Congressmen Say Inflation Greater Enemy Than Russia Haywood Farms Becoming Larger, Survey Reveals The number of farms in Haywood county dropped from 2.891 to 2.784 between 1945 and 1950, according to the 1950 census of Agriculture. This ranks Haywood 67th in the state in the percentage of increase or decrease. The County Agent's office at tributes this to two principal fac tors. One is that many farmers have bought farms adjoining theirs cultivating them as one. so that number of farms is lower, at the 41 U Clin nf iarh farm is same wine me j greater. The post-war increase in the availability ot iraciors other farm machinery has enabled j one man to take care ot a gre.i" acreage tbn previously. The aver age Haywood farm totals about 55 acres. ' , i n..cm is the increas- lng emphasis locally on dairy and . beef cattle. In the survey, live stock farming is noted as requir ing more land than does intensive cash crop agriculture. More than twice as much of the average Hay wood farm is devoted to pasture than is cultivated. The two mil lion dollar beef enterprise and the $750,000 dairy industry accounted in 19i0 for more than half the county's cash farm income. The largest single crop item was to bacco, which brought in about a million dollars. R. P. Christensen of the U. S. Department of Agriculture com ments that "farming throughout the South has been shifting more and more to a livestock basis." He predicts that most of the additional of the South's livestock pro duction will be consumed in the South. By W.
