No. 4.] FACTORS IN SUCCESSFUL FARMING. 75 



You can't get such results up on the granite hillside with 

 11 acres. I believe, though, that the little farm is going to 

 do great things for the citj worker; not the millionaire who 

 has a big place, but the small worker in the factory. I 

 believe we are going to get the factories out into the smaller 

 towns, where the employees can live near the town and have 

 truck patches; where they can earn a part of their support, 

 and raise children and crops while at work in the factories. 

 I believe most thoroughly in every city worker, who can, 

 living on a farm. That is the home question. He has 

 another source of income, and he doesn't have to sell anything 

 from his farm. It makes a good place where he can bring 

 up his children. But of course that isn't farming. Farming 

 is taking land and out of that land creating enough money 

 income so that you can educate your children, and so that you 

 can have reading matter in your home, and music in your 

 home if you want it. That takes a reasonable wage, and I 

 have shown you this morning the four most important factors 

 in making that reasonable wage. Farming is not a bad busi- 

 ness; it is a good business if you like it and if you have 

 got the thing organized on a reasonable basis. 



!Now, I have not tried to compare farming with city occu- 

 pations. I have compared farming with farming to show- 

 how to make one farm pay as well as the next pays, whether 

 either is good, bad or indifferent; that isn't the subject this 

 morning. When you try to compare farming with city wages 

 you have got a pretty complicated problem, which we have 

 no time to discuss this morning. 



Mr. Worth. ]^ow, before any questions are asked, Mr. 

 P. M. Harwood would like to make a statement while the 

 o'entlemen are all here.
