THE FARM AND COUNTRY LIFE

Recently a man moved onto a forty
acre farm beside another farmer who
owned and tended 12O acres. The man
with the forty-acre farm made during
the past year something over 5000
more than his neighbor who farms 100
acres. Both of these men are wide
awake, good farmers, and are in the
farming business for all they can get
out of it. The man, however, with the
larger farm has more land than he
can tend well, and the man with the
smaller farm has just enough to cul-
tivate and improve in the best pos
sible way.
Two other farmers have adjoining
farms of. respectively, 100 and fifty
acres. They are brothers and both
are called good farmers. Yet the
brother with only fifty acres makes
more clear money than the one with
a farm more than three times as large.
Nor are these exceptions. I could
cite dozens of others on small farms
who are making a better living with
less labor than their neighbors who
try to cultivate from two to four
times as much land. The fact is that
our farms, as rule, are much larger
than we can cultivate and improve in
the best way. Forty or fifty acres is
as large a farm as one man can tend
when forty acres will be counted a
large farm for one man. Ten and
twenty-acre farms will be common
within a few years, and those farming
them will make more money and live
better than the average farmer who
now cultivates eighty to 100 acres.
The new farming idea is not to farm
more land, but to cultivate, fertilize
and improve a small tract of land
well IF a man. for instance can grow
100 bushels of corn instead of fifty
bushels to the acre. he has only one
half the land to prepare and cultivate,
only one-half the seed. half the fenc--
ing and half of the other expenses of
the upkeep of the farm. Also, the
doubling of the crop yield means more
than double the net profits. If the
profits on corn yielding fifty bushels
to the acre are $12, then the profits
on corn yielding 1O0 bushels to the
acre are $36, or three times as much.
Hence it is easy to see that a man

sEMI-PREcIoUs STONES

The production of semi-prec'ous
stones is winning a Place among the
new industries of Colorado. Only one
firm is engaged in the business but
the range OF products is varied and of
considerable MAGNITUDE. The produc-
tion for the years 1909 and 1919 was
as follows: Aquamarine, all grades
$4,000 carats; phenacite. all erades.
1000 carats; amazonite, first class. two

tons; epidote 100 pounds; topaz
(precious) three pounds; smoky to~a".
275 pounds: rock crystal 100 pounds.
There has been no difficulty in dis
posing of all Of the product.
Auuamarine and phenacite are mined
on Mount Antero and neigbbor'ng

MONEY IN SEED GROWING

According TO Joseph A. Arm Id OF
the United States department Of ag~i-
culture, there is profit in ra sing high
grade seed. Seed crops of sw ct corn
garden peas and beans of good quail
ity are in ever increasing demand, and
the quantity needed yearly has be-
come so large that the scotsman is
obliged to have the major portion Of
his stock grown for him bv others.
Within the past few years there has
been an enormous increase in the
quantity of seeds produced for COM
mercial purposes. This he's feen due
in large measure to the DEVELOPMENT
af seed growing and handling as
business. There are now nearly a
thousand seed firms doing b"si~ess in
the United States. One of tie largest
of these uses BUILDINGS with an agere-
gate floor space of more than sixteen
acres. This space is much larger tn" n
was occupied by the entire seed trade
of the country only fifty years ago
The quality also has vastly improved.
One of the most encoura g'ne devel-
opments in the growing Of garden veg
etables is the Increasing recognition of
the practical inheritance of using pure
and uniform stocks of seed whose va
rietal characteristics adapt them to
distinct local conditions and market
requirements. Another consideration
is the fact that the growing ot seed
crops of these vegetables con be un-
dertaken without any radical change
in farm equipment. These conditions
make this industry we'll worth the at
tention of farmers who are located
where soil and climatic conditions are
favorable for the best development o.
such seeds.
However, the raising of these vege-
tables for seed crops is not recon-
mended for all circumstances even
when soil and climate are suitable.
The farmer who contemplates under
taking seed crop farming will do well
to consider thoroughly the many ele-
ments which enter into profits. Seeds
men are often able to place contracts
for growing seed at very low prices,
even lower than that at which grain
of the species can be sold on the mar

FARMERS, OBJECT LESSON

If the man who makes two blades of
grass grow where only one grew be-
fore is a public benefactor as the
philosopher said, the Hon. Martin v.
Calvin, secretary of the Georgia State
Agricultural society, is entitled to still
higher praise. Since he began to farm
in 1878 he has been working to induce
southern farmers to center their
thoughts and energies on "a larger
yield per acre at smaller cost of pro-
duction."
In a recent booklet Mr.. Calvin said:
IA year ago Instituted a compari-
son between the corn production or
the nine cotton states and nine eastern
and western states The figures used
related to the gross production of corn
in those states. 1t was shown that the
nine cotton states produced millions of
bushels more corn than the great east
ern and western states mentioned. 1t
seemed to be absolutely incredible, but
there were the official figures.
1.-THE nine cotton states, in addition
to producing 9,646,7S0 bales of cotton,
weighing 500 pounds each, 100000
tons of prime hay and many other
crops of value, made and gathered into
spacious barns over 97,000.000 bushels
of corn more than the eastern and
western states
"That is a very gratifying fact, but
the general average yield per acre of
those states was 303 bushels, while
the general average yield of the nint
cotton states was only 1914 bushels.
mark that fact. 1t locates the weak
spot in our armor. 1t tells us that we
need not increase our corn acreage one
inch. What we need to do, what we
must and can do. is to increase our
average yield per acre"

in the right way. Heavy bedding of
the animals and frequent hauling of
the manure to the fields are as much
a part of good farming as the sowing
of seed and the harvesting of crops.
Every farm, large or small, should
carry as large an amount of live stock
as possible, unless manure can be pur-
chased cheaply from other sources.
Good money can be made in keeping,
breeding and growing good live stock
of almost any kind. A variety of live
stock is best in general cases. The
dairy farmer, of course, secures an
abundance of fertilizers from his dairy
stables. If he puts these fertilizers to
good use, larger home crops can be
grown, which means less to be spent
for feeds. and hence larger net profits
fom the cows. The by-products from
dairy herd or from live stock of any
kind can be made to equal from one
fourth to one-third of the total income
from the animals The farmer or
dairy man who does not grow enough
feeds for his animals can make good
money by purchasing feeds. The fer
tilizing value of wheat bran, for in
stance, after being eaten by cows is
equal to slightly more than one-half its
present market price. Buying feeds
and bringing fertility to the farm is
much better practice than selling crops
and fertility from the farm. The small
farm can be made immensely fertile If
a good number of animals are kept
and fed on the place and extra feed
purchased to keep them.
The small farm that is made pro-
ductive and profitable can be made a
better home than the larger farm be-
cause of the smaller cost of improving
it. Good improvements increase the
earning power of the farm much more
than most people think. With less land
the farmer has more time in which to
make needed improvements and to
save all of the crops at harvest. He
has more time for making the home
surroundings convenient and beautiful
and for securing the highest pleasure
from country life.
