Key factors behind farm profits revealed by Illinois study
The Sears Roebuck Agricultural Foundation notes earnings vary greatly among similarly sized farms due to crop yields and management. A 1925 27 Illinois College of Agriculture analysis of 175 farmers shows the 35 most profitable farms earned about $8,000 annually more than the 85 least profitable. Higher yields, better seed, crop rotation, legumes, manure, and livestock efficiency drive the gap. Smaller power and machinery costs and lower labor and other expenses also correlate with higher profits. Implementing these practices can help less prosperous farmers rise toward the top.

Cotton Meet the Mill Demand for Higher Quality Cotton
The Sears-Stoe Buck Agricultural Foundation reports mills seek longer higher quality lint, with premiums for strict middling 14 percent inch staple up to 6 to 8 cents. Much Upland cotton under 11/16 inch is exported or bought in local markets on middling basis, discouraging quality improvements. wider use of graded pay and new long-staple varieties are urged to align yield with price and reduce freight costs.
