North Carolina's small farms are '.getting smaller, . while the! big ones are getting bigger. Take Wayne County. The lat est Agricultural ' Census shows that the number of farms with dined in number from 1,210 in 1954 to 723 in 1919. ,.In the same time, the number of farms with 50 to 99 acres of cropland rose from 495 to 611; with 100 to 149 acres, from 67 to 121; with 200 to 499 acres, from five to 18.

"One farmer can add 20 per cent more land without increas-? ing his cost 20 per cent," he s says. ' - . . e In 1949, Wayne County had 4,915 farm units. There were 4,588 in 1954.
