This paper is confined to a discussion on farming in two counties, Southland and Wallace. In this territory is comprised some 5,000 square miles of occupied land, which represents '7.8 per cent. of the Dominion total. In the Southland County there are 4,241 holdings averaging 476 acres, and in Wallace 1,514 averaging 793 acres. The combined figure of 5,755 holdings gives an indication of the number of farmers in the two counties.
