Significance of such growth Here, as
IN the best European countries, the
small farm is a positive revenue
maker Years ago we learned the ad-
vantage of diversified agriculture.
This has resulted in the addition OF
millions of dollars to farm profits.
From the time former Gov Hoard be-
gan advocating dairying. many years
ago, we have been following a system
of mixed farming, with livestock pro-
duction predominating Hence. al
though the average Wisconsin farm
contains only 119 acres and the
amount of improved land per farm is
considerably less, the net returns are
greater than in sections for years de-
voted to grain farming. And this
greater return has been had without
sacrificing fertility The amount of
land to buy largely hinges upon the
settlers capital. To own a profitable
farm rather than large one is the
ambition of these men, many of whom
are making the production of livestock
a strong feature of their farming op-
erations. Further development of
northern Wisconsin is not so much a
matter of clearing the land from
stumps. Splendid forage crops are
being secured from land brushed off
and not stumped."
