the cost of production can be ascertained 

 for any given crop year by substitut- 

 ing current rates for labor, seed, water, 

 etc., for those given in the bulletin. The 

 cost data, therefore, are valuable for 

 purposes of comparison. 

 / In general, the bulletin says, as acre- 

 age increases, acre cost decreases, while 

 as yield increases acre cost increases, 

 although cost per ton decreases. 



Labor was the principal cost item, 

 amounting to fifty per cent of the total 

 cost of production, while the use of the 

 land amounted to thirty-five per cent. 

 The more important factors which enter 

 into the cost of production are labor, 

 interest on land or rental, seed, water, 

 taxes and insurance. While these fac- 

 tors expressed in terms of money values 

 are variable, such items as hours of man 

 labor, hours of horse labor, pounds of 

 seed, hours of use of equipment, and 

 amount of fertilizers required do not 

 fluctuate appreciably.

COULD NOT GET DAMAGES. 



Knew Seed Was Inferior. 



A buyer of seed who sows it knowing 

 that it is inferior to the quality he has 

 bargained for will not be permitted by 

 the courts to recover damages based on 

 the excess of the value of the crop which 

 would probably have been grown had 

 the seed been of the proper kind, above 

 the value of the crop actually grown. 



This reasonable rule of law is recog- 

 nized by the Minnesota Supreme court 

 in the recent case of Wavra vs. Karr, 

 172 Northwestern Reporter, 118. 



There are numerous court decisions 

 upholding a seed buyer's right to re- 

 cover damages measured according to 

 the above stated standard, where he has 

 innocently relied upon a misrepresen- 

 tation by the seller concerning the va- 

 riety or germinating quality of seed 

 delivered. And where seed is found on 

 delivery to be of inferior character 

 there can be no doubt that, as a general 

 rule, the buyer has a vaUd claim for 

 damages based on a difference in values 

 of the goods bargained for and those de-
