They don’t earn any interest on the
investment until they are sold, but
there never has been a time when
a person owning a good diamond
could not raise cash upon it on al
most a minute’s notice. More wealth
can be concentrated in a small
space in the form of diamonds
than in any other commodiiy, and
the tendency, for a long period of

of farming will result in better in
comes for farmers is indicated in
studies which have been made by
the South Carolina Experiment
Station regarding the practices and
methods which influence the farm
income.
“These studies, covering a period
of seven years and made’’, says Di
rector H. W. Barre of the Station,
“in an effort to put more business
in farming indicate that five oper
ating factors responsible for income
are (1) farm maintenance, (2) size
of farm, (3) acreage of cash enter
prise, (4) value per acre of cash
enterprise, and (5) efficiency of
pro * iction.
farms,” Prof,
have farm main
tenance per centage of about SO per
cent.
“The size of the best paying
farms has been from four to six
mule, or 80 to 120 crop acres, the
acreage of cotton being from eight
to 12 per mule.
“The farmers who have taken
advantage nf these five causa! fac
tors have cleared money, even in
the poor years, the operator’s earn
ings in 1930 averaging $1,459.00.”
