there would be very little progress In

POSSIBLE POPULATION OF THE
UNITED STATES.

Our recent acquisition OF new terri
tory. which IL justified by many on
the score OF our ne sessities as a rap.
idly multiplying race, has revived pop
nlar interest In the discussion of the
question as to how many people, un-
der present condition of arts. could
be supported on the soil OF the Unit.
ed States. BY the greatest possible
economy and utilization of our nat.
ural resources. how large poulaton
could subsist on the products OF our
soil2
or course those who are familiar
with the vast unoccupied and unde'
yoloped tracts In our domain are not
apprehensive considering the future
subsistence OF the race. But the pos
sibIc poulation" OF this country Is none
the less Interesting ms "A topic of eco
nomic investigation. The Yangtse
valley In China, with an area OF G00
100000 square miles, has population
OF 100000 900. or over two persons to
the acre. Belgium. the most dense.
ly poulnted country In Europe, has
about $40 people to the square mile
or less than one to an acre.
For the United States to support
one person to the acre would mean a
deep and fnr-reaching transformation
In our methods OF farming and in our
utilization OF the natural resources OF
the continent According to the cen
sus OF 1900 there are 152 persons to a
square mile In New York and 1O2 to
a square mile In Ohio. The Ohio av-
crage II spread over the republic
would raise the population OF the Uni.
