RAISING BIG CROP

Dalhart, Texas, Sept IA conser-

had not been demonstrated in this
altitude. With the experiments made
by the United States experimental sta

favorable general conditions all farm

Increase in Farm Values.
In striking contrast with the slow
growth in the number and acreage or
farms and the area of improved land
during the 10 years is the enormous
rise which has occurred in the value OF
farm property. Farm land, exclusive OF
buildings, which was valued at $lS,-
O5S. DOS, 900 in 1900 had more than
doubled before 1910, being then re-
turned as having a value of SIS, 1885,
10000. The enormous increase here
recorded of s15.32S. $4,000 represents
an advance of 117.4 percent in the value
of all land in farms
1t is Immediately evident that the rel
atively small increase in the total acre
age of farm land, AZ percent, was one
of the least important of the factors
causing the great increase in aggre-
gate value The average value of farm

In connection with the increase in
the average value of farm land, it is
interesting to note the fact that IN the
past decade. as for many decades pre-
viously, there has been much more
rapid increase in urban than IN rural
population. The population classed by
the census bureau as urban constituted
1913 percent of the total In 1917 as
compared with 40.5 percent in 1900. In
several states, and in many counties in
other states, there has been an actual
decrease in rural population since 1900,

the season record of $1,000 per acre on
asparagus made by F. c. Barker &

The need for a canning factory in
this valley is felt by every rancher and
farmer In the valley, for surplus crop
of fruit tomatoes and corn in season
could thus be handled at much
larger profit than possible by shipping
when prices are low, and with can
merry putting up asparagus in the fall
it would give a product that would
