1850 Count Shows
Fewer Farms

q MONTANA HAS 81, 036 farms and
ranches now as compared to 37,747
in 1915 and 41.823 in 1910, according
to preliminary figures from the 1850
census of agriculture Wyoming fig
ures for the same years are 1854
lS,O76 and 1903 respectively.
These reductions are in line with
the trend for the entire nation. Cen
sus Bureau Director Roy ". Peel an
nounced that the tentative count for
the nation is 5,379,O4S a drop Of
about 8 percent since 1910.
In the west where most units are
large the major factor contributing
to the reduction has been the trend
toward combining farms and ranch
holdings. Another lesser factor is the
change in definition used in the 1850
census.
To be counted as farm:
|. In 1850, places Of three Or more
acres had to have produced in the
preceding year agricultural products
with a value of $3.50 or more, apart
rom home garden products; in
earlier counts, producing any farm
products, apart from a small home
garden, was sufficient.
2. In 1850, places of less than three
acres had to have sold $3.50 or more
m agricultural products; in previous
counts, they needed only to have
raised products Of value of $3.50 or
more, without regard to sales.
Comparisons Of 1850 and 1915
numbers by counties are listed be-
