On 124 dairy farms where purebred bulls were kept at the head of the dairy herd, the average farm Income was $1,102 after deducting the taxes, interest on investment, etc. On 466 dairy farms where a grade bull stood at the head of the herd the farm income was found to be $734 poi year, and on 83 farms where scrub bulls were used the farm income was $243, or failed by $243 to pay interest inter-est on the investment, to sny nothing about pay for the owner's time. |
