No man who is without experience
as f;rmer could possibly make a
success of farming as business from
the beginning but if man is stu
dent and is willing to undergo some
privation at the beginning there is a
chance for him to succeed If he has
the necessary capital.
Much will depend upon the amount
of risk the farmer is willing to take.
are normal, a full equipment just
about equals the full value of the
land One can usually get hold Of a
piece of land by paying about one
fourth of the purchase price in cash
and giving his notes for the balance
on the land for security. Hence.
speaking In general way the amount
of capital required as minimum for
a fully equipped farm would be about
one and a fourth times the cost price
of the land. This would involve going
in debt an amount equal to about
three-fourths the cost Of the land. In
these figures l am assuming that land
for trucking and fruit growing will
cost 500 an acre, land for dairying
$50. and for hay growing so per acre.
The differences in the price Of land
here assumed for the different types
of farming will be considered in the
article dealing with the best location
for the beginner.
In the irrigated regions of the west
generally speaking, more capital is re-
quired for beginning than elsewhere
on account OF the high cost of the
land, but where there is plenty OF
irrigation water available the yields
to be obtained can generally be male
to compensate for the higher land
values.
The farmer whose family is able to
do all the labor on the farm can begin
with less capital than the individual
who must hire a large part of his
labor. Again. something depends up
on the character of the land itself II
the soil is new and rich there will
be little or no expense for fertilization
at the beginning, and an important
item of expense is thus saved, but If
the land has been farmed for many
years and is in condition that re-
quires immediate fertilization in order
to secure profitable yields. consider
able investment must be made in fer
tilizers or manure before crops can
be obtained Some men have started in
to farming with practically no capital.

but this is a dangerous thing to do.
Others will require the full amount
! necessary to buy the land and to
properly equip and stock it and two
or three years living expenses in
addition
The largest item OF capital is. OF
course, the land itself. few years
ago land could be obtained by home
stead at very little expense. 1t must
now be purchased There are a few
localities in the United States. mostly
in the south. where farm land can
be purchased for $40 to $40 per acre.
Usually, however. this land is held in
| large tracts, which VIXEN cut up into
small tracts sells readily at $40 to
$50 per acre. Prices range all the
way from those above. mentioned to
$4,000 an acre for some of the best
fruit farms well set to bearing trees
in some of the irrigated regions of the
west. Generally speaking, the small
farm should he near a city, and for
that reason will usually consist of high
priced land.
In farming more than any other
business the amount of capital re-
CURED at the start depends upon the
degree to which the individual is cap
able of leading the strenuous life.
The city family who moves to the
country with small capital usually be-
comes very much discouraged before
success rewards their efforts, because
to succeed under such conditions re-
quires hard living
In the matter of the dwelling house
one may be content to camp for a
year or two in a shack costing not
over $3.50. A fairly good house for
small family on the farm can be
built at a cost Of from $500 to 81, 900, de-
pending on the size of the family and
the cost of materials. This assumes,
however, that the farmer himself does
the hauling and good part of the
carpenter work. Where the farmer
can do all the work himself The mater
ials for very good house need not
cost over $500.
1t is easily seen that with the price
of land varying as 4 does it is not
possible to state a definite sum as
the safe limit of capital with which
a family may begin upon the farm. but,
in the next article some details will
be given which ought to enable the
individual to determine the amount
of capital with which he can safely
begin the business.

PROPAGATION OF
CURRANT BUSHES
Frequent Shallow Cultivation
Should Be Given in Early
Part of Season.

Currants should be propagated by
division of the plant. Where only a
few bushes are wanted they may be
obtained by separating rooted canes
from the mother plant, but In nurs-
ery.culture plants are propagated by
cuttings in the fail. They are made
about 8 inches long and may be set
out in rows at once, or tied up in bun
dies and stored in pit over winter.
Make the pit in well-drained soil, with
the butt ends up. and covered about 8
inches deep with earth. Set out In
the spring as early as the ground can
be worked The rows should be g

ANNA HELD rs
GIVEN DIVORCE

UNITED Press Leased Wire Service
NEW YORK, Jan 9-The inter-
locutory decree of divorce from Flor
ence ziegfield, Jr, theatrical producer,
that was obtained several months ago
by Anna Held. the actress, this after
noon was made final and absolute by
the signature of Supreme Court Jus
tice Newburger.
At the same time counsel for Miss
Held fled with the court judgment
for $4,000 that Miss Held obtained on
e. promissory note given to her by
ziegfeld and unpaid. 1t was stated
that she loaned him the money many
years ago in Paris.
The coincidence of the divorce de-
cree and the note transaction did not
lend very much color to the reports
circulated up and down Broadway
lately, that ziegfield and Miss Held
were about to become reconciled and
remarked She is now in Paris.
