family labor by over $4,000. Sim
| llarly, three of the 378 farmers
lacked over $4,000 of paying ex-
penses. The average operators la
Dor income on the 378 farms was
S277. The rs most profitable farms,
Neff points out, averaged S139S op-
orators labor income, while the Is
least profitable farms lacked $772
apiece of having any labor income,
difference of $2.17O for the year
or $188.33 per month. The differ
ence in earnings is accounted for
by the IS most profitable farms hav-
ing a greater volume of business,
excelling in greater yields per acre
for all crops produced, and keeping
more livestock. The yields on the
most profitable farms were greater
by 81 bushels per acre for corn,
1912 bushels for oats, 80 bushels
for wheat, and 1.6 tons for silage
than were the yields on tht least
profitable farms. Records show that
the rs most profitable farms had 4
higher percentage of crop land in
corn and a greater percentage OF
the hay was legumes They also
averaged 1856 income from cash
crops such as potatoes, melons,
fruit, tobacco, ETC., while the rs
least profitable farms averaged only
S103 from cash crops.
Farmers making the most money
kept TT cows each, and farmers
with the lowest incomes owned Ga
cows each, Neff asserts. The better
farmers sold SAG worth of milk
and $78 worth of cream per COW,
while farmers in the low income
group averaged s97 milk sales per
COW and $45 cream sales per COW.
One and half more pigs were raised
per sow on the profitable farms
than on the least profitable farms.
The farms in the largest income
group also had lis hens and av-
eraged 1892 egg and meat sales
per hen as compared with log hens
and $2.88 egg and meat sales per
hen on the rs least profitable farms.
These same factors are true in
Morgan county and the farmers in
the county who are getting the
largest yields pei acre through
lining, soil testing, applying fer.
tilizer intelligently and using GER
tilted seed and other recommended
tions of their experiment station,
are having the least difficulty in
making ends meet in the farm busi-
ness. The same thing is true rela-
tive to yields from livestock: The
men in the county who are doing
the least worrying about low prices
for things they sell are those who,
through following extension, recom4
mendations are having the most
dairy products to sell per cow; the
most wool to sell per sheep; the
greatest number of lambs raised per-
100 brood ewes. These men are
worrying the least about low prices
because the methods they are fol-
lowing are enabling them, to- pro-
duce at the lowest possible cost per
unit. The farmers who. do, not do
these things will find it increasingly
difficult to make the farm yield
satisfactory income during the next
several years.
