BETTER FARMING MEANS
GREATER PROEIT
A Single Crop Not Productive of In
come Except For Short Time—Con
tinuous Occupation Required For
Success.
ROTATION OF CROPS BEST
Income Varies in Proportion to Time
and Labor Used—A Four Year Rota
tion Most Productive—Figures From
Arkansas Farms.
By C. O. Carpenter, Assistant Agricul
turist For Iron Mountain Railroad.
The gravest criticism against the
one-crop system is its inability to em
ploy the farmer and his work stock
for a sufficient number of the working
days in the year to enable him to se
cure a living income. No man, no
matter what his business, can make
a success when he works at that bus
iness as little time as does the aver
age actual producer of cotton. This
farmer may add some to his income
by hauling wood, hut he can no more
expect to be a success its a farmer
than can the merchant, hanker or pro
itnruuuai man « uw n o ' nir* 11uni 11r n.n
to cut. wood. Most people who suc
ceed at farming, as well as any other
business, are those who peg away at
that business for full three hundred
and sixty-five days in the year. ,
The average one-horse cotton farm
er will not work in his crop more
than 75 days, while his horse will
work but. sixty-five. The average man
with two horses, according to data
gathered on Arkansas farms by Mr.
A. D. McNair, will cultivate fifteen
acres of cotton and fifteen acres of
corn. This crop will require an aver
age of 130 days labor by the farmer,
102 days by hired labor, and 91 days
by the team. At the average rate of
production this farm would produce
$300 worth of cotton and $180 worth
of corn, a gross total income of $490,
or $378 for the farm, after the outside
labor is paid. The team in this sys
tem will not pay for its keep by the
work done on the farm, for it is esti
mated that the lowest average cost
of keeping a team on a farm is $100.
By practicing a three-year rotation
ofcotton, corn and oats and hay, the
farmer would cultivate 22’2 acres rer
mule, or 45 acres in all. He -would
work 150 days in his crop, would re
quire a hired man for 140 days, and
his team would work 135 days. The
farm will produce an equal amount of
cotton and com, and $200 worth of
oats and $180 worth of hay, a gross
total of $860, which, after deducting
the hired labor, would leave a farm
income of $720.
Four Year Rotation Best.
With a four-year rotation system,
including cotton, peas or soy beans,
corn and oats and hay, there would
be thirty acres in cultivation for each
horse, or sixty in all. The team
would work 162 days in the year, the
farmer 194 days, and hired labor 154
flays. The income would include an
additional $200 for the pea or soy
bean crop and amount to a gross to
tal of $1,060. which, less the hired la
bor cost, would leave $906 for the
farm income. The labor ineoine
would, of course, be much lower.
These figures are not intended to
give a system for any farm. They
are merely suggestive, and are not as
theoretical as might appear to some
people, for they were taken from ac
tual work on farms in the slate. They
point to how the farmer can increase
the farm income simply by planning
the work of himself and team so that
they can work a few more days in
the field. The additional income that
might he gained from live stock grown
on the feeds produced and on pas
tures has not been taken into eon
sideratlon. Such live stock would add
materially to the income. It is an un
fortunate fact, however, that many of
the people of th'' state have not as yet
i unit- iu it rriuiiitiioH mat a pig will
grunt and grow and a cow give milk
on the days when the owner cannot
work in the field.
HOW TO BOOST ARKANSAS
Every housewife, when making pur
chases, should always ask for “Arkan
sas Products.”
Serve a dinner in your home at
least one a month using only products
grown in Arkansas.
Get behind the “Let Arkansas Feed
Herself” movement.
Local merchants should patronize
home farmers by buying home grown
products in preference to those ship
ped in from the outside. Patronize
home people and they will patronize
you.
Encourage diversified farming and
livestock growing in Arkansas.
Every boy and girl in your county
should own a pig, a calf or some
chickens.
Hankers shoukSToan" moneT*^Tn"
farms to do livestock farming.
Have the schools in -your county
take up the study of Arkansas
products.
When buying anything, call for
“Arkansas Products” and if your mer
chant hasn't them he will be com
jelled to -get f-bziaa.
