Few Farms But More Efficient Farm Production Rises Steadily Farms are getting bigger, few er and more efficient, reports the U S. census bureau. The average farm grew from 174 to 2104 acres between 1940 and 1950, the census figures show. Dur ing this decade, the actual number of farms decreased by 713.000. About 870.000 fewer persons worked on farms in 1950 than in 1940. Meanwhile, farm production has been rising steadily. Between 1940 and 1950, corn production increased

During the ll-year period from 1940 to 1950, the overage farm in the Vnlted States grew from 174 acres to 2H'i acres yet the actual number of farms decreased by 713,000. by 673,803,000 bushels; wheat by 212.109.000 bushels; oats. 218.684." 000 bushels; and soybeans 1.792.000 bushels. Four factors have helped bring about these crop production in creases, says the Middle West Soil Improvement committee: (1) high er yielding, disease resistant new crop varieties; (2) increased use of commercial fertilizer containing nitrogen, phosphate and potash: i >3) more mechanization of farm [ work which enables a man to do more in fewer hours; <4> greater realization by farmers of the need for building and maintaining the soil's fertility level. Higher crop yields mean a great er drain on the soil's fertility re sources.
