however, triumphant IN the world of
fashion, outrivals this old-time favorite

of colors peculiar to the present sea-

medium in which color--of whatever
kind-has found its best expression,
from the richest and glossiest blacks
to the palest tints, and we are inclined
to believe that it has reached the
zenith of its beauty in this particular
summer. Quite likely our grandmoth-

That the size Of the farm has much
to do with the success Of the owner Is
shown by results of a survey conduct
cd by the United States Department
Of Agriculture in five counties in the
south and southeastern Ozark region
of Missouri. The operation Of a gen
eral farm in the OzarkS with much
less than 70 acres Of land for crops is
exceedingly unsatisfactory, regardless
Of the location of the farm, whether
among the valleys or the hills.
Study Many Kinds Of Farms.
The report of the survey published
by the department as Department Bull
etin 9ll. entitled "Farm Management
in the Ozark Region Of Missouri is
based on the study Of the organization
and management of - farms, 81 Of
which are representative Of conditions
Of rolling and hilly upIandS, and IS Of
valley and level uplandS. The topO-
graphical structure to a large extent
determines the agricultural value Of
the land, says the report. AS a rule
the operator Of a valley or level up
land farm has Il decided advantage
over the operator Of the rough farm.
After dcducting from their total re-
ceiptS the years operating expenses,
including the value Of family labor
and allowing ) per cent interest on
| the capital invested, the survey shows
that the operators of rolling and hilly
farms had, in 1917, an average labor
income of 5000, and those operating
valley or leye! upland farms an aver
age Of SG4G
Of the 70 farms studied, 20 per cent
had no labor income after allowing for
the deductions referred to. and 81 per
cent had a labor income above $1,000.
Labor incomes earned by typical oper-
ators indicate that one having much
less than DO acres of crop land for a
general livestock farm has a rather
poor chance of financial success.
Better Cows Would Increase Income.
Livestock farming is the principal
agricultural industry of the region.
The use of COWS for dairy purposes is
increasing. The average annual pro-
ductiOn per COW of IS cows on the
better class of dairy farms in the area
covered by the survey was l42 pounds
Of butterfat. This industry, says the
report, would become more profitable
if COWS of greater productive capacity
were introduced, and the production
would be increased if the feeding of

more generally. Pasturage is the
foundation Of a livestock industry
but natural pastures can be greatly
improved by thinning out woodland
areas, keeping the underbrush down
and sowing tame grasses.
For greater assurance of livestock
feeds during the summer droughts, tc
which the section is liable, many
farmers plant sorghum, millet and
kafr corn as auxiliary hay crops. Or

produced for winter feed and, some
times to supplement the pasture dur

care alfalfa, clover, soy beans an(

these crops, both for hay and grazing
being clearly recognized.
The soils of the region have a wide
variation in natural fertility and pro
ductveness. They are usually porous
owing to the large content of stone
and gravel. AS a result, air and water
circulate through them freely, anC
