WASHINGTON. March 16.--What

try are losing
Farm Profits money. and why?
and Losses. This ID q vital
question for which
experts In the once of farm manage
ment OF the United states department
OF agriculture hope 10 have an answer
In a comparatively short time. II win
not be possible to cover every county
In every state. because such stupen-
dous task would take too much time
and require too large an expenditure
Of money. The plan will be TO select
representative areas In the more I'M
portant agricultural sections and to
make o careful farm management sur
vey which will develop information to
show wherein farmers methods are
good and wherein they are bad.
The governments farm management
experts have already completed sur
veys In the states Of Pennsylvania,
Michigan. Oregon. Indiana, Illinois and
Iowa. and arrangements have been
made to start work In Georgia. the
reports for the nrst three states named
are not completed. The reports for
Indiana. illinois and Iowa were the
first TO be finished. and the informa'
ton gathered offers interesting and
somewhat startling reading.
The. farm management surveys
which Uncle Sam Is making are SINH
lar in character to the investigations
made by a modern business doctor"
or system expert who Is called In To
and out what Is wrong and what Is
right with the conduct OF the affairs
of corporation. The government Is
proceeding on the theory that the
farmer needs information on better
methods and on the more scientific
sources and his farm labor. which may
lead to an increase Of his profits, just
as much as the manufacturer from
whom the farmer buys his plow or
harrow. or the miller to whom he
sends his wheat to be made into hour.
The purpose of the surveys Is to
help the food producers OF the nation
in the business OF farming. The pro-
Ats of the individual farmer are stud
led to determine the factors which
control his income. The simple econ
omies OF food production In this or
any other country is that to be pro-
gressive II must be profitable. The
farmer must not only make fair IN
come on his investment in farm prop
erty and equipment. but he should
calculate on receiving wages for his
work. just the same as the head OF a
going commercial establishment or
manufacturing. firm calculates the
value u is services to the enterprise.
The study OF farming as business
proposition brings out some rather
startling information, and the reports
on the surveys in Indiana. Illinois and
Iowa show that even in the most pros
porous farming sections the man who
tiils the scil needs q business doctor
to help him to make agriculture more
profitable. On one-third OF the 273
farms operated by owners and inves.
tigated in these three states it was
found that the farmer was not even
earning for himself the wages of a
section hand, after the moderate inter.
est OF ave per cent had been deducted
from his farm capital. that is, from

made between - and $500, and only

made In one of the best farming sec.
tons of the United States, with the
average farm capital OF each farm

perts who were In charge OF the sur.
vey. say that the evidence 10 unmis-
taxable that the man with small capt
tai should rent rather than buy Z
farm. The net profits OF landlords
renting farm property averaged $40
per cent on the capital invested.
An interesting feature Of the report
on the Indiana, Illinois and Iowa sur.
veys Is that men with . high school
education made almost double the pro-
fits of those without this training, and
that the farmers with q college educa-
ton made an average income OF 50 per
cent more than those with high school
records. The investigation developed
the information that the men with the
best training made the largest In
comes. although they had . material
advantage because In most cases they
were the owner Of larger farms with
greater capital.
II was learned during the course OF
the surveys that many farmers are
losing money because there 10 . poor

cases serves to eQualize labor. In
some instances the farms were toe
small TO be operated probably: some
were too large. In some cases, losses
were sustained because the man had
selected some type of farming which
was unsuited or was Improbable IN
the region over which the surveys was
made.
W. J. spiliman. CHER Of the once Of
farm management Of the department
az agriculture, points out that while
the average profits Of only $408 for
farm owners and $870 for tenants may
appear small to city people, Il must
bt remembered that the operators had
a house and the products which the
farm furnished toward their living.
With the continual improvement Of
farm methods and management, far
mers' incomes may be expected 70 rise
gradually and make agriculture moBe
and more attractive.

The spirit of the act to regulate com
merce is to maintain free ports and to
allow boat liners to engage in traffic on
equal terms. To permit the rail carriers
