SMALLER FARMS.

In conversation with one of the
largest farmers in Grant county
the other day we were impressed
with the fact that what this country
needs is smaller farms and more in
tensive cultivation. Farmers in
Holland, Denmark, Switzerland
and al of the older countries where
land is worth from one hundred to
five hundred dollars an acre are
making a success with farming
from ten to forty acres, the latter
named figure being a very large
farm. In a greater measure will
this solve the help problem than
any other plan which may suggest
itself. A farmer with a farm of the
size mentioned can with his own
family do all the work the year
round, and in the case Of rush the
owners of two small farms could CO.
operate and do their harvesting to-
gether. One man with ten good
cows jared for as they are cared for
in some of the older countries, and
from twenty to thirty hogs, 81 good
flock of chickens, ETC., could make
as much by constant application as
can the farmer today with 100
acres poorly TILED, and poorly har-
vested, and who has to rely al
most constantly upon hired help.
The cutting up of large farms into
smaller ones would not only bene-
fit the farmer but would also be a
boom to the business interests of
all small cities and towns as we'll.
1t would more than double the pop
ulatiOn in rural districts and would
likewise increase the demand for
groceries, clothing, etc. In this
way the benefits would be mutual.
We venture to say that on every
farm of 100 acres today there is
enough land being poorly titled or
not being titled at all in fence cor
ners, weed patches, quack spots, etc,
to make a good living for the owner
thereof if it were in state of high
cultivation. 1t might be well for the
farmers of this section to study this
matter little more closely and see
if there is not truth enough in it to
warrant the cutting up of larger
farms and instead of one man farm
ing all of this, he could farm forty
acres for himself and rent three
smaller farms to good advantage.
