16 INTENSIVE FARMING 



Intensive results demand greater investment 

 in land, equipment, and oversight. Intensive 

 farming, except on the most limited scale, re- 

 quires a greater expenditure for manures and 

 seeds than is ordinarily provided, a more com- 

 plete equipment of implements, larger outlay 

 for packages and containers, and higher priced 

 oversight. Intensive farming is not restricted 

 to fruit growing and gardening as is too often 

 supposed, but can be applied to nearly all sys- 

 tems of mixed farming. Intensive farming has 

 for its object the most complete utilization of 

 the soil and the production of maximum yields.
