Wheat, oats, corn, potatoes and beans are the crops grown. I have no free labor in the way of chil- dren to help out, all labor and horse power is hired and charged to fields. In a 12-year period of operation I found myself regularly putting in ne fresh money to keep up. To find the trouble I started to keep books, on po- tatoes first, then on all crops. Five years of record on potatoes and three years on thé farm as a whole is now |- complete. " In the three years of rec- ord one was a bumper, one a fair and. Last Big Block of the Canadian Pacific Reserved Farm Lands HIS announces the offering of the last big block of the Canadian Pacific Reserved Farm ' Lands. Until this block is disposed of you can secure at low cost a farm home in Western Canada that will make you rich and independent. The country is ideal for mixed farming as well as grain growing. Later, the same lands can be bought only from private owners—and naturally, prices will be higher. Never again on the North American Continent will farm lands be offered at prices 5o low, -Your Last Big No Taxes on > Opportunity Improvements This block contains both \§ :!“lh?redis a dsmall ta\xt on uts er eare no n you!

The farm is equipped with a full set of tools of all kinds, for which I have made no charge except i | for repairs and renewals of worn' PIC(' H parts.

I have grown potatoes in -large quantities, my original idea, or guess, as to cost, was $35 per acre. Books now show I was nearly 100 per cent off. It may be interesting to other farmers to know how this crop varies as to cost and yield with every year, so I stick in the record, cents omitted: Acre cost Acre yield « 377 6,800 pounds 8,300 pounds 2,240 pounds 7 400 pounds ’200 pounds The ylelds glven are in marketable | potatoes, small potatoes are not ac- counted for. They were left in the field unpicked. - This shows, when the best modern tools are used, that the average acre cost is $72 and the average yield 4,928 pounds," giving-a fraction over $1.50 per 100 pounds as the labor cost of producing sacked potatoes deliver- ed at local warehouse or loading sta- tion, ‘¢ Ten cents must be added to this to cover the use of land and if we add ;| another 10° cents for profit we will have $1.70 as’the actual cost. I see no prospect-of receiving this for po- tatoes so I have now stowed away my tools and will quit growing them. The results shown by my books is' a revelation to-me.
