Although the average size of farm
acres
smaller than in 1870, more intensive
higher
field crops
farms produced 60
years ago, according to records of the
State Department of Agriculture.
The average size of the Pennsylva-
nia farm today is 81.3 acres. In 1870,
the farms averaged 103.4 acres in
size.
The average farm at present is
producing 112 bushels of wheat, 129
bushels of potatoes and 764 bushels
of feed crops. In 1870, their produc
tion despite greater acreage, was
only 111 bushels of wheat, 70 bushels
| of potatoes and 674 bushels of feed
crops, as an average. This represents
a gain of one bushel of wheat, 59
bushels of potatoes and 90 bushels of
feed crops for the smaller but more
intensively cultivated farm of today.
One of the reasons i sthat present
day farms are devoting a greater
| proportion of their acreage to active
cultivation. Now approximately one-

AFTER CHRISTMAS
Twas the night after Xmas, when old Uncle Zeke,
While Sis and her friends were out with the boys.
The stockings were pulled from the chimney before
The tree that was trimmed was a terrible sight
There was nothing upon it that hung there last night.
Mother was trying to think what to do
Please, mother dear, do throw them away.
I reached the back door in less than one stride
Unlocked the door and opened it wide.
The moon had gone down, it was dark as could be,
Try as I would not a thing could I see,
I called out to mother, “Bring me a lamp.”
It was then that we saw a crusty old tramp.
He was dressed all in rags from his head to his feet,
A sicht to behold and unpleasant to meet,
It made us both shudder when we looked at him.
The crumbiest tramp we ever did see,
His shoes were all busted and so was his shirt.
His hands and his face were covered with dirt,
His big flabby chops hung down to his neck,
And his mouth was the biggest I ever saw yet,
His nose was all red, and bent in a bow,
His coat had no buttons, his belt was a rope,
His hair was all matted, and stuck thru his hat,
His voice was sure husky and awfully cracked.
Also “I'm thirsty and no place to sleep,”
“Any old thing I'd be glad for,” he said,
Like a flash a thought struck me, I turned with a jerk,
Called the bum in and offered the turk,
He looked first at mother, then at the floor,
He leaped over fences, my how he could run,
You wouldn't believe it was in the same bum,
In less than a minute he flew out of sight,
And now for two weeks I'll eat turkey I guess,
I heard the bum say as he drew out of sight
+ “I've had thirty-five offers of turkey tonight.”

and turck gardens, improved land in
pastures and all other improved land
not devoted to raising the principal
field crops. The amount of land de-
voted to the principal field crops has
increased from 6,256,000 to 7,056,000
acres since 1870; while in the same
period improved land not used for the
chief field crops decreased from
5.260.000 to 3,073,000 acres. In the
average sized farm, the amount of
land not under active cultivation has
decreased from 30.3 to 15.3 acres in
that time. In the same period the
amount of unimproved land in the av-
erage farm has decreased 6.4 acres.
The increase in. improved acreage |
under cultivation, however, does not
entirely account for the increased pro- |
duction. Some of the leading crops
now yield a greater crop from the |
same acreage as in 1870, while he |
wheat production has increased des- |
pite a decrease in acreage seeded to |

“CATERPILLAR” PRICE
ARE GREATLY REDUCED
In response to the recent request
from President Hoover, that wher- |
ever possible, construction work be
started and continued in an effort to
overcome possible depressions which
might follow the recent stock mar-
ket crash, Caterpillar Tractor Com-
pany, of Peoria, Illinois, have done
their part by reducing prices on all
models of tractors, road machines, |
and Holt Combined Harvesters. All
machines manufactured by this
company are labor saving machines
and the price reduction makes it
possible for more now to own them
and perform more work per man.
The recent price reductions now
make it possible for the manufac-
turer, farmer, logger, contractor,
borough, city, township, or county,
to secure for himself the advantag-
es of non-slip traction as furnished
by the ground gripping tracks of
the famous “Caterpillar” tractor.
Since Caterpillar Tractor Com-
pany purchased the interests of the
Russell Grader Manufacturing Com-
pany, numerous economies have
been affected in the manufacture

[of the nowy famous “Caterpillar”
| Graders by the introduction of Cat-
| erpillar’s own mass
| methods, and the economies are re-
| price reduc-
{ tions. Certainly if prices of labor
| saving machines are reduced, more
| may own them, labor on a ‘particu-
| lar job will be released for work on
| another job, more work may be in
progress with resulting prosperity
|to all. Each day many are calling
lat the office and warehouse of the
| local dealer, Barnard Tractor and
Equipment Company, 15th & May-
| flected in the recent
| Aower Streets, Harrisburg, Penna.,
| according to W. F. Barnard. Some
| are curious and for the first time
| see these history-making machines;
{some come to study them with a
| view to determining how such odd-
{ looking machines would perform on
their farm, logging operation, road
job, factory, or township road;
some come to buy and some come
to get copies of interesting book-
{lets which show these machines
working in all lands and under all
! conditions.
