Spencer Jan. 13.-The farm business
management survey which was taken
in Clay county during the year 1916. in
which data was secured for the busi-
ness of the farms in the year 1915. re-
vealed some very interesting facts. The
survey was made by Prof. S. II.
Thompson, state farm management
demonstration; p. X. Whelpton, Of the
United States department of agricul-
ture, and w. A. Posey. county agent of
Clay county.
The object of the survey was to find
out whether or not the farms Of Clay
county were paying interest on tho
money invested and fair labor income
Ito the farmer. and if 80, how much.
Twenty sections containing fifty
nine farms, in the center Of the county,
were selected as a sample of the farms
of the county and accurate data was
secured on these farms. The total re-
ceipts, expenditures interest on the in
yestment at per cent depreciation on
machinery, ETC., were taken into ac-
count. So
Average Labor Income 1918.
'In spite of the fact that 1915 was
one OF the poorest years in the history
of Clay county. one farm was found to
nay the farmer a labor income Of $1,OSo
IL the years work. The average of
the ten best farms paid a labor income
Of S735, while the average of the fifty
nine farms paid a labor income Of 1913.
1t must be considered, however, thay
each farmer had his house rent free of
charge, also, all the product that was
consumed at home in the way of dairy
products, chickens poultry, eggs, meat,
etc.
The average crop acres on the fifty
nine farms was found to be 1913 acres.
while the average Of the ten best farms
was 154S acres. Twenty-one two
tenths was the number Of mature cat
tie on the average of the farms and
a7.2 the number on the ten best farms.
The mature hogs numbered SIS on the
fifty-nine farms and 500 on the ten
best farms. Ninety-one acres on the
best farms produced the equivalent OF
100 acres on the average OF the farms.
The corn yield on the average was
thirty bushels to the acre, and on
the best ten farms 1t was "a bushels to
the acre. The average oat yield was
forty-seven bushels j, and fifty-two
bushels on the best farms. For each
800 worth Of feed put into stock 1t was
found on the, average OF the farms to
produce $119, and on the average Of the
TIN best farms, 316L 80
Other facts cleaned from the figures
taken indicated that, ~ the large
farms pay best; (2)ag well balanced
farms pay better than the farms on
which the stock, and grain were not
we'll pyoportioned; (s) stock farms
paid better than the grain farms:
a. good stock paid better than scrubs;
S(5) large farms used horse and ma
chinery labor to a greater advantage"

Such was Buck Duane's debut in
the little outlaw hamlet Of Ord.
Duane had been three months out
Of the Nueces country. At Ell Paso
he bought the finest horse he could
find, and, armed and otherwise out
fitted to suit him, he had taken to
unknown trails. He passed on leisure
ly. because he wanted to learn
the way OF the country. the work,
habit, gossip, pleasures, and fears
of the people with whom he
came in contact. When he heard
Fletcher's name and faced Knell he
knew he had reached the place he
sought.
Duane made himself agreeable. vt
not too much so. to Fletcher and
several other men disposed to talk
and drink, and eat; and then, after
having care for his horse. he rode
out Of town q couple Of miles to a
grove he had marked. and there, well
hidden he prepared to spend the
night. This proceeding served
double purpose-he was safer, and
the habit would look we'll In the eyes
of outlaws, who would be more in
