M. Eliot, Chief of Div-| ision of Farm and Ranch Ports of the Experiment Station, stated | that there were a number of factors | that affected a farmer’s income, such | as soil, climate, rotation of crops, seasonal distribution of labor, sea- sonal demand for labor, overhead ex-! penses, and special enterprise ex- pense, but that in his discussion he would treat more particularly of two or three of these important items. Concerning rotation of crops, he | stated that England had for nearly a century been experimenting with this field, and that in the United States this type of experimental work was young, but that altogether these two countries had learned a great deal about crop rotation; that cer- tain crops take certain elements out of the soil; that legumes take nitro- gen from the air and puts it into the soil; that rotation did much to keep down plant diseases and to control destructive insects. A number of interesting charts were exhibited to show the distribu- tion of and the demand for seasonal labor, especial emphasis being placed on the one-man farm. The labor de- mand varies where the crop is chief- ly any one crop, and the problem is to find such a combination as will give proper distribution of labor and at the same time result in sufficient re- | turns financially. Such a problem | can be solved only through crop diversification. In trying to find a satisfactory dis- tribution between cotton and small grains, it was discovered that a com- petitive ratio existed. Furthermore, all of a farmer’s problems involve as much mathematics and economics as does a railroad system; in fact, the theory of accounting was more com- plicated in the former than in the lat- ter. A diversified farm gives good distribution of labor over all seasons, as well as much better financial re- turn. Especially attractive was a chart giving a glimpse of an ideal Texas farm, examples of which are found in all parts of the state. Not only is the distribution of labor one of the farmer’s most important problems, but another equally as weighty is that of the size of his bus- iness. A farmer who ploughs with four mules a day instead of two does a bigger day’s work. A farmer who has livestock will consume a great deal of feed that will otherwise go to waste; furthermore, good labor dis- tribution is impossible without some livestock. Extra mules, extra equip- ment, extra livestock, and extra build- ings and fences amount of capital. Good labor distribution and larger business requires the growing of a variety of crops. marketing institutions, require a large This requires new | rogeel or Foedeodesd boefeedeedoetest Bk a aS and better a a a a a Ro pefaeireiosiocfociaetasts 2, he Le.

Better farming, then, depends partly upon the farmer, but very largely upon what the state is able to do in the way of providing better markets and better credit institutions.
