FIX FARM INCOME BY
VOLUME OF BUSINESS
Must Be Margin Above Annual
Maintenance Charge.
Size of Business Is Most important
Factor to Be Considered in Select
ing a Place-Three Things
to Remember.

prepared by the United States Depart
ment of Agriculture.)
1t requires farm business of at
least fair size TO provide an income
that will merely cover maintenance
charges and these charges are
relatively higher for small farms
than for large ones say special
lists of the United States Department
of Agriculture. A farm may be of
such size as TO furnish most living
needs of the farmer, such as vege-
tables and fruits. as well as enough in
come to pay the taxes and running
expenses, but unless there is mar
gin above this annual maintenance
charge no progress can be made to-
ward accommodating surplus.
This point is often overlooked, and
thousands of men fail to understand
why they do not get ahead faster,
when, as matter of fact, the
size of their business is such
that there is only slight pos
.sibility of any margin being left after
obtaining bare living and paying
absolutely necessary running ex-
penses. Often the income is INSULT
cient even to do this. and the farmer
and his family have to go without
some of the comforts of life.
Thus it Is that the size of the farm
business is one of the most impor-
tant. if not the most important, factor
to be considered in selecting farm.
In determining the value of farm
in this regard ii is essential, special
lists say, to make sure of three things:

No Standardized Golf Ball.

An interesting point in connection
with balls is that tennis balls and
baseballs have both been standardized
much more than the golf ball. In golf
no particular brand of ball has been
adopted, but in the last year the rules
have been changed by the United
States Golf association and the Royal
and Ancient in Britain, to specify that
ball not smaller than 1852 inches
in diameter, nor more than 80 ounces
in weight be used in tournament golf.
THE Jason why no particular
make of ball has been selected as Of
fetal in the golf field Is that only one
player uses the ball in the course Of
the tournament" an authority said.
in tennis and baseball there has to
be not only standard ball, but one
of particular make. because with
these balls the player is asking his
opponent to use the same ball. Your
ball may suit your style of play yet
send him off his game. Exchange

The irrigated areas of the south

The first step which has direct

and allowed to dry can be baled more

Sources of Trouble.
Bleached hay, together with weeds,
causes considerable trouble in mar
keting alfalfa. 1t is well known that
alfalfa hay bleaches quickly when ex-
posed to bright sunlight, but there is
a wide difference of opinion as to just
the amount of nutrient that is lost
in bleaching
Commercial grade rules. however,
are based in part upon this factor.
Producers and shippers in these sec
tions contend that too much weight is
given the color factor in the present
commercial grades for alfalfa and not
sufficient weight to its feeding value.
From investigations recently made
by the bureau of markets and crop
estimates, it appears that when the
present grading rules are rigidly and
technically applied, as is frequently
the case on declining markets, it is
impossible under the most ideal condi-
lions to produce ''choice" grade alfal-
ia.
The presence of weed, blade of
grass or of bleached stem will pre-
vent bale from grading choice and
it is practically impossible to obtain
hay which is entirely clear of any Of
these things. Considerable hay is
bought and sold on this grade, how
ever, but the use Of it, and sometimes
