(From Weekly Letter, United States De-
partment of Agriculture.l
Under the conditions which prevail
on the average American farm, the OPP
portunity for making a satisfactory
profit varies directly with the number
Of acres farmed, according to farm
management specialists in the depart
ment Of agriculture. This statement
is substantiated by figures gathered
in the course of survey which has
recently been made by the depart
ment of a portion OF Chester county,
PENNSYLVANIA. This survey, in the
opinion of the specialists. emphasizes
what has been called the small-farm
policy which is discussed at some
length in a bulletin soon to be issued,
Farm Management Practice OF Ches-
ter County, Pennsylvania.
In the territory surveyed, farms of
from 80 to 40 acres required for each
crop acre SIS worth of machinery on
an average, as compared with less
than 50 worth on farms of $50 acres
and over. The small.sized farms need
ed one horse for every nine acres.
as compared with one horse for more
than II acres on the larger holdings.
In spite of this increased investment
per acre, the small farms were not so
well equipped with labor-saving ma
chinery.
On the farms of from Is to 40 acres
the average labor ineome-that Is TO
say, the money which the farmer re
ceives for his years work after the
interest on his investment has been
