9512 stouffville ontario canadian farmers and business men may well study the results of tho minnesota plan which raised farm income in minnesota the da- kotas and montana by 700000000 in eight years an average of 1679 per farm according to frederick e murphy sponsor of the plan and publisher of the minneapolis trib une now directing an educational elfort from new york to interest the business leaders of the country in agriculture our particular cure in the northwest was in getting away from dependence upon cash grain and into dairying live stock and general farming obviously this cannot be the solution in all reg ions but the gist of the minnes ota plan can be applied to canada as well as the several states where similar plans have recently been launched how it got under way we started in 1921 by studying the methods used on the 200 moat successful farms in each region then we urged the spread of those methods to the rest of the farms because the farmers were unable to get money we organized a 10000- 000 loan fund and the govern ment promised 100000000 extra credit from the war finance corporation if we needed it in 1921 northwestern banks were failing in waves the fund stopped the failures then it fin anced individual farmers in the purchase of cows live stock sheep and enabled them to shift over from oldstyle cash crops to farm ing which paid them income every month through the year we loaned the farmer money with the live stock and its increase as our sole security yet from the live stock the farmer earned the money to pay off the loan four teen thousand farmers have been helped by loans already and when the country banks saw the loans wore safe they began making them and thousands of additional farm ers were helped over the slump to businesslike farming mr murphy himself operator of a 6000acre dairy farm in the red river valley formerly devoted to wheat specializes in holstein- friesian cows and his herd hold world records for production one of our first steps in the northwest lie continues was to get the far mers to raise their own food thousands of our wheat farms were without cows pigs and chic kens and they didnt even have a garden yet the average grocery bill was s00 a year thats all changed now eight years results in eight years our four states gained 22so00 cows the rest of tho country put together gained only 2s3000 cows weve raised our dairy income 55 per cent since 1921 until its a three-hundred- milliondollar income producer our cowsowhen income boosted farm profits 71 per cent since 1921 an average gain of ninetylive mil lion dollars a year and in 1930 in spite of low farm prices our farm income held 34 per cent above 1921 today in spite of grasshoppers and drought in 63 per cent of our area the farm prosperity of the northwest has held the whole busi ness tone of the northwest high the federal reserve bank survey of retail business the first six months of 1931 shows the north west second highest in the nation and only 2 per cent behind the leading district centering at rich mond virginia out of 185475 far mers in minnesota last year only 1s5 went bankrupt according to the last year book of the depart ment of agriculture and industrial failures of firms worth 5000 or more were only 096 per cent in minnesota 039 per cent in south dakota 049 per cent in north dakota as against such figures as 224 per cent for illinois and 370 per cent for new york what is no longer the index of our prosperity in minnesota known as the bread basket of am erica our wheat acreage has been cut down for over four years so that wheat has only yielded onefourth of what the chicken crop brings in the beauty of the minnesota plan is that the farmers instead of being paid unskilled labors wages represented by wheat growing get skilled labors pay represented by proper breeding of live stock scien tific farming and proper market ing and instead of taking the beating which tho varying price of raw crops such as wheat or cotton involves they get tho relatively steadier and much higher prices for finished products butter eggs meats fruits vegetables and gen eral crops because our farmers own most of their creameries the farmer re ceives 91 cents out of every dollar paid for wholesale butter compare that with the wheat farmer who gets 2s cents out of the bread dollar just having cows isnt tho whole answer there are 21000000 ows in the united states and if tho farmers butchered 7000000 of them theyd save 350000 a year in feed bill alone those cows dont earn their keep government sta tistics show that a farmer milking ten scrub cows giving 100 pounds of butterfat a year earns only 135 if he milks one good cow giving 400 pounds of butterfat that cow earns him 13s farmer gets the break dairying and scientific farming enrich the soils by natural fertiliz ers and crop rotation so even where we still raise wheat and cash crops we increase our per acre pro duction and cut per bushel costs way down so the farmer gets the break all around in the northwest weve seen the results of this plan in the 300 per cent increase of our market for automobiles and in increased sales of all manufactured goods if the business leaders of north america but stop to realize it this undevel oped purchasing power of our mil lions of farms offer them much bigger and more important mark ets than any export trade outside national borders its about time the country found the only real road back to prosperity that road is on the farms of america the above article in saturdays globe might well be considered by the parent industry conference council meeting a threehour session marked the november meeting of the municipal council on monday evening reeve morden presided with every member present the determination of the council earlier in the season to cut short the discussions and to have matters formulated before coming to the board was somewhat ignor ed hence the discussion rambled along without any check as the members considered various items messrs harry peacock and lambrose stover requested a street lamp on the lane at the rear of the stores from schells butcher shop to strongs garage on the ground that it is more or less a public thorofare council through chairman watts said that a couple of lamps had been shifted in an effort to light the lane better the reeve said the lane was no darker than some places right on east main street messrs george saunders and del jennings made a request on be half of the local veterans for per mission to sell poppies on saturday nov 7 and also for a grant of 15
