      Decline of the Farm:
      . About 1872 agricultural prices began to decline, & that trend continued until the late 1890s. For farmers with mortgages the situation was an impossible one, as they tried to service their debts with declining incomes. Even those who were debt free had a tough time. Their only course to stay afloat was to become more & more efficient & productive. Many could not find ways to cope. During the 1880s some farmers simply gave up, & walked away from their farms. At one point in the 1880s, one farm in 3 in Erin & West Garafraxa was abandoned.
