TOWARD
D|VERs|F|CAT|ON

Fort Worth, Texas, Feb. 9.-Reports
received by the Texas Commercial
Secretaries and Business Mems Asso-
citation indicate that, although rather
early for anything like an accurate
estimate, there seemed in January to
be a general tendency in the state
toward diversification of farm prod
ucts. Information assembled shows
that there will likely be more acreage
devoted to the growing Of tomatoes,
potatoes, cucumbers, strawberries and
onions in 1912 than ever before in
Texas.
Approximately 5000 acres of land
have been transplanted to onions,
which is 1000 acres more than was
shown for January, 1911. The in
crease in acreage was in Dimimt, Ia
valla and LaSalle counties.
Notwithstanding the general ten
dency to diversity, especially in the
southern part of the state, it is esti-
mated that $4,000 acres Of new land
will be planted in cotton this year
in Nueces County, practically doubling
the cotton acreage in that county.

Fort Worth, Texas, Feb. 9.-Reports
received by the Texas Commercial
Secretaries and Business Mems Asso
citation show that one of the most no.
ticeable features along agricultural
lines in Texas is the marked tendency
to subdivide the large ranches into
small farms, changing in such cases
from the methods of extensive to in
tensive farming. Reports received
show that during the month farms
ranging in size from 5000 to $4,000
acres, with a combined area of ap
proximately $4,000 acres, were cut W
into 40, so and 160-acre tracts.
