Vest there has also come system Of
intensive farming. the results OF which
would have seemed little less than
miraculous to the farmers OF genera
ton ago. Not only has the number OF
crops raised been greatly extended. but
the possible profits have become many
times as great as were those Of former
years.
In Utah crops OF alfalfa yielding
yearly returns Of from $50 20 $50 per
acre are not uncommon Sugar beets
worth N.50 per ton yield as high as so
tons per acre. Potatoes yield 500 bush
els per acre and onions larger amount
Peaches have given net return 81
over Si00 per acre and cherries. rasp-
berries and strawberries a profit even
greater.

farming and increased profits the size
of the average farm has decreased. the
