IMPROVING EFFICIENCY
Production efficiency i no
amger a goal for farmers:— it is
,i necessity for profitable opera
i.;ons. Mechanization and other
vehnological advances have m
jreased the load one may can
.landle. However, in r s ent .years,
a combination of factors has plac
ed the farmer in a position thht
demands efficiency on his fartn
to the fullest extent possible.’
Profit margins have ric.-reased.
Modern farming takes large cash
outlays for equipment, fertilizer,
.'uels and other purchased.items.
As the manufacturers’ costs have
Len, 5o have the farmers.
Every farm'operation takes a
balance of land, labor, capital and
management. However, .manage
ment and labor are the largest
imiting factors today Generally
'and is available- lor rental or
ourchase. Capital can be obtain
ed if the oper. !>r can display
management ability and a ^uffi- 1
:ient labor force to handle the
iperation for w! oh he wishes-to
borrow money. >
Planning i< f"' first step to
arc’ an efficient operation. ■ A
>ng-time farm pro.gr.ml should
io planned with three purposes
n mind: #
1. Getting maximum production
if crops and-or livestock. 2.;Mak
ng the moot efficient use of the
vailable labor and equipment,
l. Conserving and building soil
’ertility.
Making the most of the re
;ources at hand is the primary
oal. There are few farths. in
he country today that could not
mprovo r-tu—as I -.- s-inapiy reduc
■<? unnecessary costs.
Farm layout .is one maiot ■ rea
'mre savings can be riiade ' in
nany existing operations. It is
wible to avo f: -]-’ time’, fuel
psts and reduce b J handling,
'"or example, you can save up to
'9 p-'r cent on machine labor re
yrirrrccnt^ by changing ihree
ded field ; into re. t-impuar
fields.
To most farmers, small gross
: ncome i -. the numb r one .rrftb
’em. It may be re. e< ary to in
crease cash outlay "or feed or for
labor.
Low total co a de- - not always
mean “least expensive.” "he goal
in volume production is to realize
economics that will p "m : t a low 1
cost per unit of pioduct relative
to the sale price.
For example, a man putting on'
a pound of beef gain so- ?lc that
will sell for 27c is way ahead of
the man whose beef g rin cost 18c
per pound, but will onh- 11 icr
21c.
Record keep c iv-u red'
tool for farm pi.' ■’ im .-."d efb
ciepcy analysis. b - ■ ; what is
taking place, and where real ef
ficiency is being accomplished.
Records also show which enter
orise on a f^rm has the best "re
turn per unit of outlay.
Balancing . labor use through
the year is another major step
toward production efficiency.
Many farmers are going toward
a specialized operation that has
large labor requirements in cer
tain season and does not use la
hor in others. Duc to conflicts'
that mnv arise during the labor
season of the specialty, they may
ment of a well planned farming
not handle other crops or live
stock. • • ”
To sum it all up. good manage
in the stairway to more farm pro
fit.
JESUS KING OF KINGS
-
. A man born contrary to the laws of life, born amid poverty'
and; off to one .side of the highway of the world. He was Jesus
of Nazareth, the Man of Calvary and the Redeemer of the
wpfld. In infancy He startled a king, in childhood He puzzled
the doctors, in manhood He ruled the course of nature, walked
upon the billows as if pavement and took the Sea of Galilee
up in His arm; and rocked it to sleep. He healed the multi
tudes without medicine and made no charge for His service.
He never wrote a book, yi_-i. all the 1 ..1s of the country
could not hold the books that have been written about Him.
He never wrote a song and yet He has furnished the theme for
more songs than all the song writers combined. He never found
ed a college, but all the sc .ools put together cannot boast of
having as many students. Jie never pi'arcwed medicine, and
yet He has healed more broken hearts than all the doctors far
and near. t
He never marshalled a:-, army nor drafted a soldier, nor
fired a gun, and yet no leader ever had more soldiers who have
under His order;, made more rebels stack arm: and surrender
without a shot being f.red. He is the star of . , tronomy, the rock
of geology, the lion and the lamb of the zoological kingdom.
Every seventh day the wheels of commerc" cease their turning
and multitudes wind their way to worshipping a semblies to pay
homage and respect to Him.
The names of the pai l pr vid statesmen of Greece and Rome
have come and gone. The names of the past scientists, philoso
phers and theologians have come and gone, but the name of
Jesus abounds more and more. Though time has spread nine
teen hundred yeai.s between the people of this generation and
the scene of His cruficixion, yet He still lives. Herod could not
kill Him, Satan could not seduce Him, death could not destroy
Him and the grave could not hold Him.
He stands forth, upon the highest pinnacle of heavenly glory,
proclaimed of God, acknowledged by Angels, adored by Saints
and feared by the devils as the living personal Christ.
