A small farm will provide a good living for any family if good manage ment is practiced to make a little bit go a long way, says T. K. Jones farm - management analyst for the State College Extension Service. . Careful planning and wise alloca tion of funds and other resources are necessary if .the . farm family; is to nave a high , standard of living, Mr. Jones stated. Present Prices make it important for the email farmer to re duce cash expenses by producing as mucn of nis food supply as possible. That a live-at-home program can be practiced on the small farm is evi denced by the way. Stokes A. Burl- son of the Crossnore Community in Avery' County, has carried his out Mr. Burlson became a demonstra tion farmer in his, community in 1938 when ' he agreed to cooperate with the TVA' and the N. C. Extension Service. ' Practicing what he has learned since that time, Mr. Burlson plants a good garden each year and produces an adequate supply of both earlyv and late vegetables - for his family) needs. Two high producing Guernsey cows provide the family with plenty of milk throughout the year. 'An ample supply . of pork is cured each year and usually a beef is canned" for later use. Fruit, root crops and vegetables are stored for, consumption ', during the winter' months and more .than 400 quarts of vegetables, ..fruits and meat were' canned last year. !
