State Farms Fewer
Now, But Larger

Delaware's farms are growing
fewer, bigger and more expensive,
according to the Census Bureau.
The bureaus preliminary report
on it's 1859 census of agriculture
shows the number of farms de-
clined by 1,09O-a II per cent drop
between 1854 and 1859.
. But meanwhile, the average
farm increased from 129 to 143
acres and it's value, including land
and buildings, jumped from $18.-
$50 to $32,554. Rising real estate
costs sent farmland prices from
$153 an acre in 1854 to $3.50 last
year.
The number of farm operators
declined with the number of farms,
from 6,297 in 1854 to 5,207 in 1859.
OF these, 1873 per cent were ten
ants, a slight rise in five years
time.
The average age of Delaware
farm operator is unchanged since
1954-51 years.
AS in most of the country, few
er farmers are harvesting more
acres. There were 5,494 harvested
acres in Delaware last year-up
more than 5000 since 1854. Owner
ship of grain combines, corn pick
ers, tractors, and trucks showed
increases.
Poultry farms outnumbered all
other types, producing 100000
chickens last year, of which TO-
100000 were broilers.
Part of the decline in the number
of farms resulted from a change
in the Census Bureaus definition
of farm. In 1854, any patch of land
on which more than $50 worth of
produce was raised and sold was
considered a farm. Now, a unit of
less than 10 acres must sell at least
$3.50 worth of produce to qualify
as a farm. This re-definition elm
mated 199 places from the 1859 sta
tistics that would otherwise be
considered farms.

only means we have Of coping
with some Of the situations that
arise in our lives, and that 1t has
been proven over and over again
that Prayer Really Changes
Things.
