ONE DOLLAR CORN AND
BETTER WHEAT PRICES

Kansas City, Mo-, Feb. 28.-"Corn
will sell for 81 bushel next year.
DIR. David Friday, authority on agri-
cultural economics, predicted here
Wednesday.
DR.. Friday, president of the Michi-
gan Agricultural college, based his
prediction on the exceptionally small
crop expected in 1928 in face of an
almost certain large increase in do
mestic and foreign demands.
He was called here by railroads as
witness in the interstate commerce
commission on the request of four
western states for ten per cent
freight rate reduction on grain and
grain products.
"Wheat also will take part in the
advance, altho not as strongly as
corn" DR.. Friday said. "The seeming
return to somewhat stable conditions
in southeastern Europe will augment
the expectation of all grain. A phe-
nomenal increase in livestock in this
country and Europe in the last twelve
months. also must be taken into con-
sideration."
DR.. Friday painted word picture
of prosperity for the farmers in 1923,
rivaling the good times and high
prices Immediately preceding and
following the war.

END OF AN OLD GRAFT

The agricultural appropriation bill
has passed both houses of congress,
and without any provision for free
seeds to be distributed by our con-
gressmen. Hereafter the distribu-
tion will be in direct charge of the
agricultural department, as it should
be and the congressman who has al
ways used the seeds to make himself
solid with the folks back home, and
who has burdened the mail by send
ing them to people who had absolutely
no use for them, will now have to hunt
new shaft. The way congressman
used the free seeds meant waste of
thousands of dollars year. But it
served as a sort of vote-getter and
friendship maker for some of them.
and that was what they needed. The
Julesburg citizen who now wants
government seeds can secure them by
addressing the Department of Agri-
culture at Washington. He doesn't
have to be slighted simply because the
congressman distributing the seeds
happened to be elected by the oppo-
site party from his, as has often been
the case under the old system of free
seed distribution,

THE FUTURE COUNTRY TOWN

One of the most notable features of
rural development during recent years
is along the line of town planning.
This partly follows the movements
for better city planning as seen in
larger places, and yet is broader in
that it seeks to consider all the needs
Of a town and plan for them.
The country town of former years
was haphazard and unorganized as
semblage of people who. happen to
live near together, yet who did not
consider their civic and business needs
in any systematic way, and did not
form we'll arranged plans to meet
those needs.
The future country town will plan
for its growth. 1t will lay out spaces
for parks and Fairgrounds and school
house lots that are going to be need
ed, and it will take them and set them

DOING WITHOUT THINGS

1t is surprising how much people
demand in the way of comforts il they
are living in settled and prosperous
communities, and how little they can
get along with when they go off on
vacations, or when they make a start
in new surroundings.
Economists claim that large part
of the. money that people spend goes
to maintain social position or keep
up with their neighbors. People do
not feel that they are in the game
nowadays, or are getting their share
of fun. unless they have an automo-
bile. Yet few years ago they never
felt any special longing for this form
Of sport. 1t is the same with many
life.
People who at home live in highly
finished or costly way, will 60 off on
vacation to some little shack, and
live in a few tiny rooms and have a
lovely time. Or if circumstances
seem to make it necessary, they will
go on some lonely ranch, and live in a
primitive dwelling without conven-
lences. Women who occupy such
homes tell of the happiness they felt
"heh tney got their first rug or pic
ture.
Yet they may be more contented in
life where they are doing earnest
work and keeping we'll through yigor
Gus activity, than if they were sitting
around in city home in an idle way.
1t is natural that people who are earn
ing good pay or making money should
spend something for luxury to sweet
EN- life. But as rule, people strive
and fres too much for mere things.
The only thing that can make them
happy is activity in useful employ
ments or wholesome diversions. The
more acquisitions many people get.
t'e more discontented they are. If
they would spend some of their luxury
money on philanthropic activities and
spend less time in fretting and more
in healthful outdoor life, they would
be happier.

Beet Costs and
Labor Income


The attempt to make beet growing .ap-
near unprofitable by basing returns on the
initial payment will fail with farmers who
understand the 1923 beet contract 1t is not
fairly to be called $3.50 contract.
When the 1922 beet contract was an
nounced, with it's initial payment OF S5 per
ton. some called it S. contract Six dol
lars per ton have already been paid.
Additional Dollar Per Ton Payment To Be
Made April End
An additional dollar per ton on the 1922
crop will be paid April End. The fallacy' of
computing returns from the 1922 crop on the
basis of SIS per ton when 81 will have been
paid is likely to be duplicated if 1923 costs
are compared with the $3.50 initial payment
in the new beet contract.
Should "Costs" Include Income
Published figures on the cost of produc-
ing an acre of sugar heets include as cost
the wages the farmer himself receives for
manuring, plowing, planting, cultivating, ir-
rigating, etc. A similar method of estimat-
ing COSLS OIL OII0I crops lIlCluOlllS 1dUOl III
come as cost would make these other crops
less profitable than beets.
If return on investment is counted as
cost and if in addition the farmer charges up
his wages as cost without considering this
as income for his own labor, no average
farmer would make profit on any average
crop.
An average beet crop will return more
labor income per acre than any other aver
age crop at normal prices On yields above
the average the beet grower gets in addition
to his labor income profit on his own work
and upon the work of hands hired at going
rates of wages.
% Years Experience Has Proven These
Facts To Beet Growers
The beet sugar industry has grown be-
cause farmers realized it's advantage, among
which are included large labor income per
acre. profits according to yields, cheap by
products and cash market for the crop.
The beet farmers will continue to real
ize these advantages in greater measure un-
der the 1923 sliding scale contract because it
gives growers liberal participation in the
proceeds of the industry
