On Farming: s In the aiea we visited, we h saw farms ranging fnom 1,500 C acres ta 45,000 acres. There la ane property in Nortbern Australia wbich cavera about 150 square miles and is own- ed by the King Ranch of the United States. Because aio [ poor current world waol and i- wheat markets, somne farmers are atompting ta diversify. ' Ta Australians, a farmer is a tpersan who grows crops. There la a social status with the grazier at the top of the r ladder. Noîmaliy very weal-r tby persans, the graziens dress fdistinctly.
