The average yield was 30 Gtjg aet.cg eack> ftshels an acre, giving hint a total Young Carter made a contract, with production of approximately 195,000 pjper on tkp basis of a nominal cash bushels, which he sold -at an average peak price of $1.35 a bushel. This brought him a gross revenue of approximately $263,250, While Carter has not completed compiling the Jigures of the cost of growing and harvesting* the crop, it is estimated roughly that $63,250 will cover his expenses, thus leaving him a net pro fit of $200,000 for his work. Tne estimate is given here of his total expenses prori.bly is consider ably in excess of the actual amount. As a matter of fact, young Carter did most of the work himself, break ing the land last fall and planting the wheat crop. His principal ex pense this year was the purchase of combines and tractors. At tlu.height of the liarvesting of the crop, he kept 15 combines running dt y nnd night. Following these com bines closely were 11 tractors pulling plows, which turned the stubble under rent for a period of eight years, the rent to be paid at the end of each crop-growing season. Carter then started to turn under the sod. He employed help in this work, but by the use of tractors and gang plows he was able to have the land leady for planting a), the proper time last fall. The winter and spring seasons were unusuallly favorable for the growing wheat, and this propi tious condition continued clear through harvest time, lt enabled him to produce one of the most notable and perhaps largest crop of grain ever gro vn in the Panhandle bv one man. With a clean-up of approximately $209,000, it naturally miglp bo ex- pti'led that young Carte:1Would start in ic spend part of hi, quituly ac quiredwealth, He declared, however, that he has no ’ntemi <r of abandon ing (ho agricultural on'm r that ho preparatory to the seeding of the has marked out for himt.oU, During G.500 acres in wheat again this fall. |the recent harvest, li* took his turn This venture of young Carter into {.ut’ various kinds of work as it dc- the realm of agriculture was made on vt‘h>ped day by day. a "shoestring.” He was graduated These tilings included the general from the University of Texas in June, j supi rvioion of the big farm and the 1928, at the age of 20.
