Why farm Income* Vary I 11 | tmatmrarurtsmc*r r?^\ J KIND Of CHOPS iSO* ' * / m I PPKXS RKCNCO FOR ? _ ff f OKAIMUaO mM* -ifr I jwhsmbqck wwcultmwi nwomm EurnliiKB ut farmers to the same community, with farms of approxi mately the same size, with similar soils and the same expense per acre, may differ as much as several thou sand dollars a year, states the Sears Roebuck Agricultural Foundation. The larger incomes are the reward for superior management and the appli cation of better methods of farm prac tice. Analysis of the records of ITS farm ers for the three years, 192b to 1927, by the Illinois College of Agriculture revealed that the 85 most profitable farms bad net earnings of approxi mately *8,000 annually more than the earnings of the 85 least profitable. The farms In the least profitable group averaged 214 acres compared with 248 for the others, but the In vestment per acre was practically the same. Among the factors responsible for the variations In earnings, the most important was crop yields, which caused *831 of the average annual difference between the 85 most profit able and'the 35 least profitable farms. The other factors and the difference In earnings attributable to them were: amount of live stock. *657; efficiency of live stock. *557; kind of crops, (804; prices received for grain. *280; cost of power and machinery, *216; cost of man labor. *49; and other ex panses, *28. on um 35 moat promaDie rarms un average yields of grain per acre wire about 19 per cent higher than on the 39 leaat profitable farm a. The nae ot high-yielding, adapted rarletlee of aeed. testing for germination and freedom from disease, the rotation of crops, the?. growing of legumes, the feeding of crops to lire stock and conserving manure, and the use of such materials as limestone and rock phosphate, are the principal steps to high yields. Some of these farmer* made as much as 3900 a year more than others merely through the use of high-yielding varieties of seed. Farmers who disposed of a larger proportion of their cfops through live stock had larger net Income* than those who sold most of their grain. On the 39 most profitable farms, the productive live stock returned $183 for every $100 worth of feed used, while on the least profitable. It re turned only $139. As an average of all the farms, live stock returned $191 for each $100 worth of feed. Sanitation, disease control, the use of legume pastures, the purchase of high protein supplements to balance home-grown feeds, good breeding stock and producing so aa to take advan tage of seasonal fluctuatlona In price* were tho chief factor* in efficient live stock production. The most successful farmers In creased their Income* $304 s year by having a high percentage of the till able land in crops producing higher profits, such as corn, wheat alfalfa, and a smaller share in low profit crops such as sat* and timothy hay. They received $280 more because they obtained higher prices for their grain. They marketed when prices were good and sold grain of better qoallty. The 36 most profitable farmer* spent $216 leas per year per farm for power and machinery than the least profit able group The labor cost was $40 less, and other expenses, $28 leap It is significant that tbe most profit able farm* got their higher Incomes with a smaller power and aaathlner/ cost and with less labor expenditure per acra than *? the least profitable ' farms. Uaag ? the measures taken by soo eeastei tanners to Increase their tn eaanea can be applied as easily by termer* in meager circumstances a* by those who are proeparous, the Foundation adds Through them, sock farmers can eventually Jsie the SUO cesaful group Smmmv - - T'f Sale of Real Estate.
