THE TEN-ACRE FARM SCHEME.
The "Yorkshire Weekly Post" of Mav ."51 gives an account of a visit of fourteen British ALP. s to Denmark as guests of the Danish Government. On his return Mr. Gibson, M.P. for Pudsey, said that whereas the farming in England had been depressed for some years, the Danish farmers had had a wonderful run of prosperity. A year ago times changed, however, and now Danish fanners were sending some of their produce to England at a loss simply to retain the market. The average size of the farms in Denmark is from 00 to 100 acres, Mr. Gibson remarked, and the standard of life on such farms appeared to be higher than in England. The small holdings of 22 acres arc an exception to the general run or farmi-'(prosperity in Denmark. They have not been a success. The Danes have arrived at the conclusion that such a small acreage cannot be worked profitably", and in their view o0 acres of land is the minimum from which a farmer and his family can get profitable results.
