Farmers Will Demand Cost Plus Profit
Farmers have for many years supplied
"the consuming world with food e
at prices that make life on the farm
a hard battle with poverty. The farmers
and their families have wrestled
with weeds, floods, drouth, disaster "
and disease for years to produce all
the choicest food that consumers
wanted at prices almost as cheap as
dirt. They have been forced to wear b
out their lands, keep their children in S
the field instead of school, and have d
known little of the comforts and lux- I
uries of life.
Now that the price of farm pro1

C1UCIS iuu> reatucu a pvm> ..^ 0 ?
farmers can see light and have a
chance to enjoy some of the comforts
of life, town and city people are sending
up a mighty howl over the cost
of food. t
Those who are making the most ?
noise over the price of food seem to
think that the farmer must bestir j
himself to grow enormous quantities t
of sixty-cent wheat, forty-cent corn, j
five-cent cattle, four-cent hogs and .
other food products on the same basis, t
They seem to think that it is the
duty of farmers and their families to ,
produce large quantities of food to ,
sell below the cost of production.
The most progressive farmers will
continue to make use of all the prac- ?
tical knowledge and assistance the ?
agricultural colleges, experiment sta- ,
tions, county agents and farn. oapers ,
can give to enable them Co grow
large crops. These men will increase ,
the fertility of the soils, plant the y
most prolific seed, fertilize liberally, ,
use strong teams or tractors and la- ,
bor-saving implements and machinery ,
to supply the needs of the world for {
food; but they will demand cost of J
production plus a fair profit They ,
are no longer willing to keep their ,
children out of school and toil from <
[twelve to fourteen hours per day for J
a mere existence. They are unwilling j
to work longer hours than town peo- <
pie, and they demand the same edu- j
cational advantages and the same j
comforts in their home.?The Pro- ^
gressive Farmer.

Silver now is worth nearly five cents
an ounce more as metal than it is as
coin. Silver for San Francisco delivery
was quoted yesterday at $1.34
an ounce, as compared with $1.29 an
ounce, which is the basis on which ,
silver in coin is valued. Silver for ]
New York delivery was quoted at $1.32%
an ounce. Buying for Chinese
account is believed to be responsible i
I for the advance. ]
