BEST PROFITS ON ORGANIZED FARMS It is possible to so organize the ifarm business that it may return [the owner the greatest profits. Such is the conclusion reached by Dr. G. W. Forster, agricultural ec onomist at State College, who has just prepared bulletin number 252. "Profitable P'arm Combinations" based on studies made in the^coastal plain section of North Carolina. The bulletin is issued by the North Carolina Experiment Station and is available to the farmers of the State free of cost. “To show how the farm may be organized, they have presented in this bulletin certain definite com' binations of crop and livestock en terprises,” says Dr. Forster. “These combinations are called standards. While they are not actual farms, they have been developed from accurate information carefully gathered from farms now being operated in the lower coastal plain. As a standard, they have selected that combination of crop and live stock enterprises for a given amount of land, labor and other items which appears to be the most profitable under conditions not only as they exist on these farms today but also in the years immediately ahead.” Dr. Forster makes it clear that mtse sianuaras are to De usea as guides to those who may want to reorganize their farms. Normal prices have been used in fixing the standards and some changes might be made annually based on the re ports issued by the federal and state authorities. Especially valuable in this, is the outlook for crops and livestock which is prepared each year about February first. However as a usual thing, farmers should or ganize their farms on a long time basis and drastic changes rn opera tion should not be made unless ec onomic conditions change radically.
