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.
