MAKE FARMING
MORE PROFITABLE.

On certain group Of farms it was found
that 229o of the farm labor was spent n
the upkeep or maintenance labor. from
this Sort. OF labor there can be no cash re-
turn, yet it is necessary that certain amount
of such laboi can be performed. The pro-
norton of main, enance labor is consider
ably less on well equipped livestock farms
where diversified farming is followed than
it is on farms that specialize on in cotton
or grain.
The reason for this is tibet where live
stock is cared for good part of the farm
to find profit bearing employment for the
labor which is necessary during the sum-
mer.
If one looks ahead to the summer work,
however, he Tan find numerous places IN
which he can prepare for such seasons and
save the time of men and teams when la
Dor is really valuable. With careful plan
ming one can estimate year in advance
anproximatel, the amount of labor pro-
vided..
Likewise, if we have not already done
SO, we should now be planning and getting
ready for harvest time.
