The whole question rests upon the planning 

 and upon the methods of cultivation used. Prac- 

 tically no farm of large acreage yields as much as 

 the soil is capable of producing. That is due to 

 the fact that the land in large areas is not culti- 

 vated as it should be. So it is not as difficult a 

 problem to make two acres produce to the limit. 

 This is called "intensive farming". 



Although there are perhaps more small farms 

 in California than in other sections of the United 

 States, it does not necessarily mean that California 

 is the only state in which a two-acre farm will 

 succeed. The principal difference is that different 

 crops must be grown and different classes of live 

 stock raised on a small farm in different sections 

 of the country. 



Let us take, for example, the experience of a 

 doctor who gave up his practice to search for that 

 contentment we all so much desire. He moved onto 

 two acres near a small city and grew vegetables 

 for the early market. In addition to this he started 

 a rabbitry and is now making a comfortable living 

 by selling Belgian hares and early vegetables.
