INTERESTING FIGURES.
ON PRODUCTION COSTS


VIM. r. Cavert, Farm Management
Demonstration of University Farm,
conducted one day schools In Marshall
county last week and some very in
teresting figures were brought out on
the cost Of production Of potatoes and
butter fat at the meetings held at
Stephen and Newfolden, according to
B. r. Houser, county agent. 2.s.:s g
The figures obtained from the farm
ers are given below and should prove
beneficial in deciding what way is
safest to proceed for those who are
planning to plant few acres and
milk few cows. At Stephen the
farmers decided that twenty (2O)
acres would be about the correct acre
age to put in potatoes. At Newfolden
the farmers decided that ten acres
under their conditions would be SAT.
est to start with. Therefore, in con.
sidering these figures remember that
the man and horse hours figured for
Stephen were based on the amount OF
twenty (2O) acres while the man and
horse hours at Newfolden were based
on acreage Of ten.

STATE FINANCES
ARE LARGE SUMS
Largest Business in History Dukg
1921---Atauy Revenue
- i. SogWcea

According to figures recently made
public by Ray p. Chase, state auditor,
the state Of Minnesota did more bust
ness financially during 1921 than In
any other year, in it's history. For
the twelve calendar months ending
Decs 3d.. transactions involved q total
of, $102, 49,, 474.2O. OF this amount,
$50,997, 1854 represented receipts, and
the balance, Sol, $780, 26, expendt-
lures. The legal bookkeeping year. OF
the state is. from July to July, hence
the excess Of expenditures over re-
ceipts. - =.
From taxes Of various kinds, the
state treasury was enriched to the OK
tent of $22,744,59O.39. Departmental
fees and other earnings contributed
the balance, $28,253, $685. The larE-
est source Of revenue was from state
taxes, amounting to $11, 271 650.08, and
the second largest, the railroad gross
earnings tax. From this source more
| than 100000 was realized. Another
large revenue producer was the. sale
| of motor licenses, which is the princi-
| pal basis Of the good roads program
inaugurated to pull Minnesota out OF
the mud. More than $5,OO0,OO0 was
received from the sale of auto tags
While direct taxation is the chief
| source of revenue Of every common
| wealth, there are other lines Of reve-
nue., and these are found in depart
mental fees and earning of various
kinds. Minnesota Jared well in this
respect last year, and to the credit of
those in charge it. must be said that
| the receipts In the majority of cases
| were in excess of the expenditures.
The state insurance department gave
its check for over $125, 900. The dairy
and food department was credited
with earnings Of over $175,OOO, and
the state game and fish commission
with a. sum slightly under 100000.
Large earning factors were those of
I hotel inspection, with receipts of over
$41,O0O; oil inspection with receipts
of more than $4,000; and the secre-
tary{of state with fees from the fling
of articles of Incorporation totalling
$107,705. Royalties from iron ore
mined on state land exceeded $1,O00,-
/ OOO. Interest on state loans aided
materially, likewise the interest due
! on the sale Of state lands. The two
were responsible for contribution
Of more than $3,OOO,0OO.
Although receipts are necessity
and their increase with the years
cause for rejoicing and an indication
of the states prosperity it is the ex-
penditures that interest the average
taxpayer. Some large items in dis
bursements were listed last year, but
they were mostly in aid of some state
activity such as agriculture, good
roads and education. Over $1O,OO0,0 900
was expended for the latter Next
came special aid to veterans of the
world war and in turn the construe-
ton of good roads.

The average production Of cows
around Newfolden was thought to be
1875 pounds butter fat yearly. Figur-
ing butter fat on the basis Of 32c
one can readily see that it is not going
to pay that kind OF cow represented
by class Of 1875 pounds yearly pro-
duction. Some men will seemingly
make money on such cattle, but they
are not figuring that their time and
interest on capital Investment together
with all their figures on the above
list amount to anything. -' <gZsS.

When it came reproducing butter
fat Stephen farmers felt that their
COWS ought to produce 200 pounds
butter fat in one year. The total cost
for feed, interest, barn rent, etc., is
given below.
The total income from COWS pro-
Aucing the amount Of 200 pounds of
butter fat is also given and it would
appear that at 32c pound for butter
fat there would not be a vast for
tune in milking cows. We might state
advisable in this connection that as
a region gets more and more accus-
toned to dairying they will find that
a. seon as they get calf which is
worth more than $500 when week
old and as soon as they get cows pro-
ducing 300 to 400 pounds butter fat
year that then they will be getting
along very well. -. =. E.
At some near future dates the farm
ers Of western Marshall county are
reaching point where they. will drop
their petty jealousies and become less

cry in turn will be one big solution
in making for greater dairy profits.
