REORGANIZATION OF
THE FARM BUSINESS
In Majority Of Cases 1t Means
Merely ReadjuStment of the
Present System.

Is your farm returning less than
hired mans wages? That is to say,
after crediting the capital invested
with five per cent interest what is
your labor income-what have you got
at the end of the year to show for
your work? There are farms that do
not pay more than hired mans wages
to their owners. A reorganization of
the farm business is all that is neces-
sary on many of these farms to make
them profitable. This reorganization
| does not mean the Introduction Of
wholly new systems of farming. 1t
would entail, in the majority of cases,
merely readjustments in the present
systems of management.
Perhaps you can't make these
changes right nOw-the crop season
takes all your time-but here is some
thing to thinl; about for the future !:

STORY OF FEEDING
THREE YOUNG PIGS
Greatest Gains Made at Texas
Station With Young Animal
Fed on Skim Milk.

At the Texas station three 62-dly-
old pigs were fed six months rs fol-
lows: Pig 1, in q dry lot on milo chop
soaked in water; pig ,, in a dry lot on
milo chop and skim milk, the chop be-
ing soaked in the milk between feeds !;
pig 5, on pasture and milo chop soaked
in skim milk between feeds. These
pigs made total gains for the period
of 94.5. $50 and 305.5 pounds. AL
though pig 1 was the largest at the
beginning, during the first month he
gained only S.5 pounds, while pig ?
made more than four times as much
gain, and pig 8, more than five times
IS much in the same length of time.
Pig / made a consistently slow gain,
but the other pigs made consistently
rapid gains. It is thought that pig l
was not able to supply his body with
enough growing material for proper
development from milo chop alone. 1t
is estimated that pig made a profit
of $11.G2; pig ., $3.50, and pig 1, a
loss of % cents.

80 cents. The yield per acre was
decade the price has ranged around So
cents a bushel, and the yield has in
creased to about 20 bushels per acre.
The explanation of this probably lies
in the fact that under the higher pre-
vailing price it became profitable to
use more fertilizer and legu!neS and
give better tiIlage to the crop than IN
der the low scale of prices.
Survey studies have never disclosed,
however, a group of farms on which
the WELD per COW had reached a point
above which profit decreased. There
does seem to be a point in yield per
cow above which increased yield is
not accompanied by much further
economy Of feed. Recent studies of
feed cost as related to milk yield,
made on four farms located respective
ly in Michigan, Wisconsin, Pennsyl-
vania, and North Carolina, running for
five years and involving careful, COM
plete yearly records of 443 cow-yearS,
indicate that this point is reached at
yield of between 5000 and 1000
pounds of milk.
The cost of feed per 100 pounds of
milk decreases rapidly up to about
G,000 pounds yield after which the de-
| cline in cost is very slight. The les
son from this study is that ii is OF
much greater Importance to increase
the milk yield up to between 5000 and
1000 pounds than it is to attempt to
get the yield above this figure, as far
as the economy of the use Of feed is
concerned. It is easier to increase the
quantity of milk when it is low than
when it is high. 1t is also easier to
better a low crop yield than it is to
increase already high ones. Further
more, in both cases improving q low
yield is the most profitable thing to
do. In dairying, q high standard of
production per COW is usually. the key
! note of success. According to the re-
cent Pennsylvania study of 2S9 dairy
farms, 4S Of these farms showed
yield per cow of less than $50. The
labor income of these farms was 40
per cent below the general average.
Twenty farmers of the group had
| incomes per COW of more than $12O,
and their labor income WAS 70 per
! cent above the average.

Excerpt From Some Outstanding Fac
tors in Profitable Farming" by ]. S.
Gates, sarbook, United States Depart
ment Of Agriculture, 19l5)
The factor of profitable farming
which has probably heretofore re-
ceived more attention than any other
has been what might be termed eff
cheney. that is, the crop yield and
production per animal. AS a rule, crop
yields for a community are consider
ably below what would be the most
profitable, and production per animal
is decidedly below what has been
the case of crop yields, however, in
vestigations have shown that the big
gest yield is not, by any means, al
ways the most profitable yield. AS a
rule, the most profitable yield Of crops
for a community ranges from II to 30
per cent above the average yields pro-
duced by the good farmers of that
community. If the yield rises much
above this figure, the profits of the
farmers business are usually found
~ ucCIGdSS. II 10 ppSSAblC " SulAOA
in getting too big crop yields. Quite
few American farmers have reached
this point. The optimum yield for
greatest profit, of course, varies wide
ly with different soils and economic
conditions.
Studies of one large group of Penn
sylvania farms showed, when the yield
of crops reached a point about 80 per
cent above the average for the region,
that there was a sharp decrease in
profits. The price of products as re-
lated to the relative costs of yields Of
different magnitudes seems to be the
governing factor in determining the
most profitable yield. Survey studies
indicate that very few farmers are
producing as large crop yields as eX-
listing economic conditions warrant.
Farm practice, in the aggregate, al
ways responds to changed prices of
commodities, but this response by the
individual farmer, in the majority Of
cases, is made far more slowly than
the greatest profit would Indicate.
To Illustrate how the yield is deter
mined by prevailing price of product,
the case of corn in North Carolina
may be cited. In the decade previous
to the last, the average price per
brshel of corn in that state was about

German travellers are relating the

rounds of the German empire. En-
perOr William recently expressed the
desire to inspect a regiment which had
particularly distinguished itself at
Verdun, and ordered it to be drawn up
outside his headquarters in the neigh
borhOOd of the French fortress on the
following morning. The same day the
regiment participated in another furi-
Gus encounter, which wrought terrible
havoc in its ranks. and when next
morning the kaiser stepped forward TO
inspect the regiment he only found a
small band of 80 haggard soldiers Sa-
luting him.
But where is the regilnent?" de
manded the emperor, in surprise. with
out for the moment realizing the posi-
tiOn.
"This is the regiment, sire the com
manding officer replied.
At this the emperor broke down and
wept like a child, and the inspection
of rhc regiment was postponed.
