Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Sixtieth Annual Report of the North Carolina Agricultural Experiment Station: For the Fiscal Year Ending June 30, 1937, Progress Report for Year Ending December 1, 1937
The Department of Agricultural Economics posts the monthly labor and cost data and at the close of each year prepares a summary statement showing the cost of each crop produced, the cost of producing milk, and also the cost of maintaining the dairy herd. The department also renders assistance to the other cooperating departments in developing ways and means of reducing costs, and in conducting the experiment in such a way as to reflect actual farm operations. A summary of the operations of the experiment has been prepared for each year from 1929 to 1936, inclusive. NO crops were produced in 1933 because the land was divided into a new field arrangement, and this was completed too late for any crops to be grown. The following table shows the yield per acre of various crops since the project was started in 1928. (r. E. L. Greene and C. D. Grinnells.)
