NEW ENGLAND AGRICULTURE,
What the City Farmer is Doing for It
Discussed In Boston Paper.

The Boston Sunday Globe contained
"a discussion of the questions What is
the city farmer doing for Agriculture
/ In New Englandl The writers on this
subject were j. Lewis Ellsworth, see
rotary of the Massachusetts board Of
agriculture, y. j. Batchelder, seero-
tary of the New Hampshire board of
agriculture, Dr. q. NJ Pierce Of Maine
and George w. Pierce Of Brattleboro.
Mr.. Pierce s answer to the question
was as follows:
The question is one that offers food
for much discussion. There are Sec
tons in this state that may be improv-
ed by the coming of the "City Farm
err" ! refer to the abandoned farms
in the mountainous part of the state
those farms that are broken, being
hilly and rocky, and are growing up to
forests. These farms, situated on high
elevations, afford fine view for their
occupants. The purchasing of these
farms by city people opens up a market
for thousands of acres of unoceupied
land usually at nm advanced price,
but my observations have been that
very little, if any, farming is done on
these places.
/ am Of the opinion that the agricul-
tural interests of the state are, as a
rule, not improved by the ownership
of the better class of farms near our
centers of business by citypeople After
two or three years experience on these
farms, the owner, finding it unproft' !
able the way it has been conducted, ,
L. . In ssa
ing the land. The result is that the |
farm thereafter is used as a summer I
home only, and the place runs down.
| have in mind several farms of the
kind in this county.
We are always glad to have the city
people come TO the country and spend
their money, which, without doubt,
makes them a good investment for the
amount expended through the health
giving qualities of the mountain air
and the scenery thus obtained; and
certainly the state is financially better
off.
ulate the Abandoned farms of New
England i believe that if each state
legislature would enact a law exempt
ing from taxation for term of five
years any nonresident of good moral
character coming into the state and
purchasing an abandoned farm, and liv-
ng on the place and cultiyating a
pecific number of acres for the period
mentioned, the question of abandoned
arms would be solved aud the agri-
cultural interests would be greatly adj
.anced in New England.
