] NORWICH BULLETIN, WEUNESUAY, JUNE 9, 1915 REGORDS FROM LEBANON FARMS County Agent Warner Has Received Figures to Show What Their Returns Are in Labor Income—$11,260 Capital Brings Return of $462 for Work Done—Requirements for Boys and Girls-to-Enlist in National Achievement Clubs, —— In order to find out just what the farmers in_ the vicinity of Lebanon are Teceiving for their labor, records of seventy farms have been taken by County Agent F. B. Warner of the New London County Improvement league. From these records it has been possible to figure out the farmer's la~ bor income. This is found by sub- stracting the total expense from the total receipts and from this sum sub- tracting the interest actually on the capital invested. The amount left will be what the farmer actually receives for his own labor and his managerial ability. In addition, he has received a house to live in and a considerable amount of farm produce for himself and family. The following shows how the labor income is figured: Receipts. Crops €018 yeev e o e 51600 Stock and stock $3175 Expenses.

Interest on capital at & per cent 311260 Labor iNCOMe .eepvisermmm o It has been found by studying a Jarge number of farm records that there are certain factors which great- Iy influence the labor income. These are Size of Business, Quality of Bus- iness ang Organized Diversify of Bus- ness Size of Business. By size of business is meant the capital invested, number of crop acres and amount of stock kept. In New London county, size of business is very important. The elev- en best farms had six more cows and ten acres more of crops than the av- erage. The same relationship ex- ists between the capital invested and labor income. Those farms with more than - the aveage capital had great- er average incomes than the farms with less than average capital. - Of course, there are some farms with smaller business which are producing @ larger labor income, but these are very few. From these facts it is evi- dent that operators of a small busi- ness are handicapped and before they can produce greater results, they will to enlarge their business. This be done by buying or renting jand, cropping. all the tillable on the farm keeping more and stock, and farming more in- or by doing the other work off the farm. better Quality of Business. The quality of crops and stock is also an important factor influencing labor income. In New London coun- ty the crop returns-are only fair. The crop yields especially hay and corn, should be nearly doubled. The quality of cows seems to be inferior on most of the 70 farms. The average receipts per cow were only $84 with $108 on the better farms. Nine farms had cows which averaged over $116 per cow. The average la- bor was $1,077. One farm had cows averaging $151 per cow. Only two farms with cows poorer than the average male labor incomes of over $800. ‘The 28 farms with cows better than average male labor incomes of $501. The 42 farms with cows poorer than the average male labor incomes of only $24. Diversity of Business. Often popular opinion seems to in- dicate that the specialized farms, with _only one main money source are the most profitable ones. How- ever, a large number of records show. that'the diversified farms, farms with from two to six_important sources, are far more profitable for a period of years. Consequently _diversity is an important factor_influencing labor in- come. Most . New London county farms lack diversity. Eleven farms with one main source income ~made labor incomes of , 19 farms with two main sources 23 farms with three main sour- ces' $132; seven farms with four main sources $383; six farms with five main sources $698: four farms with six main sources $1,425. Diversity may be increased by the erowing of hay and potatoes to sell the keeping of poultry and hogs, or by growing more fruit. Boys’ and Girls’ Clubs. In regard to the National Achieve- ment club County Agent War- ner states that all boys and girls in the New London county schools be- tween the ages of 10 and 16 vears of age may join the club by passing an examination at their schools in any of the following subjects: Namely, pota- to, sweet ‘corn' and tomato growing.

(Continued from Page Seven) peinfully in public prayer. A recent call of the layman's movement said that “our greatest need was not or- ganization or education or agitation, but prayer and the deptm of Jife dn-God which flows from prayer.” At 4 o'clock one bitterly cold morn- ing last December Miss Bridgeman and I were in the Himalayas, leaving the Danjiling hotel for a glimpse of the snows as ‘the Indians call the roof of the world. It had been raining fur ously as we crept up into the moun tains and in the blackness of that morning there was only one star to cheer us as we somewhat dubiously started for Tiger Hill; two lone women carried in chairs on the ehoulders of 12 strange Thibetans or Bhotans or Nepalere, queer, crazy looking men, speaking a strange jargon. But it was a solemn and beautiful ride, out into the darkness and silence, zigzagging up the mountain paths, past sleeping vil- lages; star after star came out, and we soon began to realize that it was going to be one of those wonderful mornings after the storm. At 6 o'clock we reached Tiger Hill, an Isolated peak 900 feet high, just as the sun was Tis- ing, and there before us .were the highest mountains of the world. Isup- pose we could see a hundred miles in every direction! East of us the wide Indian .plain with great rivers spark- ling in the sunlight. On the other side 120 miles away was the hazy pyramids of Mt. Everet, the highest mountain, and close by us, towering up into the sky more than 28,000 feet was Mag. Kinchinjungga, pink and white and glowing in the morning sunlight, the most stupendous picture I had ever dreamed of. On the way up we had been saying that we might not see Thibet—it was forbidden land—and we didn't, for a heavy bank of clouds was resting on that mysterious _country. But out through the cloud pierced & dozen snow-topped mountains each one touched with the Tosy color of that wondrous morning. Is it too fannnciful to make this marvelous vision a pro- precy? That even in the face of this awful and sobering mass, if we are true and faithful to our unparalleled opportunities, if we have a passion for yet the sunlight of God’s love will flood the whole world. Yes, even into far Thibet! The hymn O Word of God Incarnate was sung and the benediction was pro- nounced by Rev. S. H. Howe, D. D, pastor of Park Congregational church.
