and $4,000 more than the least sue
cessful. This is not luck, nor is II
altogether, or even chiefly, question
of the skill of the individual farmer.
Further analysis will show that the
successful men are following certain
methods adapted to their conditions
and that the successful are not. Ii is
the business of the county agents and
farm management demonstrators to
ascertain what those methods are and
to point them out.
How this can be done is shown by a
study of farm which, for the sake of
convenience, can be called the Bald
win farm. The owners labor income
one year was minus $45--his income
was $45 less than the interest on his
farm and equipment. That year the
average labor income on 1913 farms in
the same community was $3.50 and for
the 25 more successful farms $3.50.
The amount of capital represented by
the Baldwin farm was little less
than that of the best farms. In
neither case, however, was the differ
ence sufficient to account at all for the
striking difference in income.
Improbable Cows.
There were, however, other differ
ences which did account for it. Bald
win had 81 acres in crops, as compar-
ed with an average of SO and for the
best farms of SO. He fed practically
all his crops to his III cows and 2
horses, but the receipts in butter and
milk from each of his cows averaged
only $50. On the average farm there
were 6 cows, giving average receipts
of $44, and on the best farms 8 cows,
with average receipts from each of
$62. The other farmers with their
larger crop acreage had surplus of
crops to sell. Baldwin, with as good
yields as the others per acre, had
practically nothing to sell, and the
stock to which he fed his crops was
too poor to give him profitable re-
turns.
The important thing for Baldwin,
said the demonstrators when they had
ascertained these facts, was to weed
out his herd, to keep record of the
production of each cow and to get rid
of those which were costing him
money. The next thing was if pos
sible to rent or buy little more land
so that the size of his business would
be more commensurate with its equip
ment. He and his horses were cap
able of farming as much land as his
neighbors, and by not doing it he was
wasting his feed.
Such demonstrations, of course, are
valuable only for the community in
which they are made. They can not

In every community there are a
certain number Of farmers who have
found out for themselves how to make
good profit from their farms. They
are now being used by county agents
as practical object lessons for their
less successful neighbors. Under what
is known as the farm-management
demonstration plan, the county agent
analyses the systems that these men
have adopted, compares them with
the practice on farms in this way the
factors that make for successful farm
ing in a given community. He is
then in a position to say. This is the
kind of farming that pays. If you
don't believe me, look around you. It's
not theory; it's fact"
The demonstrations of this kind
the Department of Agriculture, CO.
operating with the State colleges of
agriculture has made already, afford
some striking instances of the differ
ence in results between good and bad
farm management Recently "a
groups of farms in 10 States were
studied in order to ascertain what the
farmer obtained for his years work
after deducting the interest at per
cent on the value of his farm and 9TH
er capital--in other words, to find out
his labor income or wages. In each
of these groups, which included alto
gether 400 farms, the conditions
reasonably similar. In each group
the farmers were divided into five nu-
merically equal classes according to
their labor incomes.
The Successful Fifth
1t was found that although the
average labor income for all groups
was only 1887, the average for the
farmers in the first class--that fifth
Of the farmers who did best--was ST.
421. In the second class it was
$642. The last class-,the fifth Of the
farmers who were least successful
got nothing for wages and lost on the
average $517. That is to say, the in
terest on the amount of money repre-
scented by their farm, stock, and equip
ment would have been $517 more than
the farm returned them. 1t should
be borne in mind in this connection
that the labor income is merely the
farmers wages, and that the family
has In addition, besides interest on
investment, the use of the farmhouse
and such fuel and food as the farm
supplies free of money cost.
Other demonstrations have produc-
ed similar results. In almost any
northern community, one-fifth of the
farmers are making approximately
$l,OOO a year more than the average

When fruits, such as apples, peach
es or plums become smeared with
Bordeaux mixture it is often difficult
to remove the stains without also in
juring the fruits. But this need not
be the case. Bordeaux mixture being
composed of lime and copper sulphate
can be readily dissolved in acetic acid
not pure acid because this might in
jure the fruit, diluted solution will
do the business just as well, though
rot quite so quickly, but there would
be. no injury to the fruit. All that
is necessary is to dip the fruit into
the liquid, let it stay few seconds,
raising and lowering the receptacle
several times to get rid of bubbles.
then to place it in vat or spray of
clean water. This will wash away all
the Bordeaux stains because the lime
and the copper sulphate will have
been chemically changed to the much
more soluble acetates. Drying is all
that remains to be done before pack
ing.

that there are always profitable and
Improbable ways of running farm
in any community, and that If man
is losing money in return for hard
work it will pay him to learn from his
neighbors who are making it. 1t is
in helping him to do this that the
county agents are now finding one of
their most useful functions.

ERRATUM.

BY a typographical error in setting
up the speech of the Rev. DR.. Charles
NJ. Levister, who spoke at the Prohibi-
ton meeting on Sunday afternoon, the
following statement lent itself to mis-
construction:
"The liquor business of the
United States annually pays to the
government the sum of S32S, S,000,-
600, but by their own admissions
they receive $500. 100000 from
these people of the country least
able to afford to pay it"
In the report of the speech in last
nights Capital the $500 100000 ap-
peared as s2,5OO,0 900. and in such form
really carried no argumentatfvew weight
at all.
