Chap, III. Agricultural Pursuits 

 Part I. General Status of Agriculture 



§1. Number of Agricultural Workers. In 18 8 0 over one-half of all 

 workers in Indiana were farmers, but in 1910 less than one-third of 

 all workers were so engaged. 



In 1880, 522 of every 1,000 workers, or over one-half, were farmers. 

 As a result of the increased numbers in other occupations, in 1890 only 

 460 were farmG^-s ; in 1900, 392, and in 1910, 322, or less than one-third of 

 all workers. 



In 1910, 381 of each 1,000 male workers and 57 of each 1.000 female 

 workers in Indiana were engaged in the agricultural pursuits. 



§2. Number of Farms and Extent of Farm xlcreage. There were 

 6,412 fewer farms in Indiana in 1910 than in 1900.
