This is, of course, a mathematical corollary of tho fact that the farm acrenge increased fast er than tho number of farms. It has already been pointed out. however, that the additions to the farm acreage Included large tracts of unimproved land in the Western states, used as grazing farms. While this has materially affected the av erage size of farms for tho country ns a whole, in the older portions or the country there nre no indications of any general movement toward a con solidation of farms, or of any tenden cy on the part of farmers toward the cultivation of larger farms. In the northern states east of tin T 4 Mississippi there was no very marked change in tho size of farms: Massa chusetts, rtliodo Island. Pennsylvania 4- New Jersey, Ohio, Indiana ai d I'll nois showed a slight diminution In the average farm area, while tho other states in this region showed a slight Increase. In the southern statos i,i-t o1' it Mississippi, on tho other hand, the increase in the number of farms far exceeded the Increase in farm area and consequently the average size 01 farms was materially diminished Only one-half of the total farm acreage in 1000 was reported ns lm proved, but this represents a gain over 18!)0 of 57.17G.43G acres. Most of the Increase In the crop-producing area of the country was contributed by the states of the Middle West, the greatest extension being shown in Minnesota, whoro the Increase during the decade exceeded 7,000,000 acres. Increases of between 4,000,000 and 5, 000,000 acres were reported for Iowa, North Dakota and Oklahoma. On the other hand, in many states the area of Improved farm land was smaller in 1P00 than In 1890. A de crease Is shown in all the North At lantic states, especially in No v En? land. This is due principally to n change In the kind of farming carrl,l on in those states; the raising o? corn and wheat for the market, having become comparatively unpiofitable under the influence of Western competition, has been largely superseded by dairy farming and market gardening. In these pursuits, which are, of course, stimulated by tne proximity of a largo urban population, the East ern farmer apparently finds It to Ills advantage to cultivate less land than he once did, but to cultivate It more intensively. Accordingly, the less fer tile lands, and the meadow lands that cannot be mown with machines, have in many cases been converted Into permanent pastures. The Increased average fertility of the land retained under cultivation, the use of the silo and the growing tendency to cultivate corn and forage crops, instead of hay, for winter food, are all factors which contribute to the same end enabling the farmer to raise on a smaller area the winter feed for the animals that can be kept, during the summer, on the enlarged area of pasture land.
