MUCH MONEY GIVEN
IN hLLEG ED FRAUD

New York Dec. 3.--Fake magazines
and civilians wearing army uniforms
leeced thousands of dollars from per-
sons led TO believe the contributions
were for the benefit Of crippled Sol
diers and sailors, it was alleged in a
federal Indictment returned today
against William S. Brewer. The in
dlctment charged him with using the
mails to dcfraud.
Several New. York banks contrib

name OF his personal organization

His uniformed agents solicited
money in subway and elevated sta

ccivcd ID cents commission on every
% cent magazine sold, but the au-
thoriticS did not learn the size Of the

Since the scheme began working

average in size of business, yield of
crops, production of live stock, and
efficiency in the use of labor, and is
adequately and economically equipped,
1T is almsot certain to be profitable.
The weakest factor is the one that
needs attention in Improving the
business. If the quality of the live
stock is high, greater Improvement
in the farm business can usually be
obtained by dcvoting attention to de-
vcloping the size Of the business or
sale of cash crops, or increasing
Labor efficiency, rather than by further
improving the quality of live stock.
The Department Of Agriculture has
recently prepared bulletin, "a
Method of Analyzing the Farm Bust
ness" which contains valuable infor-
nation for farmers who wish to or
Ganlzc their operations on an econ
omlc basis. This bulletin and other
printed matter on the subject may be

under suitable conditions, equal 200
acres Of grain, hay, and general live
stock, both as to labor required and
income received.
Crop yield greatly influence farm
profits. Some farmers make fair pro-
fits with low yields because some other
phase Of the farm business is sul1i-
GENTLY developed to offset the poor
yields, but it lis doubtless true that
these same farmers could make more
money with higher yields. Profits
Increase at least until yields are OBJ
tanned considerably above the aver
age for the region, but beyond this
limit very high yields arc liable to
be obtained at the expense Of farm
profits.
Quality of Live Stock Important
On farms where live stock is an
important enterprise, the quality Of
the stock is very important. On a
majority of farms, except in the South
and certain Of the Western States.
more Of the crops are fed to live stock
than are sold direct. On many farms
the animals are the market for the
crops, hence the production Of these
is Il most important factor in farm
profits. The best Of corn and hay
crops will count for little when fed
to animals that make returns below
the market prices for these crops. On
the other hand, good live stock on the
individual Farms may not be profit
able if not fed cared for economical
ly.
The exceedingly diverse nature of
Farm operations makes wide oppor-
tunlty for mCilicicncy 70 enter into
their performance. In r,ctory with
modern machinery Il man is expected
to do certain amount Of work, ana
IN many instances the machine scts
thc pace Tor him. Generally the
worker on the farm must be his own
boss and must set his own pace He
must also work under most adverse
weather conditions at certain times.
Oitcn a great deal OC work must be
devoted to things which add little or
nothing to the profits of the business.
1t requires twice as much time for
some men as compared with others
to do q certain kind of work. Work
may also be so organized that a given
amount OF effort accomplshcs more
than the average. The efficient use
"i horse labor is also very important
ana bears close relation to size of
business. On the Onc-man farm the
horses must necessarily be uncmploy-
cd every time the farmer finds It
Incccssary to do work not requiring
horse labor. On the larger farms the
work can be SO arranged as to have
one man keep the horses busy while
others attend to the work where
horse labor is not needed.
Well Balanced Farm Profitable
a Wcll-balanccd farm business is
nearly always profitable. The farms
that are as good or better than the
average of their community in all
four Of the factors here mentioned
$Cidom fail to make a good profit.
Thus, if farm is devoted to type
.oI farming adapted to its conditions,
IT 1T is as good or better than the
