After studying these records it would seem that a good return per acre is necessary Uimake a good labor income, the larmers with low returns per acre did not make good labor incomes, but neither did those farmers with the highest return per acre make good labor incomes.

While the average farm has about 12 per cent iu operating capital this larm has 20. It seems that the pasture management is bet.er on this larm than on most 01 the farms. As last as possible the operator oi the farm is cutting the farm into fifteen or twenty acre fields which he pastures alternately, wnen one field has been pastured otf and the stock taken to another pasture, this field is immediately given a good sprinkling with, liquid manure. This practice is followed as tar as possible over the w nole farm. This it seems is a particularly well balanced farm and one in which many ways might be used as a standard.

During the first part of February, 1916. farm analysis records were taken of one hundred and three Tillamook County farms by County Agriculturist R. C.

This circular contains the averages figured Irom 1 I the records secured on fifty-seven of the bottom land farms, i'll? tifty-cighth I farm was exculded from the average because it was a market milk and truck farm.
