TAKES OFF DANDRUFF IIAID STOPS FALLING r demies $ Belli acre Every of tillable land that profft ably can be made productive is a loafer acre and should either be put to work or sold non-produci- ng - i THE average American farm ONthere are certain waste areas of land. can be brought under the plow by using proper methods and a sufficient outlay of capital, Some of these but others cannot be made tillable by any reasonable expenditure of effort or money. Of the latter? certain areas may be made productive by pasturing or giving them over to the production of timber. Many waste areas, however, owing to natural conditions, can never be profitably reclaimed, no matter how efficiently the land may be mandged. Certain other areas, found on almost all farms, may be termed wasted areas. That is, they are misused in such fashion that they produce nothing that, adds to the farm Income. These two classes of waste and wasted land, not being productive of Inpome, may be classed as nonproductive farm land. An important question to one who is considering leasing or. buying a farm is, what proportion of the land Is nonproductive? And this question is almost equally Important to the man who owns or operates a farm. In the latter case the question might better take this form: What per cent of my land is adding nothing to my income? On farms where-lanis cheap this is not a vital consideration, as the interest on invested in the nonproductive portion of the farm land is not great ; but as lands become higher in price it becomes more necessary to study efficiency in the use of farm land in order to avoid the loss entailed by having much capital Invested in nonproductive land, Every 'acre of nonproducing tillable land should be put to work or sold. Many farmers would make more money if their business were larger, but the size of a farm, from a financial standpoint,"" is measured not by the number of acres embraced in it but by the number that are producing economicrops, pasturing animals cally, or supporting a growth of marketable forest products. Nonproductive acres are loafer acres, and the money tied up in them is dead capital. On. every farm, however, there are certain areas necessarily devoted to Fences) nonproductive purposes. ditches, lanes, and building, lots produce nothing themselves, but they are frequently essential to production on the rest of the farm. Nevertheless, they may occupy in the aggregate a considerable percentage of the available the-capit- ! - members, ppill be the other woman. , ' , From figures compiled on the ad-vance in the high- cost of living frd'm four reliable sources by the professors and students of the University, of Utah, it appears that the; increase is not any Budden jump ahead ,in charges) but that In fact great increases kune in the prices in 1916 as withcompared those of 1915. . f,- .

COUNTY, NEW YORK, SNOWING FARM AFTER ELIMINATION OF LANE FARM LANE suit in the saving of much land now farms east of the Mississippi Is only devoted to these unproductive uses, a 59.5 and west of that river only 5.8. more difficult problem is presented by waste land land that Is rendered by swamps, ravines, rocks, slopes, etc., woodland that produces nothing salable, and pastures that are too poor to be profitable. Some areas are, of course, hopeless, and In .that cash they should be left out of the reckoning altogether. Before this is done, however, it will pay to look into the possibilities of profitable reclamation. Many untlllable fields, for example, may be turned Into productive pastures, or if they will not grow enough grass to make this economical they can be used for the production of timber. On the other hand, it frequently happens' that woodlots which yield nothing but a little firewood for home consumption are permitted to occupy valuable land. In deciding whether such lots should be cleared and tilled, the cost of clearing, the increased value Of the cleared land, the interest on the investment, the salable value of the timber products, and the added expense for firewood which will follow the disappearance of the timber must all be taken into account. With unwooded areas, the advisability of bringing them under the plow may be determined by comparing the prob-- , able cost with the market price of good arable land in the neighborhood. Obviously, the higher' the price of land rises the more incentive there is for the farmer to avoid waste in the utilization of it. It is significant, however, that investigations of the department of agriculture have shown that, irrespective of the price, tenants put a greater part of' their land to productive use than owners. The tenant pays rent for each acre and he cannot afford to have any of them Idle. On the other hand, the man who has no rent to pay may be able to get along on the produce of a part only of le ( Improved land, however, it should be noted, is not always the same as productive land. A good timber lot, for example, is not improved, but it may be highly productive, and farm buildings and fences stand on land that is In Improved but produces nothing. the final analysis, it is the amount of productive land that determines the earning capacity of a farm and that should, therefore," determine its price. In many cases land Is given over to use as pasture which will not support, sufficient stock tq make any reasonable return on the investment. Such land properly belongs in the category uf nonproductive, land, In that it makes no return commensurate with the Interest on the money invested. It should be borne in mind that the quality of the pasturage in relation to the land value is an important consideration in choosing a farm. For instance, what is economical pasture on land that is worth $10 an acre might, on land valued at $100 an acre be decidedly uneconomical. This relation should be carefully studied in buying a farm with much pasture land. To determine whether pasture land is economical or not, practical data should be secured as to the number of acres necessary to support one head of tock and the Interest on the value of the land in question compared with the current charge per head of the same kind of stock fpr a seasons pasturage. Or the estimated value of the return in increased value of the stock or its products may be used for comparison. By this means the relative economy of pastures may be determined.
