GOOD MONEY IN GOOD FARMING
"Let's Get to Work and
Pay Off the Mortgage"
N
"INE years ago Canada's national debt was about one-third of a billion. It is more than two and one-third billions today.
Our debts have greatly increased— our revenues must also go up. The farmer has to bear his share of the increased burden. That means he must increase his revenue.
Complaint has been heard that farmers under present conditions in Canada cannot make farming pay. And yet many thousands of Canadian farmers do make it pay.
How Is It Done?
Patient and industrious " carry on" will do wonders, but something more is needed. Too often "patient industry" is coupled with "dull persistence" in poorly thought out methods.
Farmers today more than ever, must plan ahead, as well as "plug along"; indeed they have no option, if they wish to succeed.
Co-ordination of head and hand will mean real success. Farming ui Canada has paid and pays now on many farms. It can be made to pay on almost every farm. Canadian agriculture has passed through low profit-making eras successfully in the past and can do so again.
Crop Returns Should be Increased
On the Central Experimental Farm at Ottawa some crop costs and crop profits in 1922 as contrasted with all-Ontario average crop costs and crop profits are given below. The all-Ontario figures are in brackets:
Cost per acre Profit per acre Hay $21.13 ($13.50) $11.21 ($5.09) Corn for
Forage $47.50 ($33.75) 510.38 ($2.86) Oats $26.47 ($19.32) $ 7.33 ( .04)
Similar reiiulu ran !>r nlmvn from the Dominion Experimental Farma in every provlncr.
Experimental Farm crops are sometimes claimed to be produced at too great cost. Thousands of experiments, however, show that increased cropping costs %wisely, applied up to a reasonable point always increase crop profits. This is true on the Experimental Farm —and on any and every farm.
With the increased cost pi production, the higher standards of living now prevailing cannot be maintained by poor farm management, "boarder" milkers, scrub beeves, poor quality hogs or non-profitable hens.
That even under present conditions profits may be made is testified by many skilful, observant and non-plunging farmers, who believe more in the policy of "slow but sure" and "pay as you go" rather than speed, with excessive borrowing and the often consequent disaster.
The results on our Experimental •Farms also bear testimony to the value of thorough, skilful work.
The Farmer Must Manufacture
But cropB alone are not enough. The farmer must change his crops into less bulky and more high-priced products—milk, pork, beef, mutton, poultry, etc.
With fair yielding cows dairying shows good profits in Canada. The average cow has increased her yield 2S% in the last ten years. She can quite readily go up another 25Tr and more, and there's where the profit lies.. Better feeding, better selection and better breeding will do the job—feed, weed, breed.
To do better feeding means better pastures and more generous supplies of palatable roughage. Short rations including clover and ensilage crops (corn, sunflower, pea and oat, etc.) will provide feed in abundance for both summer and winter. The experiments and investigations which the Dominion Department of Agriculture" have carried on prove that farming scientifically and systematically undertaken will pay profits. The records and particulars of such ' work in every province are available to the Canadian farmer.
