COUNCIL BLUFFS , IOWA.
IOW FARMING PAYS IN NEBRASKA.
At a recent mooting of the Dixon
( County Farmers' institute , Senator II.
J. Shutmvay rend the following paper on
Does Farming Pay : "
In the fall ot 1880 wo purchased 240
icres of land , of which 160 was improved
mil for which wo paid $10 per aero , or
13,840. In 1887 wo broke 40 acres more ,
[ nitting 150 acres In corn , wheat and oats
ind 40 acre1" in llax , leaving 50 ncrob for
lasturo and hay. That year wo paid for
cuttle , horses , ftoirs. farm machinery ,
etc. , $3,811.76. But before January wo
ind sold from the farm $2,121.U ! ! , in produce -
duce and live stock and grain , leaving
is after deducting all cost ot labor , taxes ,
ind 10 per cent Uiierost on all money
invested in land und chattels , a clear
jirolltof $957.58 , oraolear profitof almost
? 4 per act o , after deducting oxpciibcsund
nturcst.
In 1888 wo rented part of the land. It
was a mistnko.Vo" would have done
nuch better to have hired the labor and
'armed It oui'selvos. That year's in
voice only fallowed , after deducting ex-
Dense and 10 per cent interest , a clear
iirolit of $318 , out that left us , nfvor 10
> er cent interest , $1.30 per acre clear
profit.
In 188 ! ) wo sold ono 160-acro farm at an
idvanco of $000 , and added to our farm a
iialf boction at $20 per aero , so wo
farmed that year 400 acres. On ac
count of the great drop in prices of
live stock , light crops and low prices ,
1889 was probably the hardest year
northeast Nebraska farmers have had
since grasshopper times. It was a hard
voiir fo" us , also , for when we invoiced
wo lacked $220.50 of clearing 10 per
cent. But as wo farmed 400 acres it
snly lacked 55 cents per acre of clear
ing ten per cent. , or in other words , it
paid expenses , 10 nor cent interest on
all money invested in chattels , and 7J
per cent on farm lands.
In 1890 wo sold another 80 acres on
which wo made $480 , and loft us only
the half section to farm. The big prices
for this year's crops made this an ex
ceptionally good year , for when the
balances were cast it left us 8950 as clear ,
prollts , or $3 per acre besides 10 nor cent
interest.
Tlio year 1891 was goneraUy a good
year , but wo lost considerable money on
horses , so the invoices only showed a
clear profit of $400 , or $1.2. * ) per aero , be
sides 10 per cont.
This fall wo could have sold out-our
half section of land for $80 per aero. If
\vo had done so and stopped farming the
result would have boon as follows :
Clear profits , after paying all ex
penses , labor , taxes , and 10 per
cent InteroM on money invested
in land and chattels $2,405 03
Made by advance of land 4,280 00
Clear profits at Waltefleld ? 0,055 08
At Coleridge Everett has farmed
bOO acres for tbroo years , which
now show a clear prollt of 4,500 00
Totolproflt * 11.1B5 OS
So our linn is over $11,000 bolter off
thnli it would have boon had wo never
engaged in farming , while if wo had
charged farm land with 8 per cent in
terest instead of 10 per cent our invoice
would have shown over $1,000 moro
prolit.
And when wo hear people complain
that they cannot make a living on a
farm wo fool that there must bo a screw
loose somewhere. Wo have farmed tea
a great disadvantage ; for my tiino has
been so occupied with my business that
I could not give iho farms the at
tention that they deserved : and there
are many farmers In this country wnoso
profits in comparison with the money
invested would make our profits appear
very insignificant. Wo can boo
in every direction farmers who came
hero only a few years ago with but llttlo
moans and now have nice houses , line
farms , largo herds , no debts except
these they can easily pay. and are
worth from $10,000 to $16,000.
Guided by our own experience , in an-
swoiinglho important question , "Does
farming pay'j" ' I would say most em-
plmtlciilly , it does ; and thai I fully bo
liovo il pays bettor than mercanlilo
business. Is proven by the fact that in
Iho last few years I have Hold out my in
terest in business atVinside , Concord
and Coleiidgo , and as fast as I could got
the money have invested it in landh , this
fall having bought 210 acres moro for
a pnrmanonl investment. I want my
boys to bo farmers , and good land
in this part of the state will Boon bo
hard to got at any price , and as fast as 1
got money iiho id I expect to invest it in
lands. I believe that farm land is a
bettor investment than umk : shares ,
railroad stock or even government
bonds. I have great faith in northeast
Nebraska , tor with the exception of
Arizona und Now Mexico I have visited
every state ana territory west of the
MUnltsippl river to find good , ohonp
farmland , and believe that today northeast -
east Nebraska oilers advantages un
equalled by any section in the western
half of the United States ,
And in conclusion 1 would bay that '
farming pays well , and the success of 05
per cent of our farmers proves that it
pays. And I believe that the future
prosperity of the farmer depends in u
great measure upon having a wUo pro-
toctlvo policy. But if our manufactor
ies are crippled , BO the masses of the
cities book the farms , the over-produc
tion would make farm produoa u drug
on the market , Our manufactories
should bo stimulated und increased until
the American cities moro than consume
the products of the American farms.
Then wo would have a homo market in
dependent of foreign countries. Then
the price of farm products would bo
increased not only by what it now costs
to ship products abroad , but also by
what it would cost other countries to
ship produce hero to compete with our
farmers. And if the protective policy
is wisely used , I believe there will como
to American farmers an era of pros
perity that has never been equalled by
any class of people in the history of the
world.
