When there is a source from which

Improved eunnery In the Navy.

Analysis of the gunnery exercises OF
the American navy during the past
year shows that the greatest progress
toward efficiency was made by vessels
Of the battleship class, due to the
large number of men aboard such
ships and the comparative stability of
the personnel. The navy department
considers that battleshlp gunnery is
at present about equal to that of
foreign battleships. 1t Is be-
lteved that next year vessels of

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. when,
as 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
farm Of few acres. while only n
small business may be conducted on a
poorly managed farm of much larger
acreage. Without reasonable size Of
business there Is little opportunity
for a 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-
tance than others, some may be dis
regarded without serious cOnse-
quences; but as a rule the profits de-
rived from farming dcpepd very large
ly 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
type of farming adapted to soil, cli-
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-
enee and must not be overlooked on a
given farm. For instance, the wise ex-
penditure of capital is very important.
Again, In obtaining a good return from
live stock the efficiency in feeding is
very important. Farm management
studies show, however, TINT 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 may succeed,
but their chances Of success are great
ly lessened.
| In comparing farms with respect to
volume of business some of the more
important factors to be con@'dered are
size Of farm, acres In crops, the
amount of live stock carried, the
amount of capital invested, and
amount of labor required in operating
| the farm. On farms where one enter
prise predominates. such as a special
ized cotton, fruit, or dairy farm, the
best measure Of size of business may
be the acres In cotton, acres in fruit
or number of cows. The amount of
labor required In operating the farm
may be used TO good advantage In
