enough to wipe out all the profit

site.
So, once again, our advice to
each and every Individual farmer
Is: Flnt of all, build up your soil
and Increase your average yields.
No matter how high prlcee may get,
unless yon make a respectable yield,
yon will get scant pay for your
labor, With a good soil and good
crops, you are assured, even In
season of low pricee. of fairly remu
nerative returns. The only men who
make money on their eottdit crops—
or any other crop—-when prices are
low era the men who make big
yield*. The men who make moat
money when prices are high are
these same men. The average farm
er—the 170-pound man—will get
almost nothing tor his labor In
season of low prices, and no vary
large wages even when prices, aa at
present, are good.
We bolleve It Is the duty of every
farmer to do all he can to Insure A
fair price for tho things they pro
duce: but to him personally It Is
worth Just as much to reduce the
ooet of production as to raise the
Yelling price, and he oan do far
more at It. The margin between
cost and selling price Is what counta
and there Is no surer way to Inoreeae
thi. margin than to build up the soli
so ns to raise large crops. This Is,
we believe, the first and greatest
thing for the farmer to do. That
he Is dojng it, will not decrease hit
efficiency In promoting any measure
for the general good. It will Increaao
It, Indeed; for In any economic strug.
glo the man who la not his own mao-
ter financially Is not likely to be a
very formidable contestant, no mat
ter how willing hla spirit may be.
