PAGE THREE “Th« secret of success is in high yields." \ N economic study of I if) farms in Chester and Saluda, two representa tive South Carolina Piedmont farming counties, has recently been completed by the South Carolina Experiment Station’s Department of Agricultural •Economics. 1 he results of this study indicate that the size of the fanning business is the most important factor in success. This “size of business’’ has to Jo, first of all, with the size of farm—that is, the number of acres planted. Hut there are other elements in size of busi ness besides size of farm. These include intensified production, larger yields pel unit, or efficiency’ in production. , Kegarding the importance uf size of farm toward success, here are some in teresting statements from J. E. Kulmei, assistant agricultural economist, who hel|x*d to conduct the study in Chester .m«l Saluda counties. About Siio of Farm '' 1 he average farmer in thi> gioup of i if> larnis had f>7 acres ot ciop land of which l") acres were planted to cot ton, the chief crop. \ he economic re turns to this group averaged minus £17 tor the year's work. On the other side of the picture, another group of farm ers unrated an average ot if>5 acres of crop land ot which about 74 acres were planted in cotton and received £770 la bor income. 1 his indicates that increas ing the size of the farm two and one- halt times increased lahoi incoim to this group many times. They received iSS pounds of lint cotton to the acre, as against 444 pounds of cotton on the average f«rm. The yields of wheat, corn, and hay were practically the same, the better farmers averaging about two bushels of oats |>er acre inure than did the average farmers.’’ If the farmer d<ies not have and can not buy sufficient land to increase the actual acre-size of his business, he may Size of Business Is Key to Farming Success BY A. B. BRYAN Dairy cowa may ba fitted ml* caah crop farming.** in many cases rent land tor this pur pose from a neighbor who has more than he can manage, Mr. Fulmer suggests, reminding us. however, that the size ot business any man might manage depends upon his managerial ability. It the tann operator has a larger sop ply of labor than of land, the easiest way to increase the size of his farming business is to intensify -that is, grow more on one acre or introduce certain livestock enterprises that may be operat ed without increasing the acre-size of the fa mi. Hogs, dairy cow’s, poultry mav he titled into the cash-crop fanning in such a way as to really enlarge the total farm enterprise. Maximum Output Important “ 1 he second most important princi ple is rates of production, or the max imum output for each unit of input,” says Mr. Fulmer, explaining, however, that “on a large farm one cannot ex pect to obtain yields as high as it is pos sible on small farms, due to the lack of control over the factors of production, of fertilizer, seed and labor. High yields are usually synonymous with low coats of production, and herein lies the mar gin for the farmer’s profit. In the study among fanners m Sa luda and Chester counties, size ot farms was held constant m an attempt to de termine the effect of high yields and oilier factors upon labor income. 'A fourth of the farmers making most favorable returns were segregated into one group and compared with the aver age it was found that the better farmers received ^27 for their year’s work, whereas the average farmer in the group received only $23. "A comparison of size of business re veals that crop land operated averaged 37 acres for all farms in the group, and 39 acres for the most successful farm ers. The best farmers planted only one acre more of cotton or 15 acres in all, so it appears that no significant differ ence exists between size of farms. ‘ITie secret of success lies in the such as land and weather, although the higher yields. This group obtained 32s operator very’ largely determines the use pounds of, lint cotton per acre, or 80 “Soil mint b« f*d for rooulte.” pounds more than did the average, and furthermore, the yields of all of the other major crops were distinctly high er. They obtained 18 bushels of corn. 19 bushels of oats and two tons of hay per acre as contrasted with only 12 bushels of corn, if) bushelsmf oafs and one ton of hay per acre on the average farm. Romodymg Low Production Asserting that farmers can do a great deal to remedy low production of many crop and livestock enterprises, Mr. Fulmer lists these five things lor atten tion regarding crop production: 1. Provide any needed drainage or terracing to prevent soil erosion. 2. Apply lime it nrcrvsary to correct soil acidity. 3. Improve the physical condition of the soil by crop*rotations and by appli cations of farm manures. 4. Plant only high grade varieties ot 5. Apply the essential plant lood ele incuts, nitrogen, plwtsphorus, and potash in the propri ratio only when needed. 1 o better the production ot livestock enterprises Mr. Fulmer lists tive other suggestions as essentials ot economic re turns and points out that in livestock enterprises it is easier to secure maxi- miim rates ot production because more of the production factors are under con trol of the farmer than is the case in crop production. •I. Better breeds of animals. 2. Better balanced rations. 3. (food buildings to protect I he stock from the weather. 4. Regular and kind treatment. 5. A supply of feed ample for the animal’s consuming capacity. “Livestock enlarge the farm enterpriaa." "Good buildings protect poultry.” ia£-„ NOTICE.—Bring your wheat to us.
