continues the number of farms also de creased during the same ten- year period mr fair noted from 3900 in 1941 to 3300 in 1951 mr fair attributed the 600- farm drop to two factors 1 absorption of land

ago the farmers who left the land mostly migrated into in dustry mr fair said and the trend in agriculture now is toward larger farms while the number of farms and farmers diminished in on tario
