PART II 



The Dairy Farming Business in General 



Dairy farming and fruit farming were the two distinct types of farming 

 investigated during the year. As the factors which make for success or failure 

 in these two types of farming are very different from one another, it has been 

 deemed advisable to report the detailed study in two separate publications. The 

 remainder of the present report covers the detail of the dairy farming business 

 and includes ninety-eight farms of the total one hundred and twenty-four farms 

 mentioned in the introductory portion of this report. Of the ninety-eight dairy 

 farms upon which figures were secured, it was found that sixteen were extreme in 

 certain points and could be used in the preparation of only a few tables of this 

 bulletin. 



In the several districts, and within particular districts, farms vary in 

 organization and size. Returns from the year's operations vary accordingly. 

 These points are brought out in Table No. 5. As this table, however, is somewhat 

 cumbersome owing to condensation, the main points are set forth more clearly 

 in the following pages, which contain smaller tables (Nos. 6 to 10), made from 

 Table No. 5, bearing on specific points.
