THE LAST CONSIDERATION

ARGE headlines in some Of the newspapers Of
- yesterday drew the attention Of the public to the
enormous amount of money involved in the scraPpins
of naval ships if the proposals Of America as an
nounced BY Secretary Hughes, are adopted by the
Washington Conference. The attitude of mind that
would accent this loss in the face of the gain We are
working for, is one that is hard 10 understand
The insiignificence of the sum Of money lost in the
s%crapping Of such vessels and armament. compared
with the amazing savings TO tic nation IN getting nd
Of tie upkeep and replacement OF them, fades TO such
a proportion that it would lake a microscope to find it.
Where is the man or woman in this wide country who
cares what it costs to scrap mIltarism! We know to
the last bitter, burning reality what il costs TO sup
port it. !

the Capital Friday, and witnessed the solemn process

Of the city defeated a special tax levy proposed to
relieve the stringency and now the city officials are
al a loss how to keep going. There is a deficit Of
Sl.S55,0O0 in the PROPOSED budget for 1922. That
is a large healthy amount. Either the citizens have
administered a rebuke for reckless expenditures

Southern gardens begin to look
seedy about June 10, gardens In the
Middle states section are ID the height
OF their glory, and the New England
gardens are just getting well started.
It seems to be foregone conclusion
ON the part Of most persons through
out the Southern states that southern
gardens can be grown only In the
spring and in the fall, with q few
nance hardy crops during the winter.
The farmer of the middle section
plants his spring garden, then gets
ousy with farm crops. and very little
further attention is given the garden,

On. In the New England states and parts
Of the Northwest where, the grow

Of most vegetables can be grown. In
the middle section, however, two
crops can often be grown on the same

COST OF PRODUCTION VARIES
Specialists Point Out Fallaey Of Con.
\ sidsrins Average 20 Basis I,
for Figuring.

The fact that there is wide varia-
ton 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 special
its point out, 1t is a 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
50 per cent Of the farmers concerned
produced wheat at cost above this
figure, ranging up to an extreme Of
$3.50 per bushel. Similarly the aver
age cost of cotton for the s42 farms
studied was approximately. % cents
per pound yet almost 60 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 a given cost and
to call attention to the Importance Of
bulk-lines cost rather than average
cost In relation to price.
