Show SOUND FARM PROGRAM. North Dakota Agricultural college shows that the state has reduced re-duced its grain acreage 2,733,000 acres since 1919, last year's acreage acre-age being 8,402,000 acres. The College survey shows that diversified diver-sified farming has absorbed almost all the decreased grain acreage; dairying, hogs, flax, potatoes, corn, tame hay, feed crops. The College reports says that this is the result of a determined effort of the fa rmer to better his condition, and that it is markedly sucessful. Without national wheat legislation, the farmers are solving their own problem of better returns and are doing it on a business basis rather than on a legislated make-shift foundation. |
