of the fact that more land is under cultivation' in the county than there was four years ago there are fewer farms and the average size of the farm is larger Farm people have found that can no longer the children divide the homestead and go on thus divided it Land farming in the past is now being put back together because the high cost of modern farm machinery the owner of small prohibits acreage from owning enough to The investment in operate in most cases even on large farms has now become greater than the investment in the land At the same time one man does a far greater amount of work with modem machinery than his father did and so must have more acres to work upon Our young people now must le educated to go into other activities than farming in far greater numbers than was the case
