FACTORS IMPORTANT
IN FIXING PROFITS
Size, Diversity and Productive
ness Are Essential to Sue
cessfuI Farm Business.

The factors most important in de-
termining the profits in farming are
size, diversity, and productivity Of the
business, according to w. e. Grimes,
assistant professor of farm manage
ment in the Kansas State Agricultural
college.
"Of these factors, the one which
confronts farmers is diversity of bust
ness" said Mr.. Grimes. ''Too many
farmers derive the greater part of
their income from one enterprise,
which If it fails leaves them without
resources.
Seasons vary while the require
ments of different crops are constant
Seasons which are unfavorable for one
crop are often favorable for another
The farmer who is following DIVERSE
fled farming methods usually has a
good yield of some crop.
Another difficulty of Importance
to the farmer who grows only one
crop is that he has an abundance of
work during rush seasons and has lit
tie to do at other times. Under pres
ent conditions labor is scarce. Often
by growing a combination of crops he
can distribute his labor throughout the
summer season.
I'm the wheat growing sections
farmers should plant part of their
ground to crops for feed and keep suf-
ficient live stock to utilize them. Live
stock furnish work throughout the
winter and often enable the farmer
to hire a farm hand for the year.
"Feed crops usually do not conflict
seriously with wheat harvests and
distribute farm labor throughout the
summer season more uniformly. They
will yield profit when fed to live
stock. Roughage which is of little
value otherwise may also be fed. Keep
Ing live stock is the most economical
method of maintaining the fertility of
The soil and only practical meth
I'd for nearly all sections of the state.
Better diversity in business of the
average farmer will increase the
profits, establish farming on a safer
business basis and enable the farmer
20 safeguard against the danger of
complete failure in any year and aid
n overcoming the present scarcity OF
abor."

Many small reservoirs have been
built in the grazing districts of the
West to furnish water for range stock
and household purposes, the irrigation
of land from such. supplies being of
secondary Importance. These are dis
cussed in this article.
In the Great Plains area and more
particularly in the eastern portions of
Wyoming and Montana and the west
ern portions of the Dakotas, there is
little stream flow during the greater
part of the year and the well water
often is SO impregnated with mineral
salts as to be unfit for drinking pur-
poses. On the other hand, the native
grasses are abundant and nutritious
but the cattle and sheep which Craze
thereon are not permitted to feed be-
yond easy reach of the nearest water
hole. Thus without the use of reser-
voirs or other means of providing Wa
ter, the public range can be only par
TALLY utilized and too often the big
stock companies, in acquiring posses
sion OF the land bordering springs and
streams, become the sole benefciaries
of the use of such lands.
Water for Stock.
Other reservoirs of this class have
been built by transportation companies
in order to provide water for cattle
and sheep en- route from the range to
the nearest railway station.
The dams for reservoirs of this type
are Of earth built for the most part in
the beds of streams. Before the en-
bankment Is begun the surface of the
ground under the entire base of the
dam, as well as the borrow pit, is
stripped for depth Of at least six
inches SO as to get rid of all sod and
other light, porous material which
would prevent the earth in the dam
from settling in solid and compact

manner. After the ground has been
so stripped and before the grading is
begun, a trench u feet wide and not
less than IS inches in depth is dug the
entire length of the proposed dam. The
edge of this trench from the upstream
side is not less than 3 or more than 10
feet inside the toe of the inner slope.
This trench is dug for the purpose of
breaking the seam that otherwise

Standard Dimensions.
The dam then is built in the usual
way by placing the material in uniform
layers under the whole base of the
dam. Figure 1 shows the standard d.
mansions used in entertainments and
the position of the intercepting trench.
1t will be noted from this sketch that
the flow line of the wasteway is five
feet below the top of the embankment.
Wherever possible, natural waste
way was utilized in direct line with the
stream channel and the dam located
to one side so as not to be subjected
to the direct force of the stream.
To protect the embankment from
waves produced by the high winds of
the open range, the inner slope may
be covered with rock, brush and rock,
or other material. A common kind of
protection consists of sheet piling
formed of inch boards 10 inches wide
and 8 feet long. Each board is driven

Small earthen reservoirs or "set,
Ting basins" for the watering of stock
are common in Imperial Valley, Cali

form, 20 by 30 feet being common size
and about feet deep. To keep out the
stock they are fenced with the excep
