
Specialists Point Out FaiIacy of Con-
sidering Average as Basis
for Figuring.

The fact that there Is q wide varia-
tion on individual farms in the cost
OF producing any product has been
substantiated by recent cost surveys
conducted by specialists of the United
States Department of Agriculture.
Because of this variation, the spec IL
It's point out, 1t is fallacy to consider
the average as representing the cost
of production. For example, the aver
age cost Of wheat per bushel on the
4S1 farms studied by the specialists
last year was $2.51, but more than
so per cent of the farmers concerned
produced wheat at cost above this
figure, ranging up to an extreme Of
$500 per bushel. Similarly the aver
age cost of cotton for the S42 farms
studied was approximately % cents
per pound, yet almost 90 per cent Of
the growers had costs above this aver
age.
The department now gives the re-
suits of cost studies In the form of
frequency tables in order to show the
proportion of product that Is pro-
duced at or below given cost and
to call attention to the Importance Of
a bulk-llne cost rather than average
cost In relation to price.
The L'Anse sentinel., 1921-07-15

In an investigation embracing the
standards Of management on ten
farms selected by specialists of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture In the region mentioned, and
the results are embodied In Farmers
Bulletin 97S, which may be had free
upon application to the division Of
publications.
The bulletin shows that the average
yield of corn for the state is 42.50
bushels an acre, while on the ten
selected farms 1t Is $3.50 bushels; the
average wheat yield for the state
Is 1S bushels and Cor the ten farms
29.75; hay average for the state Is
1.43 tons an acre and for the te,
farms 2.65 tons; while the three
farms that grew oats produced an
average Of 40 bushels an acre as COM
pared with the state average Of 1910
bushels
A survey Of 37S farms I'm Chester
county on which exceptionally high
standards Of management are main
tained, including close attention to
handling Of barnyard manure, showed
an average corn yield of 65.3 bushels
wheat 24.S, and oats 41.6. The com
paratively high yields in Chester coun-
ty, the specialists say, cannot be
credited entirely to the way in which
manure is handled, because the soil
in that county Is much better than the
states average soil, but special at
tention to manure and its !conserva-
tion has been an outstanding feature
Of that county's farming.

you'd meet a fleet of thousand cars

1T isn't the new driver who is

don't break their necks speeding on
bad roads. They're caught on good
roads, the way said. Some pave
ment is deadly dangerous when It's
dry, and some is deadly dangerous
when II Is wet. Take concrete. for
example. There's no cleaner driving
IN the world than Oh concrete. This
side Of Buffalo, and here and there
in New York and California, you have
concrete roads. Now, when they are
hauling hay for bottom, or oranges
out of an irrigation project, there'll
be about three rods Of dirt on the con-
crete. It's apt to be clay. It's just
like daubs of axle grease on rail-
road track. You hit that stuff going
right along, feel 1t quiver. and try to
straighten up. Your steering wheels
slick around the easiest they ever did.
You forget where your straight-ahead
Is. and with the rear end of the car
swinging ahead you hit hard pan
again, and shoot off into the chaparral.
Or you climb the fence Of the Buffalo
county club, depending where you're
at.
Dry or Wet, Both Treacherous.
"Dry roads are treacherous and wet
roads are treacherous. There are
more accidents in western New York
from people coming Off poor roads on
to good ones than there are on rough
country roads.
"Where you know road is Danger
Gus you go slow and careful. Where
you think the road Is not dangerous,
but il Is death trap, you are In peril
Of your life. I'm thinking that when
they have paved roads over the Rocky
mountains there'll be q lot of acci-
dents because it seems so easy.
"Fve seen more than 200 wrecked
cars beside the road. I've seen the
ruins of ten times as many at garages
the country over. Not one but what
came to an untimely end because OF
carelessness of some kind. And nine
times out of ten the carelessness was
because the driver was going too fast
on road he didn't know. You'll find
at the bottoms of slopes in the
Rockies big, beautiful cars, all ruined
-skidded on dust, on clay that looked
solid, on sand that was roller lear
ings. or on .long peeled log gutter

"No, sir! My boy, when you get
your car, don't you drive over any
strange road at more than 20 miles
an hour, no matter how good it Is, and
you'll find lots of roads where It's
better to go under ten miles an hour
than to go faster than that. From the
Rockies to the Sierras l averaged sew
en- miles an hour-60 miles at three
miles an hour one day. And l passed
two cars before dark that left me be-
hind in the morning. They'd busted
