tne increasing demand for farm products, as
well as Of tho absence Of any considerable
areas which can be made productive at the
cost which has attended the opening OF
farms upon the treeless plains.
Forty-four years measures but fraction
OF national life: yet forty-four years ago
the gold seekers traversed an unbroken
wilderness from the Mississippi to the
Western Ocean. Since then, Minnesota.
Kansas. Nebraska. the two Dakotas. the
mountain States. and those OF the Pacific
slope have been evolved from this wilder
ness and have aided immensely In quadru-
ping the productive area OF the nation.
These States. with Iowa and Missouri. have
added to the cultivated area more than
100000 acres since 1866. which year marks
the first effort to estimate officially the
area under cultivation.
The rapidlty with which the transmits
sissippi regions have been eubdued and
made productive is as wonderful as 1t is I'M
rivalled in the progress Of industrial life
elsewhere. The progress made In reduc-
Ing these wastes to cultivation. and the
sudden cessation OF this phenomenal de-
velopment about the middle OF the last dec
ade (although moro people than ever have.
during the last eight years. been DESTROYS
OF securing farms and homes upon the
public domain) afford abundant proof OF
tho now practically complete occupancy Of
tho arabic lands.
Unfortunately. census tabulatons did not.
until 1850 and near the close OF the period
OF greatest development. furnish o measure
Of the increase Of cultivated areas and the
progress made in subduing the wilderness:
nor do the census tables OF 1880 and 1890
help US. except inferentially. to determine
the relative increase Of cultivated acres in
the intermediate flve-year periods. nor are
there other data that do 30 prior to 1865.
Although not wholly satisfactory. such
data exist In the reports Of tho De-
partment Of Agriculture for 1865 and
subsequent years. and they. with the census
figures Of 1880 and 1890. enable US to
measure the astounding strides made be-
tween 1869 and 1884; to see how sudden was
the halt called when most Of the lands Of
the Dakotas had been occupied. and how
slow the development has been since the
practical exhaustion of the raw materiel
from which farms are made.
There Is probably no more satisfactory or
striking way Of showing the progress OF
agricultural development In the periods
under review than by tabular statement:
and the one that follows gives areas under
cultivation In 1866. 1869. 1874. 1879 1884. 1889.
and 1898. by groups Of States. the States be-
ing grouped with reference as much to their
principal agricultural products as to geo.
graphical position:
The sun. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1833-1916, 1893-09-04

A fact of tremendous significance brought
out by this table. and probably tho most
sIrniflcant phase OF current economic con-
ditions, is that In the five years ending
with 1879 the cultivated area OF The United
States Increased by b2.sOO.OOO acres. the
annual additions averaging l0.56O.OOO acres (;
whereas the additions made during the last
four years average but 100000 acres a year.
being less than twenty-lrst part OF those
of the earlier period.
Words could not 80 clearly show the
exhaustion OF tho arabic lands as does
this simple numerical statement, especially
when taken In connection with the fact that
the ratio Of would-be farmers to the total
nopulation is no less now than fifteen years
since. whom tho additions to the cultivated
area in any one OF Ave years was greater
than would accrue In twenty-one years at
the present rate OF increase.
That the proportion of the population
seeI,Ipg farms Is MS great now as fifteen
vears since is shown by the avIdlty with
which each remnant of an Indian reserva-
tiop is SEIZED and tho tenacity with which
their occupants hold to the sterile lands Of
tho semi-arid plains.
