On and About the Farm

Texas farms average 269 acres and
were 357 in 1900. In both states
large stock ranches have been cut up
into smaller farms, thus reducing the
average acreage.
Irrigation will add vast areas 70
the cultivable areas in the United
States; drainage will reelaim much
land that now produces no crops, but
10th these agencies cannot bring
lands into cultivation as fast as the
population increases. One of two re-
suits is inevitable: Either the size
of the farms viii continually adimin-
ish or American farmers will become
tenants to absentee landlords. We
believe that the farms will grow
smaller.-Missouri and Kansas Farm
