Investigations show that well-ar.. ranged fields and farms generally produce crops at a lower cost price than where no particular system of field management is carried out. Well-arranged farms also bring al higher price upon the market, par-' ticularly where the fields have easy access to the farm buildings or to highways. The arrangement of many farms is due to accident, a field here and there being laid out as the for- ests were cleared away. Many were laid out when farm work was done with hand implements and small fields were no disadvantage at that time. '" CAN " OTTAWA (B-U - - ___ fl as; L-lk Laying, Aside All new. .
