ORANGE COUNTY
FARMERS ASSN NOTES


This week, as last, has been spent
! largely i'll returning farm survey records.
! In the three days spent in the field nine
records were returned and three taken.
Deep mud on the back roads and the
rush of sugaring has prevented more
time being proftably spent in this way
at present.
! The county agent is trying to interest
! the school children in testing seed corn
! for their parents. The method used is a
simple one, called the rag doll method.
This is piece of cloth with squares
marked for different ears of corn in
which arep laced five kernels from the
ear. This is thoroughly soaked and
rolled up. A short rag is placed in the
middle, which acts as a wick to tumb-
Ter of water over which the roll is placed.
BY setting this ina warm place, the
test will be ready to read in from five
to seven days. Not all the schools will
be visited this year but cooperating
with the different school superintendent,
hope to visit several. Two schools were
visited last week with Mr.. Patterson in
Braintree. This week we plan to visit
some others in Braintree and Randolph.
Anyone who is interested in this method
of testing their seeds will be given full
directions by writing the county agent,
Can farmers afford not to test their seed
when it takes just as much labor to care
for a halfstand as a full stand and it
costs so little to find out whether their
seed is good or not?
In the farm survey of last year in
Randolph, there were several factors
which influenced the profits coming from
the farm. If all farmers could realize
the Importance of those factors and plan
their farms and farm management ac-
cordingly there would be a good many
less discontented men on our Vermont
farms. These factors are not ones which
can be changed in minute but a clear
realization of their Importance will en-
able the farmers who are making farm
ing a business work towards these goals |
One Of these factors is the size OF the
farm and the amount OF business which |
is being handled on the farm. On the 81 |
Randolph farms it was found that the |
farms with less than $4,000 capital in !
vested made labor income of S205. The |
farms with $4,000 to $4,000 capital made |
an average labor income of S545 Since |
all our farms are livestock I
farms this can perhaps better be eX
pressed in terms of number of productive |
animal units kept per farm. Twenty
three farms keeping less than ! ) produc-
tive animal units made an average labor
income Of SOL but three making more
than $500. The Is farms keeping from
10 to % productive animal units made
IN average labor income of S26l. six
