In each county the number 1s a re- duction from those recorded by pre- vious counts, Burleigh having had 1,875 in 1920 and 1,245 in 1925 while ae had 1,910 in 1920 and 1,873 in 25. Acreage under cultivation reached new peaks, however, as the size of the average farm increased. In 1920 Bur- leigh county had 759,352 acres under cultivation and the average farm had 552.3 acres. In 1925 these figures had fallen to 647,587 and 520.2 acres per farm but in 1930 the record showed 856,933 acres under cultivation and 640.5 acres in the average farm. In 1920, Morton county had 1,088,- 198-acres under cultivation; in 1925 the figure was 1,036,669 and in 1930 it was 1,124,430, Acres in the average farm were 569.7, 553.5 and 607.5, re- spectively, for the periods mentioned. The value of land and buildings dropped sharply from 1920 to 1925 but increased during the last five-year period. Bureligh county figures were $22,106,809, $14,056,301 and $15.944,556, respectively, while Morton county showed $25,220,548, $20,825,210 and $22,098,207 for the same period. The same trend holds in the aver- age value of land and buildings. Bure leigh county figures being $16,078, $11,290 and $11,917 while the Morton county figures are $13,204, $11,119 and $11,939. ‘The average value per acre, how- ever, has dropped steadily. Burleigh county figures being $29.11, $21.71 and $18.61 and Morton county figures be- ing $23.18, $20.09 and $19.65. ‘The percentage of acres farmed by tenants is much higher in Burleigh than in Morton, the records show, al- though the percentage of tenantry has increased in about the same pro- Portion since 1920 in each county. Data for 1920 show 1,048 Burleigh county farms operated by owners, 13 by managers and 314 by tenants, with the acreage farmed placed at 482,074, 19,180 and 158,138, respectively. In 1930, however, there were 810 owners, seven managers and 521 ten- ants farming 558,086, 16,404 and 282,- 443 acres respectively. In 1920, Morton county had 1,576 farm owners, 12 managers and 322 tenants, farming 907,953, 14,340 and 165,905 acres, respectively. By 1930 this situation had changed to 1,356 owners, five managers and 490 tenants, farming 871,116, 4,350 and 248,964 acres, respectively. In each county, the increase in the size of the farms is largely due to the acquisition of land by farm operators increasing their holdings, ‘he data show. The most notable gtcrease is’ in the number of farms of more than 500 acres. That diversification’ has, in the main, made little progress and that tractors are replacing horses as mo- tive power is disclosed by other sta- tistics. In 1920, Burleigh county had 16,672 horses, 85 mules, 35,200 beef cattle, 9,360 milk cows, 8,210 hogs and 78,121 chickens but by 1930 it had only 10,- 010 horses, 140 mules, 26,692 beef cat- tle, 8,519 milk cows, 9,307 hogs and —_—_—_—_—_—"!"__ hogs and 119,246 chickens. the census 628 cattle, 13,735 milk cows, 10,708 2 Sentenced to Hang For Calgary Murder Calgary, Alta., March 19—(?)—Mike Radko and Bertram Jones were sen- tenced Wednesday to be hanged for the murder of Ernest Midwinter, Calgary taxi driver, last August.

Army Pilot Is Lost Off Colombian Coast Washington, D. C., March 19—(7)— Sharp-eyed searchers Thursday look- ed for a flier who disappeared while taking part in naval war games off the Colombian ‘coast. Officials here said the search would continue until Chief Aviation Pilot Verne Warren Harshaman was found or hope abandoned.
