stores ltd len wilkes clothes shop raxlin furniture appliances news for the farmer farm accounts help commercial farming is rap- lidy passing into the category ol big private business and a large amount of capital is re quired to finance the successful farm business an example can be found in the capital invest ment of all the illustration sta tions and experimental sub stations operated in canada during the period 194s52 the average total capital invest ment in these farms amounted to 23000 or soo per acre of total farm area the greatest proportion of the farm capital was in the land and buildings a total of 12000 or 52 per cent the value of the farm livestock made up about onefifth of the capital requirements and the machinery and equipment ab out 28 per cent the money re- quired to purchase a good farm has always been relatively large hut experience has shown that given all the per sonal requiremnts for success ful farming the opportunities for success on a good farm are much better than on a poor farm even though the debt load may be greater both in total and proportionately there is no better method of measuring the financial suc cess or failure of a farm than by keeping a set of accounts such accounts need not be com plicated and a suitable book may be obtained from the queens printer ottawa for the nominal sum of twenty- five cents one interesting way of com paring the success of the farm business is to divide the total farm income in the year by the total cash expenses this will give a figure which indi cates the income which was received for every dollar of ex pense an analysis of the farm busi ness of all the illustration and substations using this meth od indicates that during 10-18- 52 these farms received back 8155 for every dollar of ex pense expressed the other way around this means that for every dollar of income 65 cents was paid out in expenses these expense figures quoted here include the value of new equipment bought during this period cash expenses are such a vital part of the farm business today that it is important to realize the fullest possible bene fit from such exepnditures in order to increase income cost of production records kept by the illustration stations divi sion indicate how important it is to reduce costs in certain phases for example in 1952 aoout 70 per cent of the cost of producing wheat on fallow is up to the end of seeding in this particular example it is the tillage done this year that determines in a large mea sure the net income which will be derived from next years crop the use of recommended crop rotations and rates of fer tilizer application for each type of farming are other ways of increasing totai revenue with out increasing costs propor tionately as much and then a final key to suc cess
