The Growth of the west

Few persons, comparatively, have ac
adequate idea of the great growth of the
West. Only twenty FIVE years ago there
was no export Of any account. Take the
article of wheat alone, In 1888, sevenly.
eight bushels comprised the total expor,
from what has since become the greatest
grain market In the world In 1889, it
was 3,678 bushels in 1910, 1O.O0O bush.
els; in I84I, 10000; in 1912, $50 9O7
bushels; in I845, it first reached one
million OF bushels u; in l847,7 the export
exceeded 1000, 900 bushels. In 1851 and
1852, it again fell off to less than one
million OF bushels; but in 1868 it rose
