FARMS:
I.3 Per Cent Idle

A total Of 76,704 farms with an
acreage of 6,484, 292 lay idle in the
United States when the decennial
census was taken in 1910. The num-
Der represented 1.3 per cent Of all
farms in the country.
New England and the Middle
Atlantic states showed the greatest
percentage Of abandonments, with
one out of every 20 farms idle. This
compared with Iowa's report of one
out Of every 1000.
Abandoned farms averaged IS
acres against the 174 acres for op-
Grating tracts. Depleted soil and
crop failures accounted for one-third
Of the vacancies, and there were
many departures for employment in
industry.
Almost 81 million acres Of land
lay idle on producing farms, census
figures also showed.

tries put on $4,000 workers recent
ly, total employment was only
$4,000 more than in May Of this
year. Since May, the construction
industry has laid off $4,000 men.
The war department said failure

only the army as a reservoir of
men with the requisite skills for the
pits. The new labor recruits, how
ever, will only be allowed to work

declared they would open a pres
sure campaign for his removal from

ton to push current prices back.
