WHY LOW RETURNS ARE REA
LIZED FROM SOME FARMS.
* Many a farmer failB to get ade
quate returns from his farm because
he stays at home too closely, puts in
too many hours a day following the
plow, and doeB not often enough visit !
good farmers in his neighborhood or
other sections of the country where
good farming is done. Furthermore,
a man physically exhausted from a
lonf. hard day's work is in no conai
lion to follow and get much out of
the literature of his business as re
ported in -.farm papers, agricultural
bulletins, reports, and books, and
without the advantage of all the In
formation available from every pos
sible source he will And awkward sit
uations when he romes to replan his
farm for profit.
Success in farming calls for the
"very best, efforts in- a man along all
lines. That best effort is called fot
replannlng a farm for profit. The
farmer w-ho is dissatisfied with his
income from the farm needs to think
seriously as to whether or not his
farm is planned light for the largest
"returns, remembering ? th*t ? good
farming calls for keeping up the pro
ductiveness ot-the farm while getting
maximum crops economically- from
the soil.
