D. ws] DITOR Nonpartisan #| Leader: Find inclosed herewith a field record which I kept on 40 acres. This was rented land and I got the half crop. I figured wages as were paid this year out' here. If we have another year like this it will mean leave the farm, for we can not make both ends meet with today’s prices for what we have to buy. ; PETER GOETTLE. Mr. Goettle’s land is section 20; 157- 88.

Mr. Goettle’s share was 118 bushels. $298.70, or at the rate of $2.64 a bushel, considerably higher than the average. 2 But deducting his costs of $239.70 he made a profit of just $69 on the year’s operations. The Leader would like to receive field records from other farmers who have kept them for the past season.
