The COJt of Production.
'I'ho question Is freQuently asIwd
whelhor the faruwI' should try to I
malw mono ) ' by getllng a larger price '
Cor the things he grows or b ) ' cheap.
( JIllng IJroduction. Wo reply both ,
but In the main It must ho by ch'ap ,
enlng production. 'rho roasol1 Is that
the contl'ol'of coat of production Is
lUore IlIlder his hallll than the control

In ! ; wheat hei1l ; be facIne ; } ll'lces ,
that are made b ) ' world-wide concH.
tlons. What Is the use of a man' '
aloPlJlng production 0 : wheat and say. '
IlIg that before ho pl'Oduces auy I
maI'O wheut ho wi1l help sho\'o the
11I'lco up to a I1gul'o fill' In excess oC
that pro\'alting at the present tlme'l
Some men are sa 'ing that , but these
sumo mon can huvo no more effect on
lho pI'Ice or whent in the WOl'ld than
the man that OWIlS a meadow brool (
can affect the tides of the ocean ,
which 110w hnck nnd fortlt in response
to great laws VIII'Y far be 'ond tl1e
control of mnn.
'I'llo man In his wheat field has tea
a consIderable extent the cost of pro.
ductlon under control , and his ability
to manIpulate the factors that enter
Into the cost of production will de.
termlne hIs pro1lt or his loss. The
cost of production . . . .111 be determined
b ' numerous thIngs , among thorn the
yIeld or crops. ' 1'hor ( ' Is many n
( armor that sa 's he Is malting money
from the a\'eruges ho now 1'I1ises and
Is not Il1l'tlcular ! allOut malting more.
H UW.t Is so ho should bo contonted.
nut there are thousands of farmers
that J [ they lept hooks on every crop
would find that the ' were annually
losIng on some oC tholr croplO , Of
tbis they are now ignorant. The in.
crease of the average yield Is the
first an most Important moans of decreasIng -
creasIng the cost , That these ) 'Iolds
cnn he Immensely increased under
belter l1Icthods of culture Js prove
ho 'ond 1111 controversy by the results
lhat have been altalned In dlITerent
Europenn countries. The average
ylold of wheat pOI' acre In England
Is double what It Is In the United
States. This alone shows how great.
Iy wo can yet reduce the cost or each
bushel of wheat gl'own on our farms.
Another great factor In reducing
the cost Is drainage , thIs letting the
all' Into the ground and makIng ere
avn.ltable by oxidizIng It the manure
now in the gl'ound or that Is annually
placed thero. Wo go oncar after
yeor bur 'Ing manure In the ground
nnd then so saturating It with "Nuter
that the all' cannot malw It sultablo
for plant food. The complete utlllza.
tlon of all the CertllIty placed In the
soil Is one of the most complete ways
or rOduclng the cost of the crops.
Fertilizers Without Humus.
Where soil docs not respond to the
labor of the husbandman It has been
the general practIce to apply ommer.
crnl fel'tlilzers , and the marvel has
sometimes hecn great that even these
did not seem to bring out the strength
o ! the land to produce crops , UntIl
I'ecent times it has not heon realized
that the supply of humus In the soli
was of very great Importance end
U1I1t the resuP.II 'lng or the humus Is
the first thIng to bo looled after when
the lan is to be bl'oush ; . back to Its
former productivity. A man will do
well to first ascertain If there Is a
lacl. of humus In the solt and in case
ho finds t11at to bo the case ho should
at on co prococd to add humus. This
may bo ono In various ways. In
case the area is small It can be fllled
with humus best by the application of
barnyard manure , which always con.
talns 11 great denl of vcgetabla mat.
tel' . "TO have sometimes said that
fiber , which Is large ! ) ' corbohYdrate ,
has no manurin.l power. That Is truo.
but Itls not the manurial quamy that
counts with humus. The humus holds
water and prcvents the land drying
O1lt and it at the sarno limo holds
with it some manurIal elements that
are lot loose on the decay of the fIbor.
A farmer should use every occasIon
to get humus Into his salt. The burn.
ing of [ of the corn stalls and stubble
or grain Is : J. proceeding that tends
to destroy the supp ! ) . of humus.
'I'hoso should alwa's bo turned under.

Hay In the Mow.
