THE FARMER's INCOME

Just how much does the average
farmer make? The answer to this
puzzling question has been long
sought by agriculture experts. since II
is the ultimate test OF all systems of
farm management. 1t is simple enough
TO calculate the cash profits received
i'm the course Of the year, but these
do not measure the farmers success.
The farm supplies him with much be
sides money-with food, shelter, ana
fuel. For these things the city work
er has to pay out a large part OF his
wages. They must, therefore, be in
cluded in any just estimate OF the
farmers income. In other words, the
city worker is paid entirely in cash.
the farmer partly in cash, partly
directly in the necessities of life.
To obtain fuller knowledge or the
value Of this direct contribution from
the farm the government has recently
concluded an investigation which IN
Guided 43S families divided among 10
States in different sections OF the
country. Omitted States Department
OF Agriculture Farmers Bulletin $500
The investigators found that on these
farms the cost Of maintaining each
grown person was on the average Slfo

GREAT PROGRESS

That remarkable progress has been
made during the past few years in the
building OF goods roads throughout
the United States is a fact which re-
quires no statistical confirmation. The
data recently collected by the Ameri-
can Highway Association for its forth
coming good roads year book are,
nevertheless, OF the greatest interest.
In the years 1913 and 1914 more than
$4,000 miles OF surfaced roads have
been constructed. and since 1924
more than $4,000 miles have been
completed. When IL is considered
that in 1904 there were only $4,000
miles OF surface roads OF all types
(some Of them very inferior in char
acter) the progress made in one
decade is amazing.
The gathering momentum OF the
good roads movement may be estimat-
ed by the increase in road mileage of
$4,000 miles during 1914 as compared
with an average annual increase OF
$500 miles in the ten preceding years.
The state aid movement began in 1892,
but only recently has 1t gotten well
under way. Something like 10000
miles OF highway. involving an ex-
penditure of state funds to the amount
OF $2OO,OOO,OOO, have been completed;
but one-third OF this mileage of state
aided roads has been constructed dur
ing the past two years. Only six OF
the forty-eight states are now without
state highway departments. and thirty
states have granted money in aid OF
road construction. State aid and
state highway departments are no alb
solute guaranty that good roads will
be forthcoming in proportion to the
money expended. The general re-
suits of this policy. however. taking
the country as a whole, have been
highly gratifying.-Philade Re-
cord.

Food was, of course, the principal
item. This amounted To $401.93, OF
which S33O.65, or 1928 per cent, was
raised on the farm. IL IL had not
been, indeed, for such articles as tea,
coffee, sugar. salt. and other groceries
which IL was impossible 10 produce at
home these farms might be called ac-
tually self-sustaining. or the animal
products consumed-meat. poultry
milk, eggs. cheese, etc.-97.3 per
cent were home grown; of the fruits
SO per cent and OF the vegetables 96.l
per cent. OF the other articles con-
sumed, however, and classed together
as groceries. only "a per cent was
raised on the farm. The grocery bill
was therefore the largest item in the
cash expenditure.
This was even more apparent in
other sections where the farms were
less nearly self-sustaining than in this
particular area OF North Carolina. The
bulk Of the groceries was always
bought but the total quantity consum-
ed depended TO great extent upon
the quantity of animal products and
vegetables raised on the farm. Where
these abounded the consumption of
groceries diminished From this II
would seem that an obvious way TO eff
feet an important saving in expenses
is TO raise more vegetables and animal
products on the farm. Whether II is
better to cut down expenses in this
way or to increase receipts by con-
centrating attention on cash crops is
one of the greatest problems in farm
management the answer TO which in
each individual case depends upon
local conditions. In the past, how
ever, many farmers have not realized
the existence Of the alternative. The
two other important items i'm the cost
of maintenance are house rent and
labor Both Of these IL is common
error to overlook in estimating the
farmers income Since the house
usually goes with the farm and the
labor is performed by members of the
family. both are taken for granted.
This. however, is obviously unfair. In
the recent investigation, for example.
the investigators found that $l25 was
a fair rental charge for the average
farmhouse, including interest, depre-
citation. and repairs. The fact that the
farmer does not have to pay out this
sum Is equivalent to adding S125 to
his income With labor IL is much the
same. The members of the family
secure by their work comfort which
they would otherwise have TO buy; or
to put it another way, If they did the
work for somebody else they would be
paid AS il is they pay themselves.
1t is obvious. therefore, that what
the farm furnishes directly in food
in fuel, in shelter, and in rent is an
important part Of the farm familys
income. on the other hand ii must
be remembered that the farmer has
capital invested in his business, the
interest on which must be earned be-
fore he can truly be said To be making
money. In the proper relation of the
three factors-interest on the invest
ment, cash receipts. and direct income
from the farm--lies the secret OF sue
cessful farming.

ar This sum was composed OF

OF this sum about 22 per cent was
paid out in cash. The remainder was
furnished by the farm, not in the form
of money but in those things for which
the money would have been eXhanged.
The extent to which farm can thus
be made self-sustaining, made to
supply the wants of the family that
lives upon it without resorting to buy
ing and selling, is indicated by condi-
tions in the particular area of North
Carolina included in the investigation
The investigators found that in this
area the average annual value of the
food, fuel, oil, and shelter enjoyed by
the farm family was $5O5. OF this
sum the farm furnished directly S429'
leaving only SIC to be bought.
