Of which 0.474,5eS acres. or 14.3 per

OF its area, ~ traversed by the prin-
cipal ranges Of the Rocky mountains.

The development of the agricultural
resources Of the state dates from the
early part Of the decade 1850 to 1870.
at about the time when the territory
was organized. Previous to this time
the Inhabitants consisted, for the most
part, of miners, who had settled In the
region In 1859, and who had devoted
little attention to farming. Since the
first agricultural census in 1870. the
number of farms has increased rapidly.
In the last decade there was an in.
crease of bO.7 per cent. The total area
In farms, also has Increased Mt u rapid

pnblic domain and purchase Of railroad

In 1870 there were 1854 acres under
cultivation; in 1880, GIG, 100 acres: in
1890. 1.s23.52O acres. and In 1900,
2,273, 988 acres.
The value Of all classes Of farm prop

twenty years, the total value in 1900
