$2928, while 10 farmers having the
lowest yields made earnings of only
1921.
High butterfat production per
cow affects farm earnings just as
do increased crops yields. This is
especially important on the particu-
lar group of farms in this survey
because butterfat sales form the
chief source of income.
Efficient feeding has a very
important bearing on the earnings
of farms which, like those studied,
receive a large percentage Of their
receipts from livestock. It was like
wise found that labor is one of the
most important elements of cost in
farm production. Even though
most of the labor on these farms is
contributed by the farmer and his
family farm earnings are increased
materially by using it effectively.
Finally, it was apparent that real
success in farming is not a one
sided affair. High crop yields alone
for instance, are not enough to in.
sure success. The farmer who is
somewhat better than average in
half a dozen of the major farm
enterprises has much better
chance of making profit than one
who may be apnormally high in
one or two and below average in
others.

Secret of Success on Farms
In Minnesota Discovered
Management Study in Southern
Minnesota Given BY School
Some Interesting Data

F.. Believing that there are reasons
why some farmers make money
while others do not, farm manage
ment specialists of the University
of Minneapolis and the United
States Department of Agriculture
have been cooperating with about
175 dairy farmers in southern Mimi
esota for the past two years in
studying the factors and methods
of management that effect farm
earnings. AS a result, they have dis
covered several things that appear
to have an important hearing on
success or failure.
The-farms studied are located in
Dodge, Freeborn, Goodhue, Rice,
Steele and Waseca counties. Each
farmer kept a complete set of farm
accounts with the help of the spec
ialists who at the end of each year
analysed the records to find out
how much each farm had made or
lost and, if possible, to discover the
reasons for the profits or losses.
The results of the first two years
of study are summarized by w. P.
Ranney in the May issue of Mime
sofa Farm Business Notes, publish
ed by the agricultural extension
division at University Farm, st.
Paul.
The farms included in the survey
were typical dairy farms with hogs
ranking next to COWS in Importance
as sources of income. The average
size of the farms studied in 1929
