county assessor’s report in 1910 plac-

the 1920 report shows that only 771
farms were listed for taxation pur-

age farm the above figures show that
170 people left the farm for the city

the 771 farms in the county 372 were
owned by the farmers and 399 rent-
ed. This fact proves out the fact that
