WILLIAM E. SAYLE

$176
Of this sum only about 22 per cent
was paid out in cash. The remainder
was furnished by the farm, not in the
form of money but in those things
for which the money would have been
exchanged. The extent to which a
farm can thus be made self-sustain-
ing, made to supply the wants of the
family that lives upon it without re-
sorting to buying and selling, is indi-
cated by conditions in the particular
area of North Carolina included in
the investigation.
The investigators found that in this
(area the average annual value of the
food, fuel, oil, and shelter enjoyed by
the farm family was $505. Of this
sum the farm furnished directly $429,
leaving only $76 to be bought.
Food was, of course, the principal
item. This amounted to $401.93, of
which $330.65, or 82.3 per cent, was
raised on the farm. If it had not been
indeed, for such articles as tea, coffee,
sugar, salt, and other groceries which
it was impossible to produce at home
these farms might be called actually
selfsustaining. Of the animal product
consumed—meat, poultry, milk, eggs,
cheese, etc.—97.3 per cent were home
grown; of the fruits 98 per cent and
of the vegetables 96.1 per cent Of
the other articles consumed, however,
and classed together as groceries, only
24 per cent was raised on the farm.
The grocery bill was therefore the
largest item in the cash expenditure.
This was even more apparent in
other sections where the farms were
less nearly self-sustaining than in this
particular area of North Carolina.
The bulk of the groceries -was always
bought by the total quantity consum-
ed depended to a great extent upon
the quantity of animal products and
vegetables raised on the farm. Where
these abounded the consumption of
groceries diminished. From this it
would seem that an obvious way to
effect an important saving inexpenses
is to raise more vegetables and animal
products on the farm. Whether it is
better to cut down expenses in this
way or to increase receipts by concen-
trating attention on cash crops is one
of the great problems in farm man-
agement the answer to which in each
individual case depends upon local
conditions. In the past, however,
many farmers have not realized the
existance of the alternative. The two
other important items in the cost of
maintenance are house rent and labor.
Both of these it is a common error to
overlook in estimating the farmers’
income. Since the house usually goes
with the farm and the labor is per-
formed by members of the family,!; •
Just how much does the average
farmer make? The answer to this
puzzling question has been long sought
by agricultural experts, since it is
the ultimate test of all systems of
farm management. It is simple en-
ough to calculate the cash profits re-
ceived in the course of the year, but
these do not measure the farmer’s suc-
cess. The farm supplies him with
much besides money—with food, shel-
ter, and fuel. For these things the
city worker has to pay out a large
part of his wages. They must, there-
fore, be included in any just estimate
of the farmer’s income. In other
words, the city worker is paid entire-
ly in cash, the farmer partly in cash,
partly directly in the necessities of
life.
To obtain fuller knowledge of the
value of this direct contribution from
the farm the department has recently
concluded an investigation which in-
cluded 438 farm families divided a-
mong 10 states in different sections
of the country. (United States De-
partment of Agriculture Farmers’
Bulletin 635.) The investigators
found that on these farms the cost of
maintaining each grown person was
on the average of $176 a year. This
sum was composed of the following
items:
Dairy products
Pork......
Poultry and <
Garden.....
Beef......
Fruit......
Wood and coal
Groceries ....
House rent ..
Labor.........
they would
____ themselves.
It is obviou^ therefore, that what
the farm furnishes directly in food,
in fuel, in shelter, and in rent is an
important part of the farm family’s
income. On the other hand it must ,
be remembered that the farmer has A Seemingly Common Disease
capital invested in his business, the
interest on which must be earned be-
fore he can truly be said to be making
money. In the proper relation of the I
three factors—interest on the invest- |
ment, cash receipts, and direct income |
from the farm—lies the secret of suc-
cessful farming.
