EDUCATION DOUBLES THE
 PROFITS OF THE FARMER.
Federal Investigators Seek to Find
 Best Management Methods.

To determine where farmers are making money. how much they are making and by what methods, a broad study has been begun by the farm management experts of the department of agriculture. who have taken select ed areas in the important agricultural sections and are making careful sur veys.
 The purpose of this study is to help the good producers to make money and to know how ana where they are mak- ing it. The profits of the individual farmer are studied to determine the factors that control his income.
 One interesting feature of the re- ports is the evidence that men with q high school education made almost double the profits of those without this training. and that farmers with a college education made an average in. come of 50 per cent more than those with high school records.
 The reports of surveys in Indiana, Illinois and Iowa show startling re- suits. On one-third of the 273 farms operated by owners it was found that the farmer was not even earning for himself the wages of a section hand after the moderate interest of 5 per cent had been allotted on the invest ment in real estate. farm equipment. stock and supplies. In. other words. one man out of every three whose forno Vuoro St,1jnd un,,1d ho hnffor off financially if he sold his farm. in- vested his money at per cent and went to work for some one else.
 More than IS per cent of the 273 farms were losing $20O to $500 a year for their owners. and 15 per cent lost from $200 down to $1 or managed to break even." Slightly more than 69 per cent made between $1 and $1.500. and only 8 per cent made profits of $500 or more. These records were made in one of the best farming re- gions of the United States, with the averaging farm capital of each farm averaging more than $30,O00. After de ducting per cent interest on the capi- tai the 273 owners made an average profit of $408 on his investment, or less than IA per cent
 The PAT tenant farmers whose opera. tions were included in the survey fared better on net profits than farm owners. This is held to be ample proof that the man with small capital should rent ] rather than buy farm.
