T've been looking over the. prelim- | inary report of the census bureau on Connecticut agricultural _statistics. Some of the facts brought out are Quite interesting. Some are more than that—they are higbly suggestive. For instance, the bureau reports that thers are 26,431 farms in the state, with & total acreage of 2,176,000 acres. This Seems to be an average of about 87 acres to each farm, wWhich is & very sensible size. Considering the gen- eral character of Connecticut I think it is safe to say that there age more men who can't properly take care of 82 acres than there are men who can manage 83 acres. But in these very figures is to be found an illustration of how mislead- ing the talk of “averages” is when applied to individual cases. You see, there are some farms of an acre and some of over a thousand acres. Whei each,—-almost one-half of the whole | number. There are 228 farms of over 500 acres each,—40 of over a thousand acres. These big ranches unduly affect the averages which you get when you include them in the * In ‘the ten years between 1900 and 1910 there | Wwas an Increase of only about seven per cent. in the number of farms hav- ing less than 50 dcres, while there was AND EXPOSITION TESTS. food” constituents. That is, the prise went to the acre which would make the most beef or the most milk, when fed out. There were fifty-nine acres in the contest, and nine prizes were awarded,—five ‘on flint corn and four on dent corn. I'm not going to bore you with figures about the protein and carbohydrate content. ~The one fact that is of importance to us all is that not a single acre of dent corn guve as much beef or milk value as the poor- ent acre among. the five flint corn prize-winners. The average acre of filnt corn was equal to the msking of 1,065 pounds of beef, or 11,931 pounds of mitk: while the average acre of the best demt corns was equal to 1738 pounds of beef, or 8,903 pounds of milk. In percentage reckoning, the flint’ corn, as a beef and milk pro- ducer, was worth 34 per cent. more to the acre thun the best dent corn. Of ocourse, there's such a thing as a steer was fat, and when the milk- pail was running-ever full.

It is that I may win onc of the four prizes The Bulletin offers. The first three prizes are hard to win, T admit, and fortunate, indeed, ars they who win; but there is always the fourth prize.

There has been a decrease of 517 farms in the state since 1900 which is figur- ed to be a loss of 2 per cent., while ed to their holdings that number of adjoining places which have come into the market. But what gets me is,— what's become of those 136,000 acres of land? Acres don’t shrink when they change owners, nor evaporate and blow away. I think there ought to be a commission appointed to find out what's heppened to those 136,000 acres.
