not able to gather, and in this way

CROP VALUES RAISED.
intense Cultivation Of small FARM
Has Proved Of BeBeft To New
England Agriculture.

Farmers in thickll settled districts
take naturally to concentrated or I'm
tensi,e" farming. They have high
priced land, manure cheap and plenty,
and almost unlimited markets for the
best grades Of fresh produce.
The result is shown conspicuously
In state like Massachusetts, says the
Massachusetts Ploughman. where 81
per cent. Of the people live in cities
and where. by the rapid increase Of
population during the last 20 years. the
farmers nearby market has increased
three and one-haf times. In the state
mentioned the number II acres cult
waited has. according To the statistics
Of Prof. Waugh, decreased - per cent,
and this alongside the great enlarge
mcut of the market. Most Of the land
thus gradually abandoned was not
suited for high-grade tillage crops and
has been left to pasturage and forest
growth. On the other hand the
amount of farm products has in
creased 81 per cent. In other words,
Massachusetts farmers raise One-half
more produce on thrce-fourths the
area as compared with 20 years ago.
Thus the working farms have grown
smaller. while the crops have grown
larger and more valuable. The great |
er part of this change is evidently in |
the farming regions in close touch |
with city markets. The more remote |
sections show fewer changes in 20
years, yet the same tendency 10 con-
centrate efforts on the best land is
everywhere noted.
Specialization is another influence
which has raised crop values. Farm
ing undercloth, gardening under glass.
.iralnage, heavy manuring and all the
various methods Of high pressure agri-
culture have all done their part. The
farmers Of the thickly settled regions
have become lately gardeners. milk
producers, fruit growers and the like.
and the old-timc. all-around farmer is
n the minority. This tendency is from
most points Of view one to be com

Many an apple orchard proves to
be failure because il is put on land
without the ground being put into
suitable state of preparation to
bear an orchard. Drainage is one Of
the first requisites for successful
orcharding. This is especially true
on heavy clays. 1t is an error to
suppose that hillsides do not need
drainage. We have known gradual
slopes that required drainage to per-

soils are of such texture that the

Keeping Farm Soil Fer,il.

Farmers are beginning to wake UT
to the importance of keeping their
soil fertile. They have found out
that they cannot go on indefinitely
taking crops from their land and re-
turning nothing to it. As a result
of this more and more are rotating
their crops, seeding down more land
to clover, are keeping more stock 20
produce more fertilizers. and are
learning that instead OF their land
wearing out and the soil becoming
exhausted. that they can improve
the fertility of their land and raise
heavier crops with less labor, and
make more than they could under
the old system Of robhing the land.
