BIGGEST FARM'S BIG WAYS.
e
r Rankin Property in Missouri, Makes
rf $100,000 Profit in a Year.
it
& Near Tarkio, Mo., is the largest tillA
?ble farm in the United States the
h property of four children of the iate
5S David Rankin. It contains 23,000
Lr acres, and last year there were under
ie cultivation 14,000 acres in corn,
3,000 each in wheat and oats, and 1,o00
in alfalfa. At $125 an acre the
land alone is worth almost $3,000,000.
The profit on the entire farm
for one year recently was $100,000.
The farm makes a specialty of cattle,
for which practically all the grain
grown is used. Five thousand cattle
were fed on the farm last year. It
j was a theory of David Rankin, and
it is being adhered to in the operation
of the farm to-day, that many
n farmers sell too much raw material
and not enough of the finished product.
To an inquirer he said once:
"I find it profitable to feed corn, and
r- I gain an immense amount of fertilizer.
Thus I leave my farm as rich '
x_ as I found it."
Horses and mules are not permitted
to grow old on the Rankin farms.
Every year a sale is held there where
every horse and mule that has reach3t
ed a respectable age is disposed of.
is Practically every year the stables are
t> filled with a fresh population of work
R animals, insuring the maximum of
I- efficiency. At the last sale 357 horses
d and mules were sold and the proceeds
n of the sale netted more than $25,e
000. Buyers come hundreds of miles
(I to Tarkio to attend these sales,
n No manufacturing concern in
America keeps a closer tab on its
'e business than do the Rankin farms.
3 In a little office about 12 by 14 feet,
II in the rear of the First National
s Bank of Tarkio, two clerks and an
"s adding machine are busy with books
from one year's end to the other.
The farm is divided into 10 ranches
ranging from 640 to 4,760 acres.
. Five ranches are operated on a partnership
basis, the owners furnishing
& the land against the labor of the
partners.
>o
, A record of every transaction on
the farm is kept at the central office.
Not a .pound of soap, not a box of
matches is bought without a requisition,
signed by the foreman if the
ir
farm is operated directly or by the
n'rtnor if tho f.nrm ic nnprntpd on thp
partnership plan. Each foreman and
* partner must submit a monthly report
which is virtually an inventory
of the whole area and stock and
machinery. When the books are balanced
at the close of the year a
statement is made just as complete as
any business corporation could submit.
The farm is not as large by more
>f than 2,000 acres as it was when Dai
vid Rankin died in 1909. One thousil
and acres were sold last Summer and
t- 1,000 acres a year ago. One of the
r, axioms of David Rankin was: "Never
r. sell the farm." But the heirs of
1, Mr. Rankin are trying to make the
farm more compact, so that it can be
operated with greater economy,
ir Eventually it will probably be reduced
to about 15,000 acres and divided
e among the four heirs.
?r But if the Missouri farm acreage
has been reduced the loss has been
& made up in other States. The Ran).
kin estate recently bought 4,500
>r acres of land near Liberal Kan., and
about 9,000 acres near O'Neill, Neb.
