Many farmers realize but meager
incomes because their business is
small. Such men often feel that their
farm business is sufficiently large to
keep them busy the entire year, whent
as a matter of fact. the actual results
accomplished represent less than a
half years work, say farm manage
ment specialists of the United States
Department of Agriculture. A large
volume of business may be done On
a farm of few acres, while only q
small business may be conducted on
poorly managed farm of much larger
acreage. without reasonable size OF
business there is little opportunity
for satisfactory profit in farming.
The Essential Factors.
There are a number of factors
which materially affect success in the
organization and management OF
farms. Some are of greater impor-
lance than others, some may be dis-
regarded without serious conse-
quences; but as rule the profits de-
rived from farming depend very large
" upon the extent to which certain
essential features of organization and
management have been adopted and
adhered to, say farm management
specialists of the United States De
partment of Agriculture. Assuming
a type of farming adapted TO soil, eli
matte, and labor conditions, and es-
pecially to local conditions with ref
erence to markets and market facili-
ties. success is generally dependent
upon four important factors: Size OF
business. yield of crops. returns from
live stock, and efficiency Of labor.
Many other factors have their infiu-
ence and must not be overlooked on
given farm. For instance, the wise ex-
pendlture of capital is very important.
Again, In obtaining good return from
live stock the efficiency In feeding Is
very important. Farm management
studies show, however, that the farm
er whose business is efficient in the
four factors outlined is usually sue
cessful. The farms that excel In none
of these respects usually fail. Those
deficient In one or two mhy succeed
but their chances of success are great
