family, and in addition to what the
farm contributed toward the family
living,-milk, butter, eggs, potatoes,
fruit, etc. Thirty-one farmers made
over $4,000 for their time, made
over $4,000 and one farmer made
nearly $4,000.
Striking contrasts are shown in
studies in the cost of production. Stu
dies in the cost of producing milk in
western Washington in 1919 show
costs on individual farms varying
from $1.94 per 100 bounds of milk on
the best managed farm, to $3.50 per
100 pounds on the poorest managed
farm. A similar study made of the
cost of production of milk in Spokane
and Stevens counties in 1922 showed
a variation from $1.73 per 100 pounds
to S6.78 per 100 pounds.
A study of the cost of production
of wheat in the Palouse country in
1920 showed range in cost on diff
ferent farms from 20 cents per bu-
shell on the best managed farm to
$3.50 Der bushel on the poorest man
aged farm, similar studies of 2S4
farms in the central states for 1919
showed range in cost of producing
winter wheat on individual farms
from 96 per bushel to 1924 per bushel
Similar results have been found ev-
everywhere that such studies have
been made. In every district some
farmers can cut costs much below
their neighbors. In fact, under the
least favorable conditions studied,
there are always a few farmers who
are able to farm profitably. On the
other hand, no conditions have been
found SO favorable that there would
not be few farmers operating at a
loss.
One of the main purposes of all
these studies has been to determine
if possible, the essential features of
management of those farmers who
have succeeded. These fundamental
principles will be discussed in e SER
les of IL radio tallSs to be given each
Friday evening until the series is
completed. These principles are i'm
portant to all who secure their in.

simply stating what he believed to be

get your point of view, and the next

Consequently. the union is now en-

In answer TO the letter Of Nttor-

printed in last night : Press, Attor-

the question of whether or not the

fcas"ncc in office.
Following is the statement Of At

nislcad the public into believing
that the All-American canal or

admits that the sole issue involved
in the prosecution of the directors is
the question of whether or not those
directors have been and are guilty
of malfeasance in office for wilful
and corrupt misconduct i'll their
duties.
1t is certainly gratifying TO fin-
ally have a frank admission of the
