COMBINATION FARMING

The profits of farming are be-
ing investigated in an extensive
way by the Cornell (N. " ex-
to compare the actual returns
and outgoes based on figures OBJ
tanned by agents visiting the
farmers in the various counties
of the state The idea is to give
comparative figures rather than
to disclose facts to which the
individual farmers might object.
The conclusion seems to be, on
the whole, in favor of combina-
ton farming against special
farming.
1t appears that farmers make
more money by having a num-
Der of side issues in combina-
ton with whatever may be their
speciality. The experiment sta
ton suggests the Importance of
the farmer having a combination
that will furnish the most profit
able work throughout the day
and throughout the year and as
serts that no single product will
accomplish this result
The conclusion is not against
specialized farming nor in favor
of ordinary general farming, but
rather leaning toward what the
station calls combination farm
ing" which depends mostly on
the speciality, but advances the
income by Il wise selection of
side lines which enable various
economies of labor and equip
: ment and add decidedly to the
professionalism Cultivator.

Honey EARNING.

With the development of reclama-
ton projects in various states of the
west a new and attractive industry
has made its nothing
more nor less than honey farming
Now that extensive irrigated tracts
are being added to the arabic lands
honey growing on n large commercial
scale has become a profitable enter
prise. The average cost of bees is
about So, and in irrigated territory a
hive will produce about seventy-six
pounds more honey a year than its
members require. The honey sells at
the point of production at prices rang
ing from 10 to 20 cents n pound. As
bees multiply at the rate of 100 per
cent a year, it is estimated that bee
farm will return annual dividends of
$50 per cent after the first year. 1t
would be difficult to imagine an easier
or more profitable form of farming
