Acreage of individual farms
has increased, but the • number
of farms has declined steadily
since 1931 in the Atlantic, Cen-
tral. and Prairie region s.
Throughout the country the
number of occupied farms
dropped" from 728,664 in 1931 to
575,015 in 1956. . Economists
agree that the 1961 census will
show a further decline in the
number of occupied farms.
The average farm size has in-
creased steadily from 224 acres
in 1931 to 302 acres in 1856.
Capital invested in farm busi-
nesses jumped from $4.5 billion
in 1935 to about $11.4 billion
in 1959, an increase of 253.3 per
cent.
Farmers in 1935 had $3.4 bil-
lion invested in land and build-
ings, $0.5 billion in livestock and
$0.5 billion in farm machinery.
In 1959 -they -ha.
invested in land --and buildings,
$2 billion in livestock, and $2.2
billion in farm machinery.
The average total investment
per farm was up from , $6,386
million in 1947' t a whopping
$19 million in 195 .
The agriculture labor force
has- declined steadily in the past
10 years. In 1939 • it stood at
1,379,000, but by 1959 it halt
dropped. to 724,000. As a per-
centage of the total Canadian
civilian labor force it has de-
clined from- 36.4 per cent in
1933 to only 12.4 per cent in
1959.
Canadian farmers are feeding
mord people. ' In 1940 one farm
worker "supported" about 10
people, but in 1959 he "support-
ed" as many as 27, "an achieve-
ment," say the ,authors, "which,
clearly reflects the rapid pro-
gress of our agriculture."
In 1959 alone, Canadian,, farm-
ers paid $142,569,000 in taxes
and another $184,364,000 •in
wages. They spent $348,561,000
for feed and seed purchased
through 'market channels, $19,-
428,000 for electric power and
$128,923,000 for miscellaneous
items ,including veterinary fees,
binder and • baler twine, irriga-
tion charges, fence repairs, salt,
11d -so -forth .
"The chief characteristic. of
what many people call -.the agri-
cultural revolution ofthe post-
war era," conclude the authors,
"is the ability of an ever:de-
creasing number of farmst, to
produce an ever- increasing
quantity of products of higher
quality to Teed the people of
Canada, and 'of other countries:"
