LARGE Shifting Element.

~ There are not many stagnant COM
munities in Minnesota, according to the
records of the state census bureau,
which indicate a remarkably large
shifting element in the population, not
only in the cities, but in the rural dis
tricts. While many farmers from the
older sections Of the state have gone
farther west to seek cheap lands, even
greater numbers have come into the
state from older sections where farms
are still more expensive. -
The census tables show that no less
than 534,s72 persons have lived in the
state less than five years, including
those born during that time. It is
only. possible to approximate the num-
Der of persons who have actually moved
into the state, by arriving at the num-
ber Of living children born in the state
within the five years. Vital statistics
are incomplete in Minnesota, but the
federal census for Minnesota gave the
state IS birth rate at 2S.7 per 1000 for
that year. At that rate, the births dur
ing the five succeeding years must have
numbered approximately $1,000, and Of
these it is safe to say that 100000 chill
dren are still living. Subtracting this
number from the 534,s72, gives total
Of 294,s72 people of various ages who
have come from other states and coun-
tries since 1900 to live in Minnesota.
On the other hand, the net increase
in population since that time is only
228,303. This would indicate that 306,-
$50 people have either died or removed
from the state: Death records are in
complete, but the reports to the state
board Of health for the last five years
give >84,250 deaths in the state. Cen.
sus enumerators turned in all death rec
ords for 1904 they could find, and added
1000 names to the records of the board
Of health. At this rate, 5000 names
ought to be added to the board Of
health records for the five years, giving
a total Of 92,250 deaths. Assuming that
figure to be correct, then 214,319 people
have removed from the state in the
five years.
The excess Of births over deaths, or
the natural increase, was 147,75o for
the five years. The excess Of incomers
over those moving away was s0,553.
Just to understand the extent of the
shifting movement, the state census
figures may. be reduced TO apply to an
average community Of 1000 people. In
such a place there will be found 14s
people who have come in from other
states since; 1900. During that period
l0s people will have moved into other
states. Still others will have come in
and gone out within the state itself.
The cities have grown faster than the
country istricts, Indicating that the
