they do much to counterfeit the infiu-
ence of parents who do not want their
children to stay on the farm.
So favorably has the club work
been received all over the state that
many county fairs have added club
departments.
At La Crosse SO calves and SO pigs
were shows by club members, while
at Jefferson 81 calves were exhibited.
What club work is doing to make
fairs for farmers, not for takers" is
no longer matter of conjecture.
Cow Testing Catches Cuiprit Cows.
Low prices Of dairy products have
taken much Of the enthusiasm out of
Wisconsin dairymen but culprit cows
have stolen the profits, so COW testing
reveals. To show profit under pres
ent conditions a cow must produce
more than the average. If 80 per cent
of so-called dairy cows were sent to
the shambles the product of the re-

This of course was not due to testing
alone but also to good feed and gOoa
care bestowed upon the herd by the
owner. While other dairymen may
have lost money at the business it IS
certain that Mr.. Raymond, by secur-
ing high production from each indi-
vidual unit in his herd, was able to
show profit.
High producing units" are bet
ter answer of the individual farmer
to the profit making question than are
high prices"
Dairy Cattle Demand Continues.
There can be no profit in keeping
unproductive surplus stock on the
farm. For such, satisfactory market
must be found. 1t has been the con-
sistent purpose of the college to slim
ulate such a demand from other
states. Through letters to bankers,
county agents, and others in neigh
boring states, through a quiet but in
tensive selling campaign, directed to-
ward those sections of the country
where dairying is rapidly developing,
not only by the college but also by the
various livestock organizations with
in the state, iscOnsin succeeded in
disposing of 10000 head Of dairy cat
tie during the year to outside buyers.
While prices were not high, there is
no question but that they were much
higher than they would have been had
this outside market not been found.
Here again quality counts. The best
evidence is furnished by single ex-
ample. At the last National Dairy
Show 40 head of Wisconsin grade
COWS, every one of which had cow
testing association record of over 365
pounds Of fat for the year, were sol6

mMAVE WE EVER had a profitable
80 agriculture? Probably not.
Farming as an industry never
ID has been consistently and stead
nv profitable, though here and there
individual farmers have made money.
Agricultural wealth is due more to
rise in land value than to profits ac-
ruaIIv accumulated on the products
oE the soil.
Are we ever to have a profitable
agriculture? Farming must become
generally profitable or else in the
midst Of our boosted democracy we
will have a peasant people on the
nd. There are no two ways out
Standards Of living in the country
mus. be kept on level with city life
In this hope lies the only future of
American agriculture and country
life
But how can it be done? The prof
ft4 0t agriculture, as we'll as every
fling else, arise from a favorable diff
ference between cost of production
and selling price. Over prices the in
dtvidual farmer has little control 1t
Is only by powerful organization for
orderly marketing of farm products
that farmers as a class can influence
prices. The individual farmer is
helpless.
What Then Can He Do?
over production is the thorn in the
flesh Of agricultural progress. Let
farmers as a group produce more Of
any particular product and their sue
cessfuI efforts are Immediately offset
5v lower prices. But let the individ-
ual produce more per acre and it is
his individual ver-production that
makes profit for him. To him "over-
production" per acre is of equal if
lot greater Importance than market
price for no matter what the price
ae PROFIT is always the excess Of
rriYe over cost of production. If the
price il so low that with good yields
no profit results then it is high time
to compare this with other crops that
show a balance on the right side of
the ledger This means that on GER
tain Wisconsin farms some crops can
be bought cheaper than they can be
grown. There certainly can be no
profit in raising such a crop. 1t fur

crops can be grown to greater advan-
tage than those now being raised. In
either even certain crops should be
replaced by others that can be more
proftably grown.

cations of farmers into groups for the
main bitches as well as the individual
drainage work on each separate farm
it will necessarily be some time be-
fore these projects can be finished.
In addition to this, 38 different farm
ers have had preliminary surveys
made for drainage on their own farms
by the drainage specialists and the
county agent.
A special line of work in preventing
soil erosion-another destroyer of the
farm profits-was started in the
rougher section of Buffalo county
where both roads and fields are be-
ing ruined. Unless these losses can
be stopped there can be no profit in
farming such land
Farm Records Determine Profits.
No farmer can tell whether the va
rious branches of his business are
profitable or not unless he keeps rec
ords. Neither is he able to abandon
a losing venture and to take up or eX-
pand a paying one if he has no rec
ord of either 1t is for exactly these
purposes that farmers are being con-
tinually encouraged to keep books. J"
That many are taking the necessary
steps to determine actual cost of pro-
duction is shown by the fact that over
5000 Wisconsin farm record books
have been put into use on as many
Wisconsin farms during the past year,
in all but two counties of the state.
Farmers Institutes Furnish Incentive
without the inspiration that comes
from contact with others, the ex-
change of ideas, and the adoption of
new methods, farmers are slow to

