The average farmer Melted only $500
cash last year. This is the situation
reported by Uncle Sam after checking
up over 10000 farms operated by their
owners. Also, during the year, they
increased their inventories Of machin-
cry and so on an average of $3.50.
Which gives them total profit of 5000
for their years work, in addition to
not having to pay rent or for food and
fuel grown for themselves.
This 5000 return was the yield on
an average investment of S17,490 Of
capital and the labor of the farm head
and his family.
