PRODUCING POTATOES
IN BMTRAMI COUNTY

While great deal has been said
about the cost Of producing various
farm products and such costs as a
basis for market price, very few far
mersl are in a position to tell what
their cost Of production is for any
year. Since this cost will vary with
practically every farm III is possible
to get only general or average for
ja,.given section of country--approxi-
mate at least, and accurate enough
for a basis for business calculations.
Under an act passed by the last
legislature requiring every County
Agent to cooperate with the State
Department Oh Agriculture in collect
ling productions costs, ten blanks were
sent to as many potato growers qt
which six were returned at the end
Of the season. These reports came
from Northern Township, Turtle
River, Solway, Kelliher, Bemidji and
Hines and hence; are fairly represent
alive Of conditions covering the
whole county. The total number of
acres grown was 81 or an average of
14k per farmer, but varied from
one. acre on one farm to 40 acres on!
another. III 5 f,~.l, T. r ...%
The total average, cost per acre
twas $56.54 while the average yield
per acre. was Ia bushel or, a cost per
bushel of 41.25 cents. The average
farm price for ten years prior to
1921, was on December LIST was SAC
per bushcI. This would mean an
acre return of 1920. SO CT $64.51
net profit per acre. Certified seed
stock which usually sells at a. slight
premium per bushel would shout a
greater profit still but the cost of
production - also somewhat greater
on account of special care, inspect
ion and rouging diseases and weak
plants: These figures would indicate
that potatoes grown consistently ov-
err period of years is paying a cash
crop. Figures are also available that
some years potatoes do net pay, and
would show that the safest policy Is
to grow a given acreage every year
and not plunge. ~ p.,:T2 \. ssf

EXPLAINS REASONS FOR
!. JOINING FARM BUREAU

A four, minute speech by E. B..
Heaton,, Director of Dairy Market
ing for the American Farm Bureau
Federation:
- my. reasons for joining the Farm
Bureau may be summarized under
six headings: .-'
"First, the farmer needs strong
local, county, state and national Or
sanization. He needs to be organized
Second, a Farm Bureau is nom
political, non-sectarian and non COM
mercial service organization, which
type Of soi lanization appears to me
Is the 30fle that can accomplish the
most in an educational, economic
and legislative way for the farmer.
Il" Third, an organization of service
like the Farm Bureau, representing
all phases of agriculture, can render
q great service in developing COM
modify marketing of all kinds.
Fourth, the Farm Bureau as an
educational organization can render
one of its most valuable services.
Along with the most efficient mark
citing in q cooperative way. we must
not lose sight of the fact that to do
this most efficiently, we must at all
times produce more economically.
/ The Farm Bureau can render to
each farmer a great service along
these lines.
i Fifth, as a commodity organiza-
tions are developed and in order that
they must function, efficiently, it is
necessary that farm products be
standardized and graded. The Farm
Bureau can render splendid service
in assisting the farmers to do this.
:, Sixth, the Farm Bureau is a
splendid medium for the develop
ment of community life. 1t can and
is fostering the organization Of COM
munity life. Due to the fact that
this is nonpolitical, non-sectarian,
and non-commercial organization, it
can develop these community or
CARNATIONS in a way whereby all
classes Of farm folk can cooperate
in them" ~ - =. -.,-.e