naming number would show a larger
profit We pride ourselves on the
fact that Wisconsin has more dairy
cattle than any other state but we
have to acknowledge that Wisconsin
is carrying thousands of profftless
dairy cows.
The average fat production of Wis
consin cows is about $50 pounds,
hardly enough to pay for their keep.
Continued testing over period Of
years always raises the average. Take
the case of H. o. Aavang of the Barne
weld Cow Testing Association. Five
years ago his herd averaged 1870
pounds Of fat each, just a little better
than the average of Wisconsin herds.
Last year, after four years of testing
of his herd the average was raised to
266 pounds. All the profit he has had
out of his herd has come from this in
crease!
Again, take the case of Olin Ruste,
owner of the high herd in this same
association. Five years ago Mr..
Ruste's herd produced an average of
244 pounds of fat but last years rec
ord shows he raised this to All
pounds, an increase of 1877 pounds:
per COW, practically all of which was
profit.
Does continued testing pay? 1t did
Grant County herald. [volume] (Lancaster, Wis.) 1850-1968, 1923-02-21

tice, teach and lead groups of farm
ers assembled in meetings and insti-
tutes in more production and hence
more profitable farming. Nearly 400
such meetings scattered throughout
the entire state gave opportunity for
the county agent, college specialists
and practical farmers to meet and
plan for more profitable production.
The means by which results are ac-
tually accomplished held at Fall
Greek in Eau Claire county.
During the Institute E. S. Lever
ich, the county agent, tested 25 sam
pies Of soil acidity, while ]. l.. Zie-
man, a leading farmer in that vicini-
ty secured a list Of names of farmers
who wanted assistance with the fol-
lowing problems:
TWenty-siX farmers wanter further
information about soy beans.
Thirteen ordered soy bean seed.
Thirty-three wanted further infOr-
nation on silos.
Fifteen wanted a cow-testing assO-
citation.
Nine signed up for fruit spraying
ring, and
Twenty-Five united in ordering 121
tons of ground limestone.
Field Crops Fix Profits.
Granting that PRICES are fixed by
forces beyond the control of the in
dividual farmer, it, does not follow
that PROFITS are so fixed. The
farmer himself still has the oportuni-
ty to fix his own profit by securing
the highest unit production possible.
Take the case of soy beans, for ex-
ample. Unoccupied sandy land can
not produce a profit and cultivated
sandy land will not show profit un-
less planted to the right kind of
crops. For profitable production on
light sandy soil there is no crop more
promising than soy beans.
This point is clearly illustrated by
comparison of a 5-acre field each of
oats and soy beans:
5 acres of oats, 80 blu. acre, $50 bu.
at 40c-$60.00.
acres soy BEAMS tons of hay at
$20-$16000.
Difference in favor of soy beans
$4,000.
What would this mean if the sever
al million acres of light" soil in CEN
trail Wisconsin could be put to work
in profitable production!
What is true of soy beans is also
true OF hemp, another new crop ana
every other important farm crop
where pure bred seed gives a higher
yield than the seed in common use.
Land Clearing Key to Farm Profits.
Any large amount of land brought
into cultivation would doubtless in
crease production thus depress prices.
But the land clearing work is design
ed to bring into cultivation idle acres
on small individual farms. The re-
suIting production does not find it's
way into the channels of trade but is
largely consumed on the farms where
it is produced. Hence it does not de-
press prices but raises the standards
of living of the producer. This is the
goal that is sought in the cut-over
areas.
(To be continued next week.

not necessarily affect the volume OF
business which each producer is able
TO do. Better prices combined with
higher production of quality products
for each colony kept is the aim OF
wisconsin beekeepers.
The average increased production
nar colony obtained in eight demon
stration yards was 46 per cent rang
ing from II per cent the lowest to 70
nor cent the highest. This increased
nroduction. due to better management
was obtained at relatively small ex-
nense so that it becomes a favorable
factor on the profit side of the ledger
and is within the reach Of every bee
keeper.
Roys and Girls, ssBegining" Farmers.
In spite of the depressed farming
conditions which have led many
narent to say. Il do not want my child
to be farmer" over $4,000 Wiscon-
sin bows and girls have taken up
"Club Work during the year. over
500 dairy calves have been fed,

were purebred and 500 of these on

Crops That Work Hardest for Us.
Not the least among these is altal-
Ia All the oats, wheat, rye, corn, or
barley grown on the average acre OF

bought for twenty dollars but 1t takes
more than twice that amount to puy

the increasing efforts OF the agrlcul-
tural extension service to improve
conditions and maintain standards OF
living on Wisconsin farms.
Alfalfa a Profitable Crop.
Every ton of home grown alfalfa IS
protected by a high tariff likely to pc
more or less permanent, in the form
of high transportation costs on TINS
bulky product produced in distant
states Millions of dollars are ex-
pended every year by Wisconsin farm
ers for hay and feed that can pc

Higher Production From Drainage.
There can be no profit from unpro-
