FARMING COSTS -MAY BE CUT BY _ ORGANIZATION Large Scale Operations Will Permit Production Econo- mies FARMER A BUSINESSMAN Manager Farming Develops Rapidly in Last Few Years, Secretary Says Columbus, Ohio, Oct. 29.—(AP)— Like giant corporations that have swallowed smaller competitors and effected economies of production, the farms of the future may become large-scale operations, the smaller | merging with the larger. Such a picture was painted by Renick W. Dunlap, assistant secre- tary of agriculture, in an address before the Ohio State Real Estate|. convention here. “While it may not be the best thing for country life,” Dunlap said, “T see in the future a larger-sized farm in many, but not in all, sec- tions of the country. Right now there is an unmistakable tendency on the part of more aggressive and farsighted farmers to enlarge the | P' size of their holdings. Larger scale farming usually permits certain economies of production.” Machinery Cuts Labor The secretary pointed to western states as an example, where large farms permit the use of combina- tion machinery that has reduced the man hours of labor required to har- vest an acre of wheat from 3 1-2 to 3-4 hours. He says the corn belt farmer of the future very likely will have a larger farm unit, also, al- though the change will come more slowly in an old agricultural area like Ohio than in Montana or west- ern Kansas, Dunlap declares the change will be made because the farmer of outstanding business abil- ity will realize that the successful management of the larger farm of- fers as wide a scope for his resource- fulness as do many of the enterprises of the city. In that day the farmer will be a business manager in the strictest sense of the word. Large Farms Pay “The ultimate extent to which this opportunity for the cultivation of larger units will be carried on,” Dunlap says, “is difficult to say. Whether or not the technical ad- vantages to be derived will be such as to make profitable holdings large enough to bring the advantages of corporate ownership and financing into play is a question. I know of successful large corporation farms, one of which in January of this year declared a 30 per cent dividend and had money left in its treasury. “However, all large-scale farms need not be, and today as a rule are not, corporation farms, but are in the hands of individuals or partner- ships. During recent years there has been a rapid development in the com belt of another form of oper- ation which variously has been called group farming, combined farming, supervised farming, or manager farming. This type, again, is not a corporate form, but consists in the operation of a number of separate farms under competent one-man management, usually with tenants.” Millet Production in State Shows Decrease When final figures are compiled, it is expected that the production of millet in North Dakota was smaller than for,many years. production, especially southeastern parts of the state, is expected to be decreased by 15 to 25 per cent, according to a report is- sued today by the U. S. department of iculture. growers were mostly 85 cents to $1, as com- pared with $1 to $1.15 or $1.30 last year, and $1.60 to $1.75 the year be- fore that.” $$» i Never Late to Work | Pete birds Bord ot | Thirty-eight years of employment’ in the same office is the record of Luther H.

The federal bureau of chemistry and soils believes that analysis of cornstalks, corncobs, grain straws, sugar-cane bagasse, cottonseed, pea- nut hulls and other substances has brought science only to the thresh- old of tremendous possibilities. . While a wide range of experi- ments has proven practical uses for numerous waste products, research has not been carried enough to determine the essential of profit- able commercial exploitation. Chem- ists are of the opinion that such re- searches are properly the function of state and federal governments. use economically of the great vol- ume of farm by-products which now are farm wastes, it is essential that fundamental research reveal the facts of the chemistry of carbohy- drates, the celluloses, the pentosans, and lignin. Dr. Henry G. Knight, chief of the bureau, says the millions of tons of lignin and other organic material from the woodpulp industry, now poured into streams where it pollutes the water and kills fish, is only one example of a material for which chemists should find commercial use, and in which immediate and extended research is needed. at Band is Formed Tuttle School! going to have a commu!

E. Wenzel, commissioner of the workmen’s compensation bureau. “During the eight and one-half ars, the general level of all rates tas been increased by 11 per cent,” Wenzel said. “There are individual classifications which have had in- creases of rates as high as 50 per cent, and there are some that have proximate decreases. “We find that we have 138 clas: fications in which the average at nual receipts in premiums for eat is about $730, and if one workman in any one year meets with an ac- cident as a result of which he loses a thumb, the cost of that injury would exceed the total average pre- mium paid by the entire classifica- tion. " “The number of classifications should, if at all possible, be reduced to at least 100.” TRAPPER CUT OFF TOES Prince George, B. C., Oct. 29.—J. ica when he was 11 yearg old.
