Farm Growth Across Decades Defies Urban Rise Claim
Mr. Le Grand Powers reports farm numbers surged 1890 to 1900 nearly as much as 1870 to 1880. U.S. farms rose from 1,564,641 in 1890 to about 5,700,000 in 1900 with gains spread across regions from the North Atlantic to the West. The increase results from subdivision of Southern estates and new settlements, with total farm wealth rising by about 2.5 billion dollars in the last decade.
