Farmers deserting farms threaten New York land value
The secretary of agriculture warns that more farms and intelligent farming are needed as thousands of American agriculturists quit for Canada. The piece cites 12,000 leaving between 1909 and 1910 and 425,460 settling in Canada over 13 years, urging immigrant European farmers as a remedy. It laments abandoned lands across central, northern, and western New York and calls for reclaiming the land through renewed farming.
