HOW ANDY MADE HIS MONEY
BY Albert Apple

Forty years ago young fellow named Anderson with
out penny to his name drifted into hopeless looking vii
LACE in central Ontario, Canada.
He was among strangers His pocketbook was empty
And he didn't have much in the OF education The VII
age he started work of those backwoods COM
munities which seem totally lacking in opportunity
Andersons first job in this place feeding cattle at
the railroad stockyardscatte driven in by farmers and
awaiting shipment.
Today the village still is village about 800 people:
Andersons hair is whitening He shows the marks OF
hard work But he is rich enough to spend his winters in
Florida He owns general store He owns timber land.
also houses that bring him steady income of $3.50 month
He's worth about a quarter of Million
That's not tremendous fortune compared with some OF
the men who are known all over the continent.
But Andy has all the money he needs He's happy His
life has been useful helping his community He has raised
to manhood three fine boys and they taking his place
as he rests his All around he's real success
Now when Andy arrived in this village, he met lot OF
other young fellows. Some got out Some stayed They
had the notion that there wasn't opportunity locally
And they were right, far they themselves
cerned. Most of them where they started. They
haven't gotten anywhere Andy is the only in town
who has made money.
And he made in community, buried in the woods and
rocks where short and winters 50 below zero
short community that would look hopeless to nearly
every man ambitious to get ahead.
The answer is that opportunity not found it is made
1t isn't the town the job that counts it's the man.
Natural ability and luck may enter into the matter to
considerable extent But that doesn't alter the fact that
opportunity is everywhere-for the right

FARM COSTS ARE DOWN
(St Paul DiSDatch)

ISL. Paul DlSpatcn)
The wheat crop of North Dako-
Ia was produced this year at a
cost Of 81 cents a bushel; it's rye
crop cost SO cents; its fax crop
cost $l.49. This is the lowest
production cos1ssince the war and
the first time during that period
that the farmer had received a
price above the cost of production.
He certainly made a profit.
The figures are not mere
guesses. They are the result Of
the tabulation. Of costs from 100
demonstration farms in North Da-
kota, compiled and issued by Rex
+. Willard of the U. S. experiment
station and j. r. ThorfinnsOn, his
assistant. For nearly decade a
close record of costs Of production
have been kept by these experts
using the experiment station
farms and privately owned farms
all over the state to arrive at the
average. The cost figure of $l.49
a bushel for wheat was arrived at
in 1923 by the same careful
IuctuOu. 1NotuIuS III tohCu Aoi
granted. Every item of cost is in
cluded, except possibly the valu-
able minerals, nitrogen, phos-
phorus and the like, taken from
the soil with the crop.
The hope of the farmer has been
that he could get cost plus for his
product But, previous to the
work of Professor willard and his
assistant, there was no means of
knowing the cost. The farmer
raised his wheat, took the market
price and guessed at his profit or
his loss. 1t is different today and
the figures supplied the farmer as
to costs have interested him in
knowing how far above or below
| par his were. To assist him, the
experts prepared simple records
| wherein hundreds of farmers now
keep account of every cent that
goes into their industry and when
the crop is sold in the fall or win
ter, they know whether they have
been running economically or
wastefully. Once they know their
costs they can set up price that
! the buyer knows is fair. That
will end in simplifying marketing.
1t is the primary step forward CIV
| ing the farmer the same deal as
labor and industry now has.
