LARGE FARMS FOR Big MEN
Small Pieces of Land Are Below
Average Mentality and Capacity
of American Farmer.

Big men require big farms to make
money. They must have room in
which to exercise their activities OF
mind. 4
This is not saying that every man
who happens to own a large farm is
successful or that every man who
happens to own small farm is un,
successful because of his personal
shortcomings as a farmer.
There are many bighearted farm
ers on the small farms of the east
who have spent most of their lifetime
in eahng out a very moderate living
without being able to properly edu-
cate their children or provide against
the future day when they can no long
er work
These men have failed because they
did not have land enough upon which
to extend their mental and physical
energy.
Many men in the west have ratified
around half their lifetime on large
areas without making money because
they were too small for the land they
own-they are misfits.
There is great deal of talk about
cutting up the large farms of the
west into small areas, and it is true
that the tendency is toward small
Farms, but no man can succeed at
grain or stock farming on limited
area, and the wheat and beef. mutton
pork, etc, of this country will always
be raised on large farms.
In New England or in any OF the
eastern states where the average OF
tillable land is from 80 to so acres.
machinery cannot be used at a profit.
TO equip a farm of rs to 100 acres,
from $4,000 to $4,000 would be re.
CURED, and not enough profit can be
made by general farming to maintain
this equipment and make q profit, be-
cause 1t cannot be used to advantage
Farm tools must be used to their
fullest capacity during the entire
cropping season to make them profit
able. 1t does not pay the farmer to
buy mower to cut five or ten acres
of grass, nor harvester to cut the
same amount of wheat
He must therefore hire machinery
when and how he can, and is thus
always placed at Il disadvantage in
the matter of time and cost
The small farm is below the aver
age mentality and business capacity
of the average farmer of America.
Thousands of men are struggling to
earn a livelihood on so acres who
would become wealthy on 500.

shaft runs through it, and at the top
of this shaft is a rotary cutter. The
gear which drives his cutter is oper-

knife revolves much faster than the
