GROWING FOOD-ON THE FARM; IN
THE YARD
Reasons Why the Small Farmer
Should Raise Purebred Stock
Basis the
Oppo unit in Home and Foreign Markets
I. Department

Time was--and not so long ago
when the small farmer could not
afford to breed purebred animals
The time has come-just now
perhaps--when the small farmer can
hardly afford not to breed purebred
animals, and at least he should use
purebred sires.
That is particularly true if his line
of live stock is COWS and, more par.
ticularly, if they are dairy cows, &C.
cording to men in the United States
Department of Agriculture who have
given their lives to the study of
dairy farming.
What has brought about the
change? Principally, community or.
ganization. The small farmer who
has to operate alone and unaided-
as practically all of them did 10
years ago--has a rocky road if he
aspires to purebred stock. Now, the
whole situation is changed, or is
rapidly changing. The small farmer
does not stand alone, and he has all
kinds of aids. There. to start with,
is the county agent, ready to bring
the accumulation of expert knowl.
edge to bear on the problems Of the
small farmer. There is the county
farm bureau, perhaps. There is the
cooperative bull association. There
are enough things, If they are used
to pull the community together and
make it possible for the smaller
scale breeder to enjoy many advan-
tages formerly obtained only by the
largest scale breeder.

ture, make the United States a
purebred country? People do not
think of 1t that way now. Try it out
with yourself. You think Of the

breeding ground for pure Jersey

FARM IS DEFINED
BY CENSUS BUREAU
OWNERS ADVISED HON TO- An
sWER QUESTIONS or THE
ENUMERATION
WASHINGTON.-What is a farm?

WASHINGTON--What is a farm?
Seems foolish question to ask,
doesn't 1t? Almost anyone can tell
hand just what farm is and
knows one when he sees it
But do YOU happen to know the
Interpretation Uncle Sam places on
the word farm" for census pur-
poses? No? Then read how his
burea uof the census defines the
word:
"A farm for census purposes is all
the land which is directly farmed by
one person conducting agricultural
operations, either by his own labor
or with the assistance of members of
his household or hired employees
In further explanation of this def
milton the census bureau points out
that the term agricultural opera
tions" is used as general term re-
producing other agricultural prod
ucts and raising domestic animals.
poultry or bees.
From this definition it viii be seen
that farm may consist of single
tract of land or of number of sepa-
rate and distinct tracts. And these
several tracts may be held under diff
ferent tenures as, for instance, when
one tract is owned by the farmer and
another is rented by him. Thus if a
man who owns 100 acres rents an
additional 10 acres from some one
else and operates both the 100 acres
and the 10 acres, then his farm"
includes both tracts of land, COM
prising 10 acres.
BY the same token when land
owner has one or more tenants, rent
ers. troopers or managers. each diff
ferent tract of land operated by any
such tenant, renter. cropper or man
ager Is considered separate and dis
tinct farm by the census bureau. Or,
