Farm management studies were ex-

studies Of farm income on various
types OF farms, farm production In To-

This extended service to farmers
was made possible largely by the con

economics. In the new bureau the

To Meet Changed Condi-
lions New Forms Have
Been Devised.

prepared BY the United States Department
OF Agficuiturel
To assist American farmers in or
ganizlng their business to meet the
changed economic conditions Of pres
ent-day agriculture, new forms of ag-
ricultural information have been deyet
oped. and fundamental studies In farm
organization, marketing and crop es-
Inmates have been expended by the
bureau Of agricultural economics dur
Ing the past year. according to the an
nual report Of the bureau.
"In the period of agricultural re
adjustment experienced during the
past year, 1t was important for farm
ers to secure the facts bearing upon
current problems that would give them
the greatest aid In making accurate
decisions In planning farm operations
and In marketing their products" says
the report. srhe first attention of the
bureau stan has been directed con-
stantly toward these problems in re-
Spouse to the greatly increased de
mands upon the bureau for informa-
ton on the general conditions of supply
md demand. price trends, the effect of
various domestic and foreign factors
upon the farmers returns, and for in
formation bearing upon problems Of
crop readjustment."
Live Stock Surveys Help.
Special effort was made to strength
en- present crop and live stock report
ing methods, and to supplement these
methods by surveys designed to give
a more accurate knowledge of future
supplies. The seml-annual pig surveys
which give an indication of Intentions
of farmers regarding the production Of
hogs, and the reports Of farmers in
tentions to plant various crops are out
lined as indicating the bureaus activl-
ties along this line Numerous me-
chanical and other methods have also
been developed to obtain maximum ac-
curacy in acreage and production esti-
mates.
A worldwide crop and market report
ing service was developed by the bu-
reau, to obtain the essential facts con

A few simple guides for feeding have
been summarized. By the dairymen of
the United States Department of Ag-
riculture as follows: ~ Under most
circumstances the COW should be fed
all the roughage that she will eat up
clean, and the grain ration should be
adjusted to the milk production. (2l
A grain mixture should be fed in the
proportion of one pound to each three
pints or pounds of milk produced daily
by the COW, except in the case of a cow
producing flow of forty pounds or
more, when the ration may be one
pound to each three and half or
four pounds Of milk. An even better
rule is one pound of grain each day
for pound of butterfat that the COW
produces during the week. (3l Feed

Inefficient Production
No Cure for Low Prices

In discussing various aspects of farm
product values, Professor j. l. Fal-
coner, agricultural economist, Ohio
State university says:
InefIlciency in production is no cure
for low prices. Experience and re-
search have shown that farmers with
high yields make greater profits than
their neighbors with low yields. On
hlgh-priced land high yields are more
economical to produce than low yields.
If a reduction in output of a particu-
lar crop seems desirable, 1t would be
better to reduce the acreage or, for
individual farmers, to abandon the crop
entirely than to reduce the yields"

Dairymen Are in Favor
of Calves During Fall

Dairymen have practically settled
the question of having calves come
spring or fall, in favor of the fall sea-
son, because cows that freshen in the
fall always produce more milk and
butterfat than those that fresken in
the spring, and because there is more
time to attend the cows during the
winter. Hence from January to
March l is the most favorable season
to breed.
