On Less Farms
Census Bureau Reports Rise
In Midwest Planting as
Homesteads Drop.

WASHINGTON. - Farmers in the
Midwest, the major agricultural
region of the United States, are cul,
tivating $1,000, 900 more acres than
five years ago, but the actual num-
Der of farms is decreasing, the
1945 agricultural census taken by
the bureau of census, department of
commerce, showed recently.
The farm acreage in the II great
livestock and grain-producing North
Central states has grown to 263, $780,
379 acres since 1910 in the 684
counties so far reported out of 1,056,
a gain of 4 per cent, the bureau
said.
However, there are 49,096 fewer
farms in the region including ILL
nois, Indiana, Michigan, Ohio, Wis
consin, Iowa, Kansas, Minnesota,
Missouri, Nebraska and North and
South Dakota. This is a decrease of
3.8 per cent from the 1888, 1857 farms
reported five years ago.
Thus the average size of farms
increased 81 per cent from 1857 to
2ll.6 acres.
Larger Farms.
The increased size of farms is at
tributed by census officials partly
to the absorption of smaller farms,
largely because the North Central
states have extensive farm lands
planted in crops favorable to mech
anized farming, and somewhat be-
cause of the shortage of farm man.
power.
The greatest decrease in the num-
Der of farms was in Michigan. A
loss of 1852 farms, or a decline Of
IL per cent from 1910, was reported
in Al counties of the 83.
South Dakota counties showed the
greatest increase in farm acreage,
an addition of more than $500, 900
acres, or a gain of 10 per cent.
Percentages of decrease in the
number of farms and increase in
farm acreage, respectively, for the
other states, follow:
Iowa, 0.5 and 10; Kansas, sc and
80; Minnesota, 3.3 and IT; Mis-
souri,, % and 4.8; Nebraska, 60
and LIS; North Dakota, So and 80;
Illinois, 3.3 and 1.9; Indiana, "a and
IA; Ohio, 81 and 0.3; Wisconsin,
AZ and 80.
Acreage Increased.
Nationally, in the 1000 counties
reported out of 1907, the num-
Der of farms declined by Al, 702 or

Calls on Juneauifes to Go Over Top in E" Bonds
 10 End War on Japs

With a brief resume of our coun- try's wartime 4th of Julys, Mayor Ernest Parsons in a patriotic ad- dress at the Ball Park yesterday, spoke of the necessity of carrying through from war to peace, and when peace is finally achieved, of protecting that peace with national strength and complete preparedness against aggressors who threaten the peace of our country.
 We are naturally q people If goodwill" he said, but goodwill alone has never proved sufficient to protect cur peace-loving nation against such events as Pearl liar bor. Our goodwill must always be backed up by the means to prevent such events, and the world knows we have the means always at cur disposal. Then, and only then, we will have peace"
 Mayor Parsons concluded with an appeal for Juneauites, and Alaskans to go lover the top" in the mighty 7th War Loan drive, mentioning the launching of the new cruiser Juneau which replaces the first gallant cruiser Juneau, lost in action on her first cruise. This is one more req son, the Mayor said, for Alaskans tc do their part toward bringing ar early end to the war in the Pacific by putting everything possible into the buying of bonds.

Under a clear sky, the sun shmlng and with just a light breeze prevail ing which fluttered the carried flags, hundreds of Juneauites gathered on the down town streets yesterday forenoon to watch the traditional Fourth of July parade which moved up Franklin Street to Front Street, along Front to Main Street, down to Willoughby Avenue and out to Fire mems Park.

 The Rev. Robert Treat, Scout master, marched next in line with the five dens of the Cub Pack.
 Following in colorful regalia were boys and girls of all ages with ap- propriately decorated bikes, carts and even racing bugs portraying cnly too well the beauty and talent of Juneau3 children.
 , Popular with the kiddies were the three fire trucks of the Juneau Vol untcer Fire Department, with ire men in their working uniforms and children throwing candy to the crowds lining the streets.
 The Elks' float, which won first rrize. was beautifully decorated in purple, yellow and orange paper with a large clock on each side with the hands pointing to II o'clock.
 The Pioneers of Alaska float, driv- en by MT and Mrs. w. O. Carlson, was cleverly covered with purple lupine. which, with the green of the stems and leaves, made colorful appearance.
 Several Royal Blue cabs brought up the rear of the parade with signs cn each side of the doors reading "Our decoration is Our Bonds and signed by the name of the cab driver.
 One of the highlights of the parade was large Army plane circling over the marchers and rep resenting the air power on this mo- mentous day.
 Everyone enjoyed themselves im- mensely with children scrambling for the candy and proud parents watching their children march in their colorful costumes. Even the weather smiled during the parade. ! Prizes were awarded at the Ball Park to the participants of the parade, as follows.
