[Prepared by United States department of agriculture.] According to the 1910 census, 46.2 per cent of the land area of the United States is in farms, and 54.4 per cent of this, or 25.1 per cent of the total area, is improved. .The United States de- partment of agriculture has recently estimated that 40 per cent of our cul- tivated land is reasonably well culti- vated and that 12 per cent yields maxi- mum net returns. If these figures are correct we find by computation that only 10 per cent of the total area of the United States is reasonably well cultivated and that but 8 per cent yields maximum net returns. This does not indicate a very high level of efficiency in farming. A con- .siderable percentage of our unprofita- ble land doubtless never can be brought under successful cultivation by any methods now known. It is also true that the sudden advancement of all our arable land to a point where each farm would become 100 per cent efficient might seriously affect the busi- ness side of farming by lowering the prices of agricultural products. Yet as population increases all classes of peo- UNPROFITABLE ACRES ON A MASSACHU- SETTS FARM IN SPRING—SAME LAND IMPROVED IN LATE SUMMER. ple will undoubtedly be benefited if the rapidly rising price of farm products can be met at least in part by setting idle acres to work and by making un- profitable acres yield a satisfactory in- come. Farm management investigations show that a large percentage of farms are now managed at a loss and that on almost every farm a portion of the area is carried at a loss. Of the 2,000 farms surveyed during the past year in the north,.south and west over 30 per cent had minus labor incomes. We bear many uncomplimentary things said about the unprofitable dairy cow, the *“boarder,” supported from the profits of the remainder of the herd, but on many farms the unprofitable dairy cow is. not the only boarder. Low yielding acres, like boarder cows, are often fatal to successful farming. Our farm survey records show that acres of poorly drained, compact and sour soils or soils low in humus great- ly reduce net profits and that they are a frequent cause of minus labor in come. Sometimes these records show that as much as 30 per cent of the en tire farm acreage does not produce enough to pay its way. One farm in Wisconsin on which rec- ords were recently taken has forty acres of poorly drained land that in its present condition im practically worth- less. Twenty-five dollars per acre spent in drainage will make this forty acre tract the equal of any in that district, and good land is selling there at $150 per acre. A small portion of similar land on this farm has already been tile drained and is now producing a fair profit on each acre so improved. The successful business man always tries to weed out all unprofitable enter- prises and to expand those that pay a profit. Unprofitable acres cannot al- ways be-disposed of as readily as boarder cows, but usually they can be improved until they become profit bear- ing. If the income from such land can- not be increased it is quite possible that the labor spent upon it can be re- duced until the income at least pays a little more than the cost of labor. Tools For Indoor Gardening. All the tools that are necessary for indoor gardening, which can be made an interesting recreation for the whole household, are a large sheet of wrap- ping paper, a ruler and a pencil. After lookimg over the garden and selecting the plot of soil best suited for gour purpose measure this and outline it on paper on a scale of one-fourth or one- eighth inch to the foot. ‘Subscribe for tne Ploneer KKK KKK KK KD x * CLOSING HOURS—Want. * Ads to be classified prop- ¥ erly in the Pioneer want col- ¥ umn must be in before 11 ¥ 'o'clock.
