Land occupied by fences A considerable area of crop land is made untillable by fences. On the fifty-three farms included in these studies, the total area of general crop. Fig. 119. a stone row that functions as a fence only in wasting land and in forming A barrier to cultivation This stone row occupies a strip of land 20 feet wide. Land here is worth $100 an acre land thus made untillable amounted to acres. Part of this is neces- sary and unavoidable, but a considerable proportion is neither necessary nor desirable under present conditions (figs. 119 and 120). The proportion of the land occupied by fences depends on the size of the farm, the size of the crop fields, the kind of fence, and the crops grown. While the large farms, among those studied, were more completely fenced, a smaller pro- portion of their area was occupied by fences, as is shown in table 17. The data given in table 18 relate to the land made untillable by fences around crop fields. Fences between pasture fields or orchards occupy.
