White the value of farms and farm
buildings in this county have Increas-
ed tipring .the last decade, however,
the number of individual farms has
decreased 1941 per cent. in 1910
there were 4,225 farms In the county,
while to 1980 there were only 3387.
The total number of acres in farms in
the last cesnus was 556,665; In 1910
It was 610368. The total number of
acres of Improved land shown by th»
tost emeus was 283,568; In 1919 it
Jit was 256,701.
I The percentage of farms operated
by tenants is very near the same as
ten years ago. In 1910 the number
ot ©rath farms operated by tenants
was 2,037 and the number operated
by owners and managers was 2,168.
In 1920 the number operated by ten-
ants was 1,684 and the number oper-
ated by owners and managers waa
1.703.
Farms reporting domestic animals
in 1910 numbeiod 4,115, while In 1920
thor» were 3 306 But while the
number of farms in the county on
which dome*tic animals were raised
or kept was larger to 1910 than to
1920. the number of animals on the
whole was as great or greater last
census than before, the change front
the 1910 census as shown In the 1980
census being a* follows: Horses,
8.803 to 8.476; mules, 6.0S1 to 5349;
cattle. 26.615 to 29.488; sheep, 511 to
3326; swine, 9,647 to 8,914. goats,
669 to 1.737
In addition to this the esnstss bu
resu calls attention to the fact that
the figures for domestic animals to
1919 are not very closely corn parable
with those tor 1920. since the present
meantt# was taken in January, before
the breeding s#a«on Had began, while
the 1910 census was taken In April,
pr about th,. middle of the breeding
•season, and included tustty sprtoff
eaJve*. colts, etc.
One of themost interesting compar-
isons given in the figure# for this
county is that of the cotton crops,
the census showing that In 1909 there
were 127,003 acres In cotton which
produced Jl.26* hales, wfill# to 1919
there were only 63365 acre* in cot-
ton. and the production wa* 19,738
