DEMAND ron PUBLIC Laypx.

Although there is not a great deal of
the remaining public. domain that is
particularly desirable for agriculture.
the demand for what Is left continues
good. 1t appears that the last fiscal
year was one of the busiest in the his
tory of the Government land service
More cash was taken in and more pat
ents were issued than In any year for
some time. The cash receipts from all
sources amounted to over seven and a
half million dollars and final entries
and selections were made TO the mum
Der of $4,000. Sixty thousand land
patents of all classes were issued dur
ing the year.
The public lands available for profit
able cultivation are thus being rapidly
taken up and the exhaustion of the
supply can be a matter of only a few
years. When that time comes there
wall ensne 2 larger demand for lands of
private ownership. so that half a cen
tury hence most of the great sinGle
farms at present viii have been divided
up, with the necessary result of mate
rally increasing production. since many
OF these large farms are now only par
TALLY cultivated. Another effect will
be to ADVANCE the price of good lands
generally and probably to restore to
cultivation millions of acres that at
present are non productive = Chicago
