Washington. July 27.-Farming is not
the most profitable business in the
" orld railroad press agents To the
contrary Notwithstanding, according TO
bulletin of the Department OF Agri
culture.
For the first time in the history Of
farming in tho United States the de-
partment has managed to get accurate
data on the subject
1t reports that the average income
Of the American farmer is $4,000 "a
year. at is reasonable TO infer" says
the department, that at least half Of
the farm families in this country have
even smaller incomes
'Jndividual farmers here and there
have incomes larger than this average
ut the facts indicate that on the whole
the income of farmers in this country
even when we include as a part of the
income those things consumed on the
farm, where they are produced, is GER
tainly not more than sufficient to pay
5 per cent on the investment and ordi-
nary farm wages for the labor they do,
and il is probably considerably less
than this.
