OF. PRODUCTION STUDIES 'The main object of cost of produc- tion, studies is to learn how to reduce the cost of production. Another ob- ject is to learn what crops give the most profitable returns: Owing to 'the fact that the labour requirements "Jor certain crops occur at different periods of the year, it is not always possible to make a direct comparison between these crops but it is possible {to compare other crops which com- pete for labour at the same time, such as wheat, oats and barley, on the one the other. It may also be possible to calculate the maximum acreage of the various crops which could be produced. Data on cost'of production; accurately kept for several years and then pro- '| perly - interpreted, make possible a | more intelligent selection of crops and "| throw some light on a better pro- portion of each crop to grow, 'When figures are kept on the cost of doing various jobs with different | equipment, it is possible to decide what equipment does the work most economically. With the recenf In- trotiietion of much larger machinery Yor' preparing the land, seeding, and harvesting crops and with the marked Jdmprovements which have been made in the tractor during the last ten years, it is "extremely desirable to 'have some figures available in regard to the cost of doing certain lines of work with different outfits, The accuracy of cost of production studies 4s often questioned. It ig claimed that there are many joint costs which must be prorated among different crops and that it is impos- sible to apportion such costs accurate- ly. For example, when manure or 'commercial fertilizers are applied to a crop they benefit not only the crop to which they are applied but also the 'others in the rotation; ary rule which may be given fo. distribute the cost ly be 'crops, straw, as gt as" En is pro- duced but some arbitrary method of 1! dividing the entire cost of the whole | exon between the straw and the grain, 'hand, or corn, sunflowers or roots on Lion a period of years, predict what the yield will be for the value farm products which are il sold on the market, such. as silage and root crops, difficulties arise in de- termining accurately how this is to be done. Even after figures have been obtained on the cost of producing the various farm. crops and the, profit derived from "each, it would not be advisable to grow only the most pro- fitable crop.' T¥ may often be neces- sary to secure employment for men and teams in the production of some less profitable crop rather than have them stand idle. All of these objections have more or less force. Undoubtedly, it is dif- ficult to determine the exact cost of producing certain farm crops and the profit derived from gach. However, it is possible to determine the relative profitableness of various. competing crops and. with this knowledge the acreage of the More porfitable crops may be gradually increased. In regions where one erop constitutes the chief source of revenue from the farm the problem is very much simplified but in most parts of Eastern Canada where there is not only a great di- versity of crops but. also where live stock enterprises usually constitutes the 'Chief source of revenue, the ques- becomes more complicated. Nevertheless, a thorough study of all the costs and returns is the only in- telligent means offering much hope of improving the business and financial aspect of the farming enterprise. Farming remains about the only im- portant business which is conducted 'without systematic records. When. records are kept, it is possible to learn very accurately what average yields may be expected from each crop over While no one can following year, anyone who has kept records for a number of yéars can esti- mate fairly accurately what average yield will be obtained over the next five-year period. While costs of pro- duction vary widely from year to year, an average can be determined riod of years which will be comparing different crops. Information will be available, there- fore, to enable a more intelligent se- lection of the most profitable crops.

William Milton Jones was born near Orono, Ontario, on December 2, 1840. His father,Rev. George Jones, was the son of a U. E. L. British officer, who settled near Perth, Ont. after serving during the American Revolu- tion and the War of 1812-14. His the <American Revolution. in the public schools of Canada West, in Albert College, Belleville and in the Eastman Commercial College, Poughkeepsie, N.Y. Like many other young ;men. of that period, he taught school for a time, two or three years Missouri. But business proved more attractive than teaching, and in the early: 60's William Jones was managing a flour mill in Madoe, Ont., where his brother Charles was a partner in a general In 1869 bath brothers moved to Port Perry, where twa years later they purchased a general store from Thomas Paxton and George W, Jones, and established a thriving busi- ness under the firm name of Jones Bros. For the next twenty-seven years, except for a short period spent in iron mining in Haliburton and a few years devoted to farming in Dar- lington Township, William Jones kept store in Port Perry; at first in part- nership with his brother Charles, later by himself. In 1898 the call of the West led Mr. Jones to take up farming near Miami, Man. After twenty-one years there, he retired from farming and settled in Roland, Man., where his two sons are in business. ' It is difficult for us to realize what' great changes came over the country | during the life time of Mr. Jones. his father was joint pastor of the Whitby circuit of the Methodist Esescopal Church of Canada. This | circuit. probably included all of the southern portions of Ontario and, Durham Counties. There were very few churches or parsonages, and the | preachers had to travel exceedingly long distances on horse-back in order WILLIAM M. JONES to" visit their scattered groups of members and adherents. At that time there was no Port Perry, although there was a settlement at Prince Al- bert. The plank road from Whitby to Manchester had net been construet- ed, and there was no railroad in Oh, ada West, But when William and Charles came to Port Perry in 1869, it was an ime portant industrial 'and commercial centre. There were large saw 'mills, planing mills, carriage shops, a foun- dry, harness shops, and shoemaking shops. On Lake Scugog, were-several steamboats, and the Lake was of great | importance to the very large lumber- ing operations carried on in the dis~ trict. 'As neither the city department store nor the small country store had yet "developed. Port' Bérry' in those days was able to draw trade from a very wide district, and had a cor- respondingly large number of stores. It was in this thriving town that the two brothers were able to build up a large business. William Jones was a man of marked mental and physical vigor, which en- abled him to work and travel and maintain his interest in the world to the advanced age of eighty-eight. He was always keenly interested in public affairs. He was greatly attached to ° his church, and even in his later years continued to teach a Sunday School class. But his outstanding character- istic was that kind of generous christ- ian spirit which contributes so much to the making of beautiful old men "and women. The late Mr. Jones was married twice, first to Eliza Jane Sylvester, of Enniskillen, Ont., who died in 1890, and later to Ellen Cook, of Cameran,. Ont. He is survived by his second: wife and three children, Charles B.;: and Henry M., of Roland, and Mrs.' F. C. Couch, of Swan Lake, Man. William Jones was the last survivor of a large family several of whom lived in Port Perry. Dr. Richard Jones-and Dr. George W. Jones prac- tised medicine here, William and Charles Jones ran a general store. Sabra Jones was a milliner here in her earlier days, and lived here many years after her marriage to Thomas Bedford. Metta Jones married James W. Isaacs, who for many years con- ducted a tailoring business in Port Perry.
