SOME SUCCESSFUL FARMS 565 



of the Cornell University Agricultural Experiment Station, 

 Ithaca, New York. 



A number of successful farms are given in Laboratory Exercises 

 in Farm Management, by Warren and Livermore, pages 

 50 to 62. 



A very successful farm of a city man who went to farming is 

 described in U. S. Dept. Agr., Farmers' Bulletin 432. In 1909, 

 the income due to the labor of the father and a son on this 

 farm seems to have been about $3500. 



A very successful tenant farm in New Jersey is described in 

 Farmers' Bulletin 472. 



A successful cotton farm that appears to have given a labor 

 income of $2000 to $3000 is described in U. S. Dept. Agr., 

 Farmers' Bulletin 364. 



A successful alfalfa and potato farm in Ohio is described in Cir- 

 cular 107 of the Ohio Agricultural Experiment Station, 

 Wooster, Ohio. The man who rented this farm paid cash 

 rent of about 6 per cent, and made a labor income of over 

 $3000. 



So far as the writer can determine, these are the only bulletins 

 that describe farms on which the labor income is as high 

 as $2000. 



A farm that is interesting because of the fair profit on a small 

 area is described on pages 7 to 16 of Farmers' Bulletin 325. 

 This man made a labor income of over $1000 on 40 acres 

 of land in Nebraska. With large farms and the usual types 

 of farming, much more than this is often made in the region, 

 but this farm is making a very large income for its size. 



A very successful system of tenant farming in Maryland is de- 

 scribed in Farmers' Bulletin 437.
