Nov. 17, 1931.—3t., The author of this article was reared on a cotton farm and has worked on newspapers in Georgia, South Carolina, New Jersey and New York. In recent years he has engaged mostly in investigating and writing about economic sub jects, including agriculture. In the last four months he visited several hundred farms in the Carolinas and talked with many kinds of farmers in all parts of the two States. BY A. H. ULM Recently I saw in action a young Carolina farmer who a year or two ago was a tenant, and this year cultivated 1,800 acres of land. On him I would be willing to bet that within twenty years he will die from overwork, become a million aire, or land in the poorhouse. “Frankly, I am taking big chances on achieving big results,” he told me. A plunger with a penchant for farming, he is an admirable type of “money making” farmer. Shortly thereafter I talked with a man who began farming on rent ed land forty years ago. He, told me that no time had he ever had in hand more than a small surplus of cash—and not always that. He and his family now occupy one of the most charming homes I ever BAYER ASPIRIN is always SAFE TREASURER’S NOTICE NOTICE OF TAX SALE Under and by virtue of a warrant issued to me by the County Treas urer of McCormick County, I have seized the following described proo- erty to satisfy the taxes due the State of South Carolina and the County of McCormick, and the same will be sold to the highest bidder for cash on salesday, De cember 7, 1931, during the legal hours of sale in front of the Court House Door at McCormick, South Carolina, and the proceeds of the a t?vpf d nn^ t Vhp P ro!J e nf sale wU1 be applied to the payment onll? ° f i ° f thG Said taXeS and thR C0St 0f Sa 'Thp irnnpr?v nf TPnniS Harrison said seizure and sale, to wit: The propertv of W.

He had ac quired a good sized farm and so improved it and so rounded out his farming that for years prices have meant little to him. He reared eight children and sent them all to col lege having started some of them when cotton, always his principal money crop, was as low-priced as it has been lately. .He is what I would call a “mode of living” far mer. Too Many Join Money-Making School There is room and need for both the farmer whose objective is a lot of money and for the farmer who thinks and operates in terms of liv ing in fair comfort with reasonable security against misfortune. But there is much more rpom for the last than for the first. In the long run most farming must be, as it always has been, a mode of life rather than, in the money-making sense, a business. What I have seen and learned lately cause me to suspect that the present problems of American agri culture are wrapped up mightily with undue shifting of farmers from the mode of living to the money-making school. Every man who farms with the view of making a lot of money out of it is a plunger. The less the plunger conforms to what is prov- edly “safe,” the more he will gain if he wins at all. He rolls dice with the gods. Importance of Safety First When farming is pursued as a mode of life, safety must be of first consideration.

For instance, I looked into a dca^ en or more farming operations tluL are under the direction of womet. Now women like money as well 2* men do, but for largely differeaS. reasons. Yet I neither, saw ntar heard of a woman farmer who affected in the least by “momgr madness.” In all excepting os* case, Safety First was the und»- lying precaution • evident at evorr woman-operated farm I visitei. And the woman in the excepted, case has no children. The quali^r of management on the woman op erated farms I saw averages higher than does that on the men man aged farms I visited. This is be cause women are more given 1»» playing safe. ' Distribution of Risks The great risks always confront ing him impel the wise farmer wk** is not of the plunger type, to opi ate as safely as possible agaicrit both natural and economic uncer tainties. ’ “In not a single year since I la gan farming have I failed to gefe. good harvests of more than haV the things I grow for sale, and gorak prices for some of them,” I was tbit by an Orangeburg, South Caroling. County man, who markets on ma jor scale eight to ten different pnr ducts. He thus distributes Oet natural risks and, in even greater measurq, the economic risks i»- volved with prices. By producing in as great exlE«& as possible for his own cpnsunrjr tion,—that is, by buying and stag ing from and to himself, as it west. —the farmer can insulate a large- proportion of his operations fresfe the effects of price fluctuation*. I have talked with Caroliaa, farmers who send to market 25 to 30 different products each also with ones who, while livinc enviably well and are getijiv ahead securely, finger less monejr in a year than passes through Gmtt hands of a common laborer. In Diversity is Safety Distribution of both natural an* * economic risks is, I believe, t&e best argument for diversificatMJk by general farmers of other that the plunger type. I doubt t3si& diversification is the best way to make a lot of money farming, fcnfc no where does a chance of garni#*; high per centages of- profit keep company with safety. It is doubtful if thorough livtofr at home farming can be sustaina* by coldly statistical accounting costs; neither can the owning of m home by a city family be so sus tained. Statistical accounting 3wb its limitations. \ From what I have seen, I wraML say. that the biggest, pondemlte value in diversified and living-oflt- home farming is the degree of tection it gives against price fion- tuations and money crop sluoR— ages.
