The Federal Census reports,
1910, disclose a very encourag
ing condition in regard to the
size of Texas farms.
The average acres per farm
reported in 1910, were 262 as
against 357 in 1900, making a
reduction of 80 acres per
farm. But we still have approx
200 acres per farm more
than we can properly cultivate.
We have 10,777 farms of one
thousand acres and over.
Texas needs more farms and
smaller farms.
