On the other hand, the number of
acres is not always a true measure,
as big business can be conducted
on small area; 20 acres of truck
and small fruits may equal 200
acre farm devoted to grain, hay,
cattle and hogs. 1t is the type of
farming that determines the number
of acres necessary for efficient oper-
alton. Many persons have made the
mistake of buying too high-priced
land for successful general farming.
In other words, they paid truck
farming prices for land which, on ac-
count of market relations, should be
used for only grain and general
farming.
The proportion of the total invest
ment that should be used as working
capital is equally as important as size
of investment. Generally speaking,
about rs to 88 per cent of the farm
er's investment is in real estate, the
other IL to 25 per cent being in live
stock and other equipment. This
proportion will vary according to the
type of farming followed. In re-
gions where dairying is the main en-
terprise the amount of working cap
ital may represent one-fourth of the
entire investment.
A third point in the consideration
of the farmers investment is the
quality of material in which working
capital is invested. This is especial
ly true in regard to livestock. In
vestigations relating to profits in
farming show conclusively that the
efficiency of the animals to which
the crops are fed is one of the most
important factors in determining the
farmers net income. This is to be
expected, since on many farms in
this country the bulk of the crops is
in reality sold to the dairy herd OF
to meat-producing animals. If thest
are of such poor quality that they
yield low returns for their feed, tn,
income to the farmer must be cor
respondingly small. Hence. no mat
ter how large the total investment
If the quality of the equipment il
deficient, failure is inevitable.

AVERAGE PROFITS ON
FARM ARE SMALL
Department Of Agriculture Reports After Inves-
tigation Of Conditions Large Farms Do Not
Always Pay in Proportion to Investment.

A careful study by government
experts in regard to the profits made
by a large number of farmers in diff
ferent parts of the United States
shows that the size of the farm busi-
ness is one of the most important
factors controlling the farmers in
come. The problem of how large an
investment is needed in order to car
ry on certain type of farming to
advantage is of the utmost import
ance. The amount of this invest
ment will vary according to the type
of farming and to the region se-
lected.
In survey of over so farms in
an irrigated district in Utah only
three farm owners, with less than
$4,000 total capital, received la
Dor income Of more than 81 900 for
their years work.
By labor income in this case is
meant what remains of the net in
come after deducting per cent for
invested capital and working capital;
in other words, what the farmer
himself receives for his years work
and supervision.
In group of 35 Of these men, who
had small farms and an average cap
ital of $5,345, the average labor in
come was $235. One out of every
five received nothing for his labor
and made less than 5 per cent inter
est on his farm investment. With
high-priced land this amount of cap
ital gave him too small an area to
utilize to advantage. If land were
cheaper, SO that a much larger area
could be obtained with this same
amount of money, then $4,000
might be a sufficient investment tc
give the farmer substantial income
In the central states, where corn
wheat, and oats are the prevailing
crops and where land is from $15(
to $3.50 an acre, $4,000 would b
entirely too small an investment t.
yield the owner good income, fol
the reason that 40 or so acres-th'
total amount of land he could posi-
bly buy with this amount of money
would not utilize his teams, machin
cry, or labor to the fullest advantage
