the past 100 years the farmers Of
this country have been too busy con-
quering land to pay much attention
to organizing and sy4tematizlng
their business. However, he declar-
ed that the time is now here when,
the farmer who would succeed must
put business into his farming opera
tions and that better farm manage
ment will help him to better cope with
hard times like he is experiencing at
this time and enable him to get the
best of the good times. The 100 per
cent farmer was pictured as the man
/ who puts individuality, work, profess
sionalism and business into his farm
operation. The farmer who neglects
any one of these lacks just that much
measuring up to his possibilities. Two
! important things in farm management
as pointed out by the speaker are
managerial ability and ability to or
agnize. In these individuality counts
just as it does in operating store
or any other business, he stated. The
farmer must study his farm-know
the sail; what it is capable of produc-
3, ing, etc.
The five commandments of success
full farm management are: Consid-
er the size of the farm; yields of
crops; utilization of pastures; proper
ton of crops and livestocks; diversity
of crops and livestock. Where these
points are studied and observed the
farmer is usually a successful one &C.
cordiug to numerous surveys and in
vestigations in all parts of the coun-
try according to Dan Cooper. Inves-
tigation aso shows that the medium
sized farm Of about 200 acres, well
managed, brings in the best returns
for the average farmer. He said
that the well managed farm should
get it's income from both livestock and
crops about so per cent from crops
1 and 40 per cent from livestock. He
stressed the fact that it is not good
thing to get all of the income of the
! far mfrom any one crop or livestock
alone. The growing fthree t ofour
principal crops to sell for cash with
livestock fitting onto the scheme are
essential for we'll managed success

Farmers Now Marketing Many Crops

The activities Of Tennessee far

lively that Tennessee agriculture is go

some weeks more than half of the
county agents in every section of the
state report either the establishment

rators, or that few farmers have
made their first shipments of cream.

Farmers and farm homemakers of
Middle Tennessee counties held their
twentieth annual institute at Column
bia ON August 8, 10, IL, and the ses-
sion was declared one of the best in
the history of the organization.
The attendance at the various ses-
sions of both the farmers and the
home makers was about the same as
previous years, but every one seemed
to show more real interest in the va
rious sessions tina never before The
delegates seemingly came to get ev-
cry bit of information that they pos
SHY could and to hear to see and to
discuss problems that are of vital in
terest to them The spirit that pre-
vailed the se-ions was hopeful, opti-
mistie and thoroughly helpful and
great lasting good is expected to re-
suit from the meeting.
Able addresses on agriculture in
general, farm management, dairying,
sheep husbandry, roads, schools, and
tenancy b widely known speakers and
number of practical demonstrations
and upon discussions of live farm top
les were the high points of the pro-
gram for the farmers. The home
makers were given strong program
consisting of demonstrations and ad-
dresses. A feature of the section
was a bread contest between county
club girls champions Convention at
Chicago in December. This trip was
offered by the Ford Flour Co. of
Nashville and was won by Mis- Grace
Whiteshell of Marshall couny.
That legislation alone connot rem
edy the economic ills of farmers and
an appeal for the operation of farms
on business principles were the main
features of the resolutions adopted
by the farmers nthe closing day.
