FARM MANAGEMENT ! IN DISTANT SECTION % _ Fundamental Principals of the Business of Farming Lit Stated by Experts. | * ^ ? i * JL ^Certain fundamental principles of farm management are advanced by specialists of the department as having been brought out or substantiated by a thoruogh agricultural survey of an old and representative farming sec- ( tion of Chester County, Pa. These principles are summarized as follows: Farming conforms to local soil, climate, labor, and market conditions as 4jtell as to the business conditions of the individual farm. When conditions remain unchanged for a long time, farming becomes approximately what it ought to be to get the best results, provided that practice which is immediately the most profitable does not deplete soil fertility. Success in farming, measured in per B^Rbnt of profit on investment, does not Bfcjfdepend on the magnitude of the farm business, but measured in terms of the ^standard living on the farm family it is directly proportional to the magnitude of business. Profits increase is yields per acre increase until the yields are considerably above the average for the locality, but beyond this point increased p yields are obtained at a loss. In quantity of product per dairy cow the point of diminishing returns is not reached in ordinary farm practice. It is easier and more profitable to increase low yeilds per acre than ones, and small product per cow than large product. In other words, profits can be increased more easily by atv . Mention to the weakest points in a farming system. There is a way of grooping the enterprises of a farm that is more profitable than any other way; that is, there is a certain most profitable acreage for each crop and a most profitable proportion of income from any source. ^ Some enterprises, such as poultry keeping, may easily be made profitable as side lines, yet are difficult to make profitable when made a main feature of the farm business. Production cost much more per bushel or per ton on the small farm than on the large farm of the same type. Diversity of business is an important factor of success on the average farm. A moderate degree of diversity is better than either extreme. These principles, to gether with the figures which serve to establish thenare discussed at length in a bulletin entitled "Farm Management Practice in Chester County, Pa.," about to be issued by the department. This work, %Ke result of a survey carrie dout by the Office of Farm Management, embodies a very exhaustive study of the agriculture of the region surveyed. SUMMONS FOR RELIEF Complaint Not Served.

The crop of cowpeas in South Carolina this year was unusually abundant and many farmers have made large quantities of both peas and hay. They are urged by the extension division of Clemson College to hold in reserve enough good peas to use for sowing purposes next year. | One of th ebest rotation practices for South Carolina is to follow oats or wheat by cowpeas. Peas sown on grain stubble have an excellent effect on the soil and if those farmers who are sowing oats and wheat now will plant thi? land to cowpeas next year they will ' n/1 4-V> A11? 1 r? /I i i> <r\. rv?*?.\n 4-1 ? ? mill CJIV.MI III I IVl 111 il K 1 Uil lltv 1II1[JI UVUll condition a year from now. o Milk Pails.

Step Against Weevil. "Clean up the farm in fall," is the | advice given to the farmers by the entomologist of Clemson College, who says that clean farming is not only an aid to the control of present insect pests but is one of the principal steps j in preparation against the boll weevil No practice on th farm, according to the entomologist, is more important than cleanliness, especially in fall. Tho nlimtlAV r\f inenrtto '' - - ? ...... WL \JM. HIOVl.li) 111 IIC" depends, to a great extent, on how well a farmer has cleaned his terraces, edges of fields, creek bottoms, and road sides. These are some of the places where insects spend the winter and where those that arc active during winter find food and shelter. For example, to leave poke weed on terraces is to invite the cotton red spider. To leave life everlasting weeds o nterraces and at the edges of fields is to invite the bud worm beetle and numerous other pests that stay on a farm during winter. ' ? . . The most important stop in fall cleaning is the destruction of corn stubble during late fall or winter. In the roots of the stubble are the winter homes of the corn stalk borer and the bill bug. The corn stalk borer is the insect that causes what are known as "windfalls" of corn. The bill worm or corn ear worm remains over winter from two to two and onehalf inches below the surface of the soil in undisturbed, neglected cotton and corn fields. Cleaning the farm in fall should be one of the first steps in preparatio against the coming of the boll weevil. This insect is tremendously destructive on plantations that maintain oh pastures covered with underbrush creek bottoms covered with weeds an< matted grass, rubbish-filled terraces, and neglected, weed-covered terraces and fields. o Several lots in the town of Conway will be solid on the first Monday ii December? under the mortgages given by L.

In retning land in the cotton States the system which offers the greatest opportunities for profit will also involve the greatest risk of loss. This is true for both landlord and tenant, but the system which is the safest for the tenant is the most risky for the landlord, and vice versa. These facts are brought out in a forthcoming bulletin of the department which contains the results of a study of 878 records, taken in 1913, relating to the business of tenants on plantations in the Yazoo-Mississippi Delta. In this bulletin a comparison is made between share croppers, who supply nothing but their labor and receive one-half of the crop; share renters, who supply their own implements and live stock and receive two thirds or three fourth of the crop, and cash renters who supply the same items as share renters but pay a fixed rent In cash or in cotton. ri.. 1 1 '' DiitMiy summarized, me most salient conclusions of the investigations, are: The share-cropping system is tho safest for the tenant. The share cropper is practically assured of average wages for his work, but he rarely makes a large income. The share renter fails more frequently to make even a bare living, but has a better chance to make a good income than has the share cropper. . j The cash renter runs still greater risk of failure, but has the greatest opportunity of making a labor income of not less than $1,000. The average labor income for share croppers during the year the invest!^ gat ion was made as $338, (or share renters $398, and for cash renters $478. From the point of view of the landlord the situation is reversed. He Is assured of a return of hot WOOti civ nrt/1 7 per cent on his investment whore the land is operated by cash renters, no matter what the yield or the tenant's labor income may be. Where the land is worked by share croppers or share renters the landlord's rate of interest often falls below 6 per cent, but when the yield is good and the tenant makes a guod return, the rate of interest rises to more than three times that amount. It appears on the whole that the landlord can make better money, on the average, when he rents his land on some system of shares. The average rate of interest received by the landlord from share croppers was 13.6 per cent, from share renters 11.8 per cent, and from cash renters 6.6 per cent. The holdings of share croppers are considerably smaller, on the average, than those of share renters or of cash renters, and there are few share croppers having as much as 25 acres in cotton, while about one-third of the share renters and of the cash renters have at least that acreage. The labor income of tenants increases directly with the increase in cotton acreage, but the rate of interest on the landlord's investment appears to be but little affected by the size of the holdings. The principal factor is determining the amount of the tenant's labor income and the rate of the landlord's profits in this region is the yield of cotton per acre. The effect of the yield :>f cotton upon labor income, however, is much more marked on cash renters' [arms than on those of share croppers while with the landlord the reverse is !;ruc. The effeet is more apparent unler the share cropping than under the <hare renting system. The tenant's ncentive for securing a good crop is consequently greater with cash rent, >ut, on the other hand, the landlord is nore directly interested in the yield per acre on the land of his share crop pers. Of the share croppers whose business was studied, only one reported a leficit, and very few had a labor income of less than $100. Two-thirds of .hem made between $200 and $400, Continued on Page Seven.
