ABANDONED FARMS.

Massachusetts, is going into the aban-
doned farm business, like the other New
England States, and finds 1t no longer profit
able to cultivate its lands. Although Its
population is rapidly increasing, the acreage
under cultivation grows steadily less each
year. The State Bureau of Labor, which
has been inquiring into this matter dis
covers that there are ,461 abandoned farms
in the State, representing three-fourths per
cent. of its total acreage These farms are
totally abandoned, and are not those which
the owners have left but are still cultivated
They are deserted, forlorn and desolate, and
the buildings are more than half of them in
decay. And these abandoned farms are in.
creasing in number yearly, and the people
showing less and less disposition for farm
life. Nor is this the only cause of their aban-
donment. Agriculture has ceased to be
profitable in many portions of New Eng
land through the competition of the South
and West, and many of the farms still un-
der cultivation are carried on at loss, and
must sooner or later be given up.
Vermont did not take the abandonment
OF its farms with good grace and made a
very strong fight to bring them under cult
vaton. They were advertised far and wide
and the Commissioner of immigration made
special offers to immigrants desirous of set
ting in Vermont, but he does not seem to
have accomplished much, for the farms in
that State are still abandoned. There seems
to be no possible chance for restoring agri-
culture in New England
