Vermont phÅ“nix. [volume] (Brattleboro, Vt.) 1834-1955, 1885-05-08

It will be seen that the per capita valuation
of property in Vermont exceeds that in all
the other states in the above table. Several
of the above states have the advantage of
Vermont in the comparison, because they
have large cities where wealth concentrates,
as st. Louis st. Paul, Milwaukee. Detroit,
etc. The population of Vermont is almost
entirely rural, the state having no town of
more than Il, 600 inhabitants, and only four
towns of more than 5000. Not including
Ohio, there are but two western states that
exceed Vermont in the per- cdpitd valuation of
property. Iowa has per capita valuation of
1871, or one dollar more than Vermont. ILL
nois, agriculturally the richest aud most pro-
ductive of all the states, has per capita val
uation of $lOO5. This is no doubt largely
increased by the wealth concentrated in the
city of Chicago, and it is doubtful if the far.
mers even in this most fertile state average
much, if any, Weather than the farmers of
Vermont.
The figures given above are from the esti-
mated true valuations, which are much larger
than the assessed valuations. The property
assessed for purposes of taxation in the New
England states, as given in the census report
averaged S66l to each person, and in the
western states not including the territories
1894.
The aggregate value of all the products of
agriculture in each state, divided by the whole
number in each state occupied as agricultu-
rists, gives the average value of all farm pro-
ductons to each farmer or person engaged in
agriculture and is fair test for comparing
the profits of farming in the different states.
The average value of all farm products to
each person engaged in agriculture in Yer.
mont and in the western states, as shown by
the census of 1870 and the census of 1880, is
given in the following table;
