In recent publication of the Mich

Changes =, manzo Adams, of
the University of
Michigan, discusses
the changed conditions of agriculture
in that state. The notable feature has
been the change from extensive to in
tensive farming, and evolution in con-
ditions that is paralleled in the other
states of the middle west. Until 1880
the wasteful extensive methods were
employed. The chief business of the
Michigan farmer was not farming,
but the making of farm. He grew
wheat lavishly, and thus wasted his
rich soil, the temptation being espe-
cialy strong, inasmuch as of the north
central states Michigan is first in It's
average yield which for the last ten
years has been 1872 bushels. The usual
indications of intensive farming are an
increase in the rural population and
decrease In the size of the farms. Neith-
er of these conditions is found in Mich
igan. The average farm is so acres
in area, practically the same as in
1860, and about the size of the average
farm in New England, New York or
Pennsylvania. But the proportion of
sssss sts,,,ll land in each farm has in
