v jp age six th acton free press acton ontario titutrkoay novkmuku 17 ims reports and aimckw ffiwn haltons farmlands and farm organizations farming business or way of life discussed in economics article last winter the junior farmers of ontario in their intercounty debat ing league debated resolved that farrhlntr today should be considered great increase in mechanization by 1951 the investment in land and buildings had dropped below 60 per cent and the balance of the capital as a business and ndt as a way of investment in live stock and ranch- life inery undoubtedly much can bo said on just how the distribution is today both sides of the question however in this brief article we do not intend to uphold the morits of either side of the question but we were inter ested to note in a recent issue of farm business an article entitled the use of capital on ontario farms by p w wripht of the de partment of economics at the on tario agricultural college at tho outset professor y wright states commercial farming has for a number of years been developing into the- rntefiory of big private- business the reasons for the change are muny and include such things its higher land values improved prhr- tices ejtti-nsivi- imcliunizntiim and more stringent market require ments imitributlon of capital at tht- begininr of this cuntnry investment in land and buildings re presented us much as 80 per cent of the total capital in the farm busi ness of tle runiamiiik per cent live stock investment represented about 15 per cent and farm muchin- ry the other five per cent as we study tho iruplt which acceimpiiniis the article we note this pattern in the distriliulion of tin- farm capital remained pretty much on tin- basis until 1911 in the decade which followed 1 194119511 there is a bin cliuiikt- in the pie-tun- the mujiir changes hnve been in increased numbers and quality of live stock per farm and a in 1855 we do not know in any event the situation in halton and the immediate district surrounding toronto and hamilton would not give a true picture for ontiirio fixed and variable expense this change in the intensity of farming may also be seen in the changing pattern of farm expenses in 92b fixed expenses that is taxes interest on indebtedness and de preciation represented 39 per cent of the farm expenses by i9f0 the fixed expenses had dropped to approximately 20 per cent of the total expenses and the variable expenses rent hired labor feed and seed repairs fertilizer gasoline etc i now represented nearly ho per cent of the total in short the increase in the proportion in variable expenses emphasizes the- current trend toward greater pro duction investment per worker current investment figures for these well run commercial farms show an almost uniform figure of 20 000 pir man this contrasts with many industrial farms having capi tal investment of about 5000 per worker or less it is perhaps un necessary to point out that if it were necessary forhhe young farm operator to acquire the full ivmniinl or even a large part of the sum re quired in farming before starting in farming there would be few if uiiy new fanners crop soil
