Plan No. 627. Farms Too Large
Here is what a woman did in the State of Washington, and the following statement is in her own language. She must have made money on $2 wheat.
“Twelve years ago I started in owing $2,500 on 320 acres. Since then I have purchased two more sections in Lincoln county, Washington, and two sections in Canada and have never had a mortgage on my home place. The money has all come from the ranch in Lincoln County.
“This year I had 85 acres of barley, which yielded 50 bushels per acre, and 640 acres of wheat, which yielded 29 bushels per acre. I sold my barley at $1.20 per hundred and my wheat at $1 per bushel. My 1913 crop was still better, as part of my wheat made 52 bushels.”
