(Written Specialiy for The Bulletin.) It's just parrot work to say that most of us farmers don't make much money: The fact is & truism, so trite that it seems almost bunal to repeat it. One of the biggest farmers ia my home town, a man with exceptional faeilitle for knowing whereof he speaks, re- marked, the other day, that he didn't belleve there was & farmer in the town who was making $500 & year, af- ter paying himself day's wages. And there are several farms in this town on_which 3500 wouldn’'t pay the taxes and six per cent on the investment. 1 haven't all the census figures at hand, | but according to my somewhat uncers | tain memory, the average income farmers throughout the country isu't| that much. Mighty few of us need worry over Now, there isn't one master- this, applicable to all farmers natory of aji cases. There ar whole lot of reason Some of them | are outside the farm, amd some are | sprouted right on the fatm. Some are due to faults of other peopie, and some are due to fallures under our own hats, It is easier to blame the other fel- | low; but it is sometimes more profit- able to stick a few pins into our- selves. The fact that such prickings are more or less palnful doesn’ sarily invalidate their usefulne: We farmers aren’t having a fair deal and an even shake in the market eards are stacked against us, and the dice are loaded by our opponents. But, after all, that is something for which we ourselves are at least partly tog blame.

But we are, the most of | ug, still “agin it,” both in theory and in praetice. A good many of us have the spirit of the New Hampshire party who “had ruther lose ten do! any- | time than see Smith make a dbllar.” Taking things as they are and people as we find them, perhaps some im- mediate good can be derieved from thinking a little more about the other | class of reasons why we don't make | money; the reasons which inhere im | ourselves. In the first place, there are a great | many of us who aren’t fitted to make money. We sither weren't born with the money-grabbing instinct, or we haven't trained ourselves into it. I often wonder how many of us who | don't and can't make money on the farm, either could or would make | money in & dry goods store or a meat | market? In other words, how many | are really born money-making? | Acgording to the figures obtained by | the government in its process of en- forcing the income tax law, there are | 28,240,000 people in this coumtry re- celving incomes as profits from busi- | ness, as salaries and wages, as receipts from investment. Of this vast num- | ber just 425,000 are in receipt of an- | nual incomes exceeding $600, and 37,815,000 receive only $600 or less a | year. Tineline to the belief that most of the | farmers of the country are jncluded in | that 27,815,000. But ¢hat 37,815,000 | aren't all farmers, for there are only about a dozen million farmers in the United ates. That leaves 100,0000, who are not and yet are getting only $600 less. a vear or The simple truth is that making money is a faculty /by itself, abnor- y developed in some, partly devel- ome, and practically undevel- | n a great many. The oecupa- n of farming, having to deal, as it does, with things of real and in herent importance, rather n with ventional counters of trad a i very likely tends to a4 dwarfing of the faculty.—Don't let's start any debate, here, about whether this dwarfing is wholly unfortunate or not!—We must ccept the fact, I think, as one lylug close at the bottom of any theory we may build up. Whatever We argué about the ethical side of it, we must admit that the figures seem to Show that only one earner out of ninety in the whole country seems able to make an income of over $600.
