*Same as 1926 figures because these
items were not calculated in 1925.
Most producers now are interested
in what they may expect for the 1927
crop. Years of high prices have usu-
ally been followed by periods of low
prices. High prices usually mean
increased acreage and therefore great
er production. When the market fails
to absorb the entire yield, prices
break. Indications are that the acre
age planted in the United States for
1927 will be Is per cent greater than
was harvested in 1926. A normal
yield would cause a total production
of about 40 million bushels. This
would be about Is per cent above
last year, 81 per cent above the short
crop of 1925 and only 3 per cent be-
low the 1924 crop which brought un-
satisfactory returns. If the present
intentions to plant are carried out
and normal yield results, a reduc-
ton in price may be expected for the
1927 crop.
There should be no material change
in the cost factors between 1926 and
1927. The charge for seed is the
item most subject to variation. Pri-
ces for seed will probably be about
two-thirds as high in 1927 as in 1926.

are free from tuber and plant disease.
The price received and the yield will

as presented, with a yield of 80 bu-
shells for Polk county and III bushels
for Pine county, the average county

turns per acre and per hour at vary

Any expansion in acreage this year
should be made only in areas natural
ly well adapted for potato raising,
where large supply of labor is seek
ing employment, or where markets
can be secured without long rail
hauls. Producers who increase their
acreage with the expectation of OBJ
tanning 1925 and 1926 prices may be
disappointed. Only those who can Sc
cure profits at lower prices should
an increase in acreage.

1t was moved and seconded and
unanimously carried to adopt the fol-
lowing resolution:
Whereas, study of the eighth
grade records since 1920 reveal that
the majority of the pupils excused
from attendance in the fall and spring
or both-for work at home fail tt
complete the eighth grade;
Whereas, the admission of large
number of pupils to the class after the
class work has been carried for two
months greatly retards the regulal
progress of the grade and discourages
not only the entering pupils but also
those who started with the opening
of school and the teacher;
Whereas, the attitude of the State
Department of Education is not favor.
able to the granting of excuses fol
the fall and spring months thus plac.
ing the graded state aid in danger OIL

whereas, the unfairness to. the ex.
cused pupils of being put into the

the child that has been in attendance
two months of being retarded by this
addition to the class are both very
apparent; while the lack of schoo
room space forbids the employment
of an additional teacher for such ex.
cused pupils;
Therefore, be it resolved, that the
school board deems that the best in.
terests of the pupils and of the school,
are seriously impaired by excusins
from school for work at home during
the spring and fall months, and thai
such practice shall cease with the

PRODUCTION COST SIC
A BUSHEL- POTATOES
That was the Cost in 1926 on
AskOv Farms in the Cost Ac-
counting ROute.-2Sc Per Bu-
shell in 1925.
By A. Il. HOyerStad

ny IA He hOFefSCa0
Minnesota Farm Management Service.
Potato production is more specula-
tive than most of the farm enterprises
because of the extreme fluctuations
in price. The last two years have
been years of high prices and large
profits. The following table shows
the cost of raising potatoes per bushel
for two areas of the state. Figures
for 1926 only are available for Polk
county but both 1925 and 1926 data
are presented for Pine county. AS
the price received for the 1926 pota-
toes sold was about $1.00 per bushel,
a substantial margin of profit was
obtained. At this price the net re-
turn per acre for Polk county would
have been $29.55 and for Pine county
| $60.37, and the return per hour $1.00
and $1.03 respectively.
Farming is conducted on an ex-
tensive scale in the Red River valley.
The average size of the 1S cooper
ating farms on the Polk county route
was nearly three quarters of a Sec
ton. The average size of the 25 Pine
county farms was about 100 acres.
Larger units of machinery used by
the farmers in Polk county account
for the fewer hours of man labor used.
| The fall rains in 1926 caused a high
labor demand in Pine county, because
many fields had to be dug by hand
and the potatoes sorted to discard the
spoiled ones. The difference in ma
nure charge for the two areas is due
to the greater density of livestock on
the Pine county farms, the greater
| value put on the manure, $1.50 per ton
| as compared with so cents, and the
greater amount of hand labor used
| in spreading it. One of the objects
| in both areas is to get a low cost per
bushel. Those who farm extensively
| aim to get low costs per acre with
fair yields. Those who farm intensely
desire high yields and increase the
cost per acre to secure them. If the
| figures presented are representative,
the intensive producers have the adj
vantage in potato raising. The data
shows a margin of 10 cents per bushel
in 1926.
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1927-04-28

The average acreage of potatoes on
the route farms in 1925 was 1862 acres
per farm. In 1926 the acreage was
increased to 5.32, the increase being
made at the expense of the rutabaga
acreage. Although the acreage was
Increased AZ per cent the total pro-
duction, because of the lower yield
