Westerners Getting Rich.

The people of the states and terri east of the Rockies have been acquiring wealth at such phenomenal rate that banks and trust companies located in this territory have been obliged 10 pur- chase commercial paper Of the Atlantic seabosrd in order to keep their money employed at a profitable rate.
 In 1S90 the acreage of Missouri farms was 3o.7S02 290 whereas in 1900 these figures were increased 10 B g97 .000. This is an increase of over 3,eeU.0e0 acres which have been put into high cultivation. as has been proved by the m2ryelously increased production Jf wheat and cotton. In corn and oats fis- ures are about the same during he periods already mentioned In 1890 the wheat crop of Missouri amounted to 1i.3S6.000 bushels and in 1904 il was nearly l0000G00 bushels more. amount ing to 2I.i63.t4 Ill bushels The cotton crop is more than three times what il was in 1890. the difference being lj ,S56 and 50519 bales. respectively Taking the crops above mentioned and reducing them to their values, these amounted Ill 1Sst t0 sl09 7,l 024. whereas in 1900 they had expanded to 3219. 29G.000. II will be seen. then. that in ten years the value of the crops in the state of Mis- soari was little more than doubled This has resulted naturally in a reduc- tIon of the state debt In 1890 this amounted to lf.759.S32. but had been reduced by 1900 to s439S. s39. only g trife over one-third of what il was the decade before
 During this time the railroad mileage In Missouri increased from 6. .l42 to [ .276. Ali thts growth has been paralleled by The increase iH banking and trust com panies. The resources of this branch Of idueiary industry amounted to s164. o41.645 in 1891. and in 1904 these re- sources had risen to s5S9, TOO .ooo. This financial strength readily answers the inquiry constantly made in the east why Il k that Missouri is no longer disturbed bt the movement of her crop.
