Chicago, May :2S.--The face of agri
culture in the middle and scuth west,
the chief farming section of the coun
try, has undergone some remarkable
changes in the past ten years, it Is
shown by roports from state agricul
tural authoritios gathered here.
The decade is indicated as one of
the1 imiost momentous that have passed
over Americani a g ricult 11 res. im
proved m1ethods of farming are giv

In s omle states production of their
old time crops has fallen off as atten

fore here and there. In several
states the character of farming has
almost been made over.
Texas has forged to the front until
Its agricultural chiefs claim more
wheat grown there than in some other
states where wheat is well nigh the
princ ial crop. They declare their
grape fruit and oranges, grown in the
I Rio Grande Valley, equal to the best.
In wheat, Kansas, wilich holds the
lead, has -increased Its acreage near
ly 100 per cent in 'the last ten years.
The increase is 4,196,000 acres. Ok
lahoma, which last year stood fourtfh
in wheat production, mcantine in
creased Its pla'nting by 1,33-1,000
acres. Iowa, the banner corn state,
enlarged its wheat crop 58 per cent.
On the othet hailnd Miniesota which
stood second in spring wheat last
year cut its wheat productIon 26 iper
cent in the ten years, while North Da
kota. viich stoodl first in spriing wlheat
in 1920, also record(Ied a reduction to
make way for other crops.

000 acres from its corn planting. Ok
lahoma, which likewise sa-w greater
advantages for itself in wheat, cut its
corn acreage by 2,582,000 acres. No
braska, which stood third in corn pro
duction last year, slightly reduced its
acreage in the decade, and Missouri,
which stood fourth, cut off 1,285,000
acres.
Meantime lowa was enlarging its
corn production 12 per cent. Minne
sota juinped its corn yield 90 per cent.
South Dakota made one of its cier
advances in corn production.
Wisconsin is reported changing in
the decadc from a grain growing state
to a leading dairy state.
Michigan made notable strides in
the livestock industry as Iowa, South
Dakota, Indiana and other states.
Many farmers have been enabled to
go on a basis of 12 moilths' 'produc
tion instead of only through the grow
Ing season, it is reported for instance
from South Dakota, m-here diversilled
farming as in Arkana aid elsewhere
has made great progress in tenl years.

Ing to a compromise agreement be
tween the county highway conmis
sion and the Southern Railmay, at an
angle of about 65 degrees. Tio con
mission asked for a 45 degree angle
bridge and the railway insisted on
constructing it at .a 90 degree angle.
The agreement upon the compromise
angle wa; reached at a recent con
forence between County Engineer B.
R. Cowherd and railroad officials. -
The approaches to the 'bridge have
not yet been completed 1but work on
them will begin at once, it is stated.
The completion of the bridge and'ap
proaches will rem'ove the last gan. in
the i111xio Highway tetween Green

a dangerous railroad crossing.
