Economy in Production.

w. H. White in Country Gentle
man: The profit in producing any
farm crop, consists in growing the
greatest possible amount from the
smallest area, at the lowest possible
cost. An acre of ground will nat
urally produce, with fair culture,
a given quantity Of corn or other
produce. 1t that amount pays for
production any excess over that is
profit above extra cost in culture,
and this excess is always the profit.
Herein lies the incentive for pro-
ducing large crops. The how to
do it is the study of the intelligent,
progressive farmer. A poor man
cannot afford to farm slovenly; yet
how often it is the case! If he has
only manure enough for one acre,
he cannot afford to spread his
labor over a larger area than he
can economically and thoroughly
use it upon. He cannot afford to
do work with his hands which can
well be done with the horse, or hire
work done while he himself is less
profitably employed. Economy
must be practiced in all things, es-
pecially in small things, for all
large ones are made up of the small
Ter; and there are few small farmers
(or any farmers) who will not find
that their profit lies in saving in
small things. 1t is these which tell
in these times.
