FARM CROPS PAID
PROFIT LAST YEAR
Agriculture Department Re-
ports Difference Between
Costs and Selling Prices.

The average cost last year of pro-
ducing wheat on 4,616 farms distribut-
ed fairly well over the country was
$1.22 per bushel. compared with an
average sale value of SLAB a bushel,
the Department of Agriculture has an
nounced.
The average cost of the corn crop on
7.l53 farms was 50 cents a bushel,
compared with a sale value of $1.10 a
bushel. and the average cost of oats
on $500 farms was so cents a hushel,
compared with a sale value of 81 cents
a bushel
Potato Profits Lower.
Reports from 2S4 cotton growers
having average yields of 16l pounds
of lint per acre show an average cost
of Is cents a pound and an average
sale price of % cents per pound. For
potatoes in different sections of the
country average production costs were
below the average selling price, but
the margin was less than in 1928.
Costs include charges for labor of
the farmer and his family, and a
charge for the use of the land on a
cash rental basis, so that where cost
just equaled the price received the
farmer was paid for his time and his
investment. The yields on the farms

for 1922, 1928 and 1924 shows that
there was little difference in the aver

ried from sc cents in 1922 to 50 cents
in 1924 whereas the value per buShel

THREE BANDITS
HOLD UP TRAIN
MAKE ESQ AP E
By United Press Leased Wire

LOS. ANGELES, Mar. 12.-Threc
bandits sheld up Santa Fe work
traih at Wiseburn station near here
today and robbed 100 Mexican la
b0rdrs of two weeks pay, according
to Word flashed to the local sher-
iff'l office.
The robbers worked in true west
erp | fashion, according to the re
ports. They raided the train, which
wass standing OIL siding, shortly
befdre dawn and ordered the Mex
icans outside where they were lined
along the tracks.
Waffle two of the bandits cover
ed the victims with guns, a third
passed down the line with 30
gallon sombrero and forced the
Mexicans to "kick in,' with their
pay envelopes.
Total amount of the loot was not
determined but it will probably
amount to approximately $4,000.
The bandits fled towards Los An
geles in an automobile. W
Constable Reynolds of Inglewood,
notified of the holdup, took up the
chase. as the bandit ear sped
through the town. His machine,
however, was, not fast enough and
he was soon outdistanced.
The license number on the rob
ber's automobile was obtained by
Officers and found to belong to a
San Francisco man. 1t is believed
the machine was stolen.
The work train had been parked
on siding at Wiseburn for several
weeks. The Mexicans had just re-
ceived their semimonthly wages
and the robbery had apparently
been timed for the occasion.
