INCREASED YIELDS PER ACRE THE SUREST WAY TO PROFITS. There is a vast difference be tween the growing of a large crop more than the world needs, which forces down prices, and growing a larger yield per acre. The de ference is so plain that it is stran that so many farmers and some agricultural writers seem unable to make the distinction. But it still more strange that those agricultural writers who volun teer their advise regarding mark eting and the economies of agri cultural production often fall in to the same error. Those who should know better often charge the United States Do partment of Agriculture and those who deal with the produc tion side of agriculture, with ad vising farmers to grow large crops and make this a basis for severe criticism. If they do not know it, that the Agriculture Depart ment has never advised or in any ■way encouraged the farmers of this country to grow larger crops than the markets of the world would take at a fair price. But what those engaged in ag ricultural production work have sought to bring about is tlie pro duction of what tbe world will take at a fair price, more econo mically. While American yields per acre remain low there will he no other way hy which the cost of production can be reduced and profits increased as effectively as by increasing our yields per acre. Thirly bushels of corn per acre will yield as much money return at .$1 a bushel as 20 bushels at $1.50 a bushel. Or 250 pounds of lint cotton per acre will give as large money returns or profits at 171/2 cents a pound as 175 pounds, our last ten-year average, at 25 cents a pound. Because one strives his hardest to bring about conditions whi<*li will enable the Southern farmer to produce 250 pounds of lint cot ton per acre and 30 bushels of corn, can, only by tbe. height absurdity', he conetrued into ad vising or trying to got him to pro duce more of those crops than the world take at a fair price. There are many farm products used in the South of which we have nev er produced enough. On the other band, we have often produced more cotton than the world would take at a living price. Surely it is only common sense to work for a yield of 250 or 300 pounds of lint per acre in producing the cot ton which the world will take at a fair price, if for no other reason than that one-third the land now planted to cotton may he devoted to the growing of these crops of which we have never yet produc ed sufficient for our own use. The same sort of lack of vision or understading has led many to advocate the use of less fertili zers, to reduce the yields per acre, in order to reduce the total produc tion. In othed words, we must all be poor farmers in order to suc ceed. Those who study produc tion problems would not have the farmers of the South produce ov er say 10, 000,000 bales cotton this year, hut they would have them produce this cotton on the smallest acreage practicable, by using more fertilizers judiciously and by better methods of farm ing. In short, if the South would produce 250 pounds of lint cotton per acre she could produce the 10, 000,000 bales on 20 million acres, whereas if she produces only 175 pounds per acre, or less because of smaller use of fertilizers, it will require from 2S to 30 million acres now wasted in cotton production to produce food and feed crops for our own use. This criticism of our National Department of Agriculture, ex periment stations, agricultural col eges and other workers in the field of agricultural production with in dueing or trying to induce the far mers to produce larger crops than the markets of the world will take at a fair price, by ignorant self styled economists (?) has been IMPORTANT TO DISABLED SOLDIERS. The United States government through the Federal Vocational Board for the rehabilitation of persons disabled in military or na val service has asked of us another piece of patriotic work. This is to find all of the disabled soldiers in the county and tell them of the wonderful opportunity that they have to be trained by the govern ment in shop and in school. Every person who incurred a disability, either through injury or disease, as a result of military or naval service, whether foreign or domestic, with the United States forces during the recent war against Germany is entitled to apply to the Bureau of War Risk Insurance, Washington, 1). <: for COMPENSATION. Every person who is awarded compensation is entitled to apply to the Federal Board for Vocation al Education for re-education or training. A man may apply for any line of training he desires. So far as is consistent willi expert judgment, his desires will he con sidered. As there are comparatively few government schools at which dis abled men may he trained, a con tract is usually arranged with a civilian institution. Courses vary in character and length from a few weeks’ shop trainig to colle giate and professional instruction. While a man is in training lie receives a “temporary total disa bility” compensation from the Bn reau of War Risk Insurance. A former private receives the pay of his grade, or $3O per month. Higher grades receive their base pay. To the Bureau payments the Federal Board adds sufficient to each case to provide $65 per month for every man in training. The Bureau pays additional sums for the support of dependents. Commissioned officers receive the base pay of their rank while in training. All tuition fees, supply expenses, etc., are paid by the Joard. Out of hiA $65 per month a man in training has only to pay his board, lodging, and individual personal expenses. There is no reville, drill, and re treat to vocational training for diabled men. After completion for training, a disabled soldier,sailor, or marine is entitled to be placed by the Fed eral Board in a position where he may earn a living. Full compensn tion is allowed for the ilrst month after the completion of training. Disabled soldiers who do not desire training but wish to secure employment are entitled to the ser vices of the Placement Depart ment of the Board, even when not technically entitled to compensa tion. Any discharged soldier, sailor, or marine who lias a disability in curred as a result of service and wishes to take advantage oT this opportunity please got in louch with your Farm Demonstrator, or with your Home Demonstration Agent.
