" Men (Ms psurr, rmm Improved Farm Implements Are Tho farmer himself, In tho last analysis, dotorrnlnca tho ofllcloncy of every nuccensrul funning; onterpriso, according to tho government's farm management Investigations, These In vestlKations woro carried on to deter mlno Junt what were tho main factors making for succoss in agriculture Tho farmer who comprehends and ap plies tho principles of good farm or ganization, selection of good seed, til lago, and food, who Is quick to under stand tho readjustment and Improve ment of oxlstlng systems In caso of need, Is tho farmer who gets tho max imum result with tho minimum ex penditure of monoy and effort Although the farmer may not under stand tho meaning of "applied econom ics," ho will many times, through ex perience and training, know how to use tho eclcnco much bettor than ono versed only In tho general theories. Tho United States department of ag riculture's Investigator has listed other factors of efficiency In farming bb fol lows: Tho magnitude of tho business, whether measured by area of land farmed, amount of working capital cm ployed, or tho number of days of pro ductive labor provided. Organization, which determines tho dogroo of diversity of enterprises on tho farm which may bo mado to pro vide full occupation to tho avallablo labor and equipment while avoiding tho necessity of hiring largo amountB of extra labor. System of management: It Is shown that neighboring farmors, with similar typoB of farming, devoto very different nmounto of time to tho various classes of enterprises on their farms becauso of tho lack of standard systoms of management of theso ontcrprlsos, and It Is not always tho mnn who dovotes tho most tlmo to an enterprise who makos tho largest profits from It. Lack of Bystem means lost motion and useless work. Adaptability of enterprises: In or dor that tho farm may bo profitable tho crops and live stock maintained upon It must bo adapted not only to local condition of soil and climate but also to existing economic conditions. Quality of tho business: Tho Income per animal unit Is a very Important factor In profit Yield por aero Is also Important, but less so than tho In- como por animal unit Moderate ylolds may be more profitable than very high ylolds. On a farm which combines a large number of theso factors of efficiency, profits aro greater than on those which aro efficient In fewer things. Many other factors of efficiency exist, but thoy are not nera ueau wun for lack of sufficient data. Adaptability of Enterprises. Ono of the most Important factors in determining profit In farming is the adaptability of enterprises to soil and ollmatlo conditions, and especially to existing economic conditions.
