ADVERTISEMENTS On the Bai of F écts G The life of our country is built around its Public Utilities. Our social, in- dustrial and Government activities could not exist today ‘without the contin- ued operation of their in- dispensable services. That such services may be extended and developed to be of the greatest use to the greatest number, the Federal Government and practically all the states have appointed Public Service Commissioners as permanent tribunals to regulate public utilities with fairness to all concerned, GPL s One Policy ear ) toform $2.60 a bottle d.

Thée only solution to our problem seems to me to "be to cut down the acreage. I have just figured up the expense of raising an acre of wheat, going as it did here, 10 bushels per acre: Plowing cveeeveescccensess$3.00 Seeding and cultivating.... 1.25 Twine ..... seseies .30 Cutting ceeveeveoes 2 5 ‘Shocking .eveeeeveececases .50 Threshing and hauling to Eranary eeecececees veos o 2:20 Hauling to market......... .80 Hail insurance ......... vee 430 Interest on capital at 6 per cent Jieiiacens e 3.00 Taxes oovue R R 50 Total cost per acre...... $15.60 Sold 10 bushels for...... 13.50 Loss per acre.......... $2.10 The above expenses per acre are very conservative. Seed, for instance, was higher than $2 per bushel last spring. Six per ceént for capital in- vested is rather low, as real estate loans are now 7 and 8 per cent. No account has been taken of loss of fer- tility, as this item could not be cal- culated accurately. Now let us put this squarely before the people that we must be assured a price that will cover cost of produc- tion and a price that will not fluctuate | like it does now, and then cut down production. That seems to be the only - weapon left us. Congress dilly-dallies along doing nothing to save agricul- ture from ruin. Let us make an ef- fective strike. PEDER L. HIELMSTAD. Edmore, N. D. FROM FLORIDA Editor Nonpartisan Leader: I am kept pretty busy scrapping with a few men who eall themselves North Da- kota farmers, but really put in most of their time knocking the League. It would be amusing if it were not so sad. What fools these mortals be! They will do anything and everything to better their conditions—but unite to vote together to help their class and all other laborers. JOHN W. SANBORN.
