Farm records kept on 47 farms in Cass county last year show that the ten best farmers of the roup made an average of $3,235 as a farm income while the ten poorest farmers made an average of only $100. Consider ing the labor income the differences are even more striking the ten best made $3,199 while the ten poorest made an average of $1,675. These farmers live in the same county, some almost side by side. The difference in income are due to the diffrences in methods used, farm expense, crop yield per acre, and net profit from live stock. Farm expenses of the best farms took only $43 of each of $100 of gross income while the expenses of the ten poorest farms ate $97 of each $100. The ten best farms averaged from 25 to 50 per cent high yields per acre of corn, oats, wheat and legume hays. The ten best farmers received from each $100 invested, $154 while the ten poorest received only $103. On the basis of feed fed the ten best farm ers got $224 per $100 worth of feed used while the others got only $147. $10,000 for Best Ads!
