MORE SMALL FARMS NEEDED.

Commercial Secretaries News Service
The average farm in scurry county
contains 8G4 7-1O acres ana in each
farm the average number OF acres OF
improved land is 1O1 6-1O. The Farm
ers Union Is strongly advocating the
reduction of the size of the farms Of
this state and IT'S President Hon.
Peter Radford, has previously, thru
the press. called attention TO the
number Of large farms IN scurry
county. Federal Census Records show
that we have 1855 farms that con
tain more than 100 acres. Mr. Rad
ford claims that If cheap money
were available more tenant farmers
would become home owners and the
owners Of these large tracts could
be induced to place their property
on the market In small tracts.
We now have 1924 farms In this
county and 7Og of them are operat-
ed by tenants
