El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1915-10-14

Tie farmers. who, on the average,
are making the most money out Of
farming, are those who handle COM
paratively large acreages Of land with
plenty Of equipment for the labor EN-
ployed- One very common source OF
loss on farms is unproductive labor.
Productive farm labor i'm this country
means labor with n continually in
creasing degree Of skill accompanied
with large equipment with which the
labOrer can work to advantage
The labor problem has been one or
the most battling problems of the
American farmer. The progressive
farmer has been gradually solving the
labor problem by the efficient use OF
more labor saving equipment and also

Land differs in its productivity. and
the cost of production per bushel Is
greater on one acre than on another
when prices are low it only pays TO
cultivate the better ceres, or those on
which the cost Of production can be
kept below the price at which the
product will sell. But when prices
rise IL then pays to cultivate inferior
acres. and il pays under no other con-
dftion whatsoever
Here we have, therefore one OF the
most important laws Of agricultural
economies AS prices fall, not only
must the farmer reduce his yield per
