SELECTING FARM
VERY IMPORTANT
Many Things to Consider That
May Have Decided Bearing
on Home and Business.
FERTILITY MOST DESIRABLE
Essential to Success Of Enterprise Is
High Quality Of Live Stock
Look to Source and De-
pendability Of Water.

prepared by the United States Department
of Agriculture.)
The wise selection of a farm Is vital
to the success and satisfaction of farm
life. Choosing farm often means
choosing a place in which to live and
work for lifetime. It is important.
Of course, to decide wisely in buying for
investment, says the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, but in making
selection for a home 1t Is dOubly
important to consider various features
that may have decided bearing on
the farm business or that may make
the home life attractive.
Home and Business InseparabIe.
The home side of the question must
always be kept in mind, for the farm
home and the farm business are In
separable. The desirable farm from a
business standpoint many times Is
found undesirable If it has no social
or community advantages. On the
other hand, desirable living conditions
are Of little or no advantage unless
supplemented by a successful farm
business. ~"
. In selecting farm 1t should be
borne In mind that 1t requires farm
business Of considerable size to pro
vide an income that will merely cover
maintenance charges, and that these
charges are relatively larger for small
farms than for large ones. A farm
must be of such size as to furnish
most of the supplies needed in the
farmers living. such as garden and
fruit, and enough income to pay the
taxes and running expenses. Unless,
however, there is margin above these
annual maintenance charges no prog
ress can be made toward accumulat-
ing surplus.
Another feature which the farm
seeker should see to is that prospects
for crop yields are more than sufficient
to balance the cost Of production.
Soils Of low fertility are handicapped
some are found to be positive liability
k 1t is necessary to farm them. 1t is
well to inquire thoroughly into crop
yields, not only those that have been
obtained on the farm itself for a period
Of years but those realized on adjacent
farms.
Equally essential to the success Of
the farm business is high quality Of
the live stock enterprise. To handle
live stock so it will pay for feed, care.
and labor is more than mere matter
Of management. for It is dependent

Irrigation.
not only on cheap roughage pasture,
market, and securing labor at reason
able rates, but also on the quality Of
the a&imals kept.
Crop land, In itself, Is Of little value
unless 1t is SO situated that 1t can be
made to yield profitable returns
through the use Of labor and
machinery. A farm Of 100 acres,
valued at 500 an acre, may be much
better purchase If practically all Of
the land can be put to some profitable
use, than another farm Of 100 acres,
at $50 an acre, Of which large areas
are practically useless, owing to
streams, and swamps that cannot be
drained, or rough stony tracts poorly
suited even for pasture.
Another factor Is ease Of cultivation.
II the land Is very steep or broken it
is not practicable to use improved
machinery and it Is often difficult to
harvest the crops and remove them
from the land by the usual methods.
This is particularly true in loading hay
and grain on steep hills.
The experienced farmer in selecting
a farm generally looks first to the
source and dependability Of the water
supply. He knows that farm without
and adequate supply Of water is most
undesirable. Attention should be di.
rected to the quality Of the water,
the question of whether the supply is
dependable at all seasons of the year,
and to the cost Of obtaining 1t. The
cost Of upkeep and supply Of water on
! farm is often Zig item.
