Statistics of Census Bureau
Shows Decrease in Number
of Farms Last 10 Years
Especial from United Press


Washington, Sept. 7.-Strikingly
illustrative of the argument that a
"back to the farm" movement should
be inaugurated were statistics made
public by the census bureau, today
indicating that, during the last 10
years. the percentage of increase IN
number of farms has fallen far be-
bin dthat of the increase in popula-
ton.
Not since 1850 has the percentage
of increase been SO marked. Accord
ing to the census bureau, during the
10 year period beginning in 1900. the
population of the nation increased Il
per cent. During the same decade,
the number of farms increased from
5,737,372 to 6,340, 357, only 1O.5 per
cent Most remarkable. however, was
the showing of the increase in the
value of the farms Farm land. ex-
elusive of buildings, was valued at
s13 05S,O0S. 900 in 1900. In 1910 it
was worth $2S, 1856 ,770,06o--an adj
vance of III per cent.
The size of farms has increased,
according to returns big advance
was noted in the value of farm build
ings and implements. Hired labor, in
1910. absorbed $645, .000-an in
erea. of 80 per cent over 1900.
White farmers operated 5,422.892 OF
the farms. IS per cent. while the
number operated by negroes and
others not of the white race was
917.465. Both were sight increases
ever 1900. Sixty-six per cent. of all
farms were reported free of debt.
