from Weekly Letter. United States De-
partment Of Agriculture)
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 smallfarm
policy which is discussed at some
length in bulletin soon to be issued,
Farm Management Practice OF Ches-
ter County. Pennsylvania.
In the territory surveyed, farms of
from 30 to 40 acres required for each
crop acre SIS worth OF machinery on
an average. as compared with less
than So worth On farms OF lG0 acres
and over. The smallsized 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 l3 to 40 acres
the average labor income-that is TO
say. the money which the farmer re-

interest on his investment has been

deducted-was only $240, while on
farms Of over 160 acres the average
was $1,575. From these and other fig
ures which convey the same lesson,
the investigators concluded that the
small farm, carrying on a general
farming business, labors under a fixed
ha .dicap that is inherent in its size.
This relation OF the size Of the
farm to the opportunity for profit is
declared in the bulletin already men.
TONED to be of vital interest because
OF the notion which SO widely pre-
walls that the ideal OF American agri.
culture Is the small farm. Numerous
real estate promotion schemes are
based on this idea. II is a distinct
fallacy. Very small farms are diff
cult to make successful anywhere, and
1t is only the exceptional man who
is equal to the task. They must al
ways be devoted TO the most intensive
types of farming, and the products
Of most kinds of intensive farming
iiuctuate greatly in volume and price.
so that the business is very insecure.
The danger is greatly magniiied II
tho small farm is situated long dis.
tanee from market. for prices for their
products do not have to fall very far
until the transportation charges wipe
out all profits. Even in the vicinity
Of the markets these small farms
succeed only in localities where
they have distinct advantages for
the particular type of farming which
they follow"

That is because they neglect the liver
