FUTURE OF OUR FARM LANDS.
What Is i'm Store i'm the Way of
Their Development i'm the
Years to Come.

Economists are forecasting the
possible future development of the
agricultural lands in the United
States. Population from natural
increase and immigration is expand
ing rapidly, and it is predicted by
1850 the inhabitants will total
100000 people. The great
problem which confronts the future
development Of the country is the
agricultural lands, the products
from which are to feed the nation
Fortunately science has demon
strated that the land will never be-
come exhausted of it's fertility, but
what is can be reclaimed and made
to yield bountiful harvests. Oil,
coal, copper, gold and the mineral
wealth of land may become depleted.
but the land is a stable part of the
earth and represents a permanent
inheritance to man.
A century ago the area of forests
east of the Rocky Mountains aggre-
gated 700,000,000 acres, which now
is reduced to nominally 100000, 900
acres. The cut-over lands in Wis
consin, Michigan, Minnesota. Ore
gon, Washington and other lumber
producing states are able and cap
able of supporting large popula-
ton when placed under cultivation.
1t is estimated that not more than
2 per cent of the land in the Unit
ed States is now under cultivation.
which is expected in the next forty
years to increase to SO per cent. 1t
is estimated that the expansion of
consumption Of agricultural pro-
ducts in the next score of years will
require an increase of 153.7O0,00O
acres under cultivation, without es-
timating the enlarged consumption
of fruits and vegetables.
Around 20 per cent of the area of
Vic ohitCu OtatCS Will I'll W dyS US uC-
voted to grazing purposes and will
prove valuable for live stock indus
try while too rough for cultivation
1t was the grazing ground of the
extinct buffalo, but is now occupied
largely by sheep, cattle and range
horses. There are fertile valleys in
this area that can be irrigated and
small sections cultivated with dry
farming. but practically 800 00O,-
900 acres will always be utilized for
grazing purposes. The Department
of Agriculture reports that not more
than per cent of the land is ir-
reclaimable desert.
The prodigal waste of timber dur
ing the last forty years is estimated
to average $50,O0O,0OG annually, or
approximately 0O.0O0.0O0 worth
of timber wasted. 1t is time there
was national movement to con-
serve our natural resources and ar
rest the prodigal waste of our for
ests and the depletion of the fertility
of the land. While Uncle Sam is
no. longer rich enough to give every
body a farm, there is plenty of
agricultural land to support a popu-
lation of 3OO,O0O,OO0 in the United
States. Texas alone is capable of
maintaining SO.O0O,OOG people if
all her arabic land were under cult
walton to cereals. fruits and vege-
tables.-Ex.
