c0sT OF PRODUCING WHEAT


a contributor 10 a recent issue Of The
Country Gentleman SAYS Thar wher
a farmer produces 100 bushels Of wheal
he uses and withdraws from Els land
certain elements Of fertility. in guam.
Itity and commercial value, as follows;
Nitrogen. 1872 pounds at 15e Per pound
$3.50; phosphorus, % pounds at 81
per pound, .84: potassium. n pounds
Lat 6c per pound 426 total 1890
Here, then, is an element Of cost IN
the production Of wheat which is rarely
if ever calculated. Il amounts ID
nearly forty cents per bushel. and when
you add TO this the cost Of seed, Of la-
Dor, Of the depreciation Of machinery
used in blowing. seeding, harvesting
and transporting the same ID market,
the cost Of marketing, the power used,
whether BY horses or tractors. we begin
to realize The cost of production Is far
greater than generally supposed.
The land upon which the wheat IS
grown is the farmers capital. The
fertility Of it must be preserved, OF The
yield will be diminished from year to
year until finally it becomes valueIess,
in which event. not only the farmer suf-
fers, but the people who depend upon
him for bread, are likewise impoverish-
ed. The nation must have bread.
1t is plainly, therefore, the concern
of every person, whether farmer OF
not, to see that The tiIler Of the soil
shall receive enough for the products
OF his land TO cover the cost Of produc-
ton enough to enable him to put
back into his soil the elements Of fer
tility which the processes Of produc-
ton withdrewwith enough besides
to compensate him for all other charg-
Is named, including enough for his la
Dor that he will be enabled to fortify.
himself against the days Of idleness and
non-production which old age is sure to
bring.
It appears also that this element Of
cost in grain production has never been
totaled, for this Country Gentleman
declares that owing to these
accumulating losses the American grain
farmer has never made anything ex-
cept in the increased value of his land,
which has occurred in spite Of fertility
depletion and because Of its diminish
ing. supply in ratio to population.
But we pause to inquire in what re-
spect the increase in the value Of his
land has benefited the real farmerp
Unless he wishes to sell his farm Or
it, the increased value has
proven a detriment. for it has simply
multiplied his taxes without multiply
