FEWER FARMERS, LESS
ACREAGE, YIELD GAINS
Notwithstanding Loss In ManpOWer
The Crop Yields Show Increases

One of the interesting develop
ments of agriculture in the United
States today is that fewer farmers
with less labor, on fewer acres, con-
tinue to increase production.
In the past four years agricultural
production has average about 16 per
cent more than in 1919-1922, due
chiefly to better farming. The far
mer knows more about his soils and
the plants and animals with which
he deals. He is in better position to
combat pests and to apply his labor
more efficiently so as to secure lar
ger returns in volume of production
per unit of labor or capital employ
ed. He is using more fertilizer; ex-
penditnres for fertilizer in 1924 were
more than double those for 1909.
The farmer is feeding his live
stock better, as indicated by an in
crease in feed purchases. He bought
on the average, nearly 20 per cent
more feed ia 1924 than in 1909. He
is learning not only better to feed
his land and his livestock, but also
to breed and feed better animals,
says the department.

Discard Nominating Candidates For
County Office At Primaries

After being in session for an hour
Kent County Democrats on Tuesday

plan of nominating county otncers
on the ticket instead of naming them

plan at that time but it was consid-
cred best to call a County Conven-
tion SO that more people might ex-
press their views. -,
Under the new plan, officers Will
be nominated as they were seVeral
years ago. Delegates will be elected
n fhe County Convention and these
delegates as a whole will nominate
county officers while the delegates
from the respective districts will
nominate the officers who are to be
voted for by those districts.
