Smaller Farms the Rule in a Growing Nation
The article argues that splitting large farms into smaller holdings aids national progress by enabling more intensive, efficient farming. It notes advantages of small tracts, outlines the risks of land hunger and land-poor estates, and extols improvements, fences, wells, windmills, and better labor and management for higher yields per acre. It contrasts 640 acre estates with forty acre plots, highlighting social benefits of condensed farming and the dangers of excessive land ownership.

Wisconsin farmers hopeful of record crop yields this year
Pro R A Moore of the Wisconsin College of Agriculture proclaims the state will enjoy historic crop yields. Hay and grain crops are strong, though discolored grain may sell for feed rather than market. Corn, silage and rye show excellent progress and seed corn is urged to be dried promptly. Potato crops suffer from recent rains, while fall seeding and high quality Pedigree rye improve potential yields.
