The foregoing figures show there
is need for more farmers in the North
western states and that millions of
acres OF lands, now idle, could be
put under cultivation on a substan-
tial revenue paying basis. There are
many who believe that the days OF
the bonanza farms are numbered,
which means that with smaller hold
| ings there will be more intensive
farming, and, as a consequence,
larger acre crops.
The farm products of 1909 in the
Inland Empire, taking in eastern
Washington and Oregon, north and
central Idaho and western Montana,
are valued at $110, 10000 A normal
apple crop at present prices instead
of u yield ranging from 35 to 40 per
cent, would have placed the figures
at approximately $117,OOO,OOO as
against about 800, 100000 in 1908.
Wheat, of course. was the big
factor, the four states producing
hmore than %, 100000 bushels, OF which
IS, $50, 900 bushels is credited to Wash
ington, 1887 900 bushels to Oregon,
Il, 465, 900 bushels to Idaho and the
rest to Montana. The other farm
products entering into the computa-
ton are fruits, oats, barley, rye, hay,
sugar heets, potatoes, garden pro.
ducts, live stock, dairy products and
poultry and eggs.
The foregoing figures become i'm
portant in the development of the
western country when it is known
that in many instances the products
of the older farming states are not
as valuable as those in the quartet
mentioned, which, less than quar-
ter OF u century ago, were considered
to be largely worthless lands. 1t
means, too, that with the influx of
population and outside capital for
development purposes there will be
more farms and a greater wealth
production.
There are 6, al 900 farms, or about
100000 more than in 1899, in the
United States today, and the value
of the products for 1909 is placed at
1900, 000,0 900. with farm assets of
$50, 000, 100000. This shows that
fully one-third OF the population of
the country is engaged in the various
forms OF agriculture.
1t is believed by many that the re-
suit OF the country life and back-to-
the-land movements will be to raise
the per centage of farmers to 40 in a
few years, thus placing the nation
in the position of an exporter and
raising the wealth production to the
1-figure notch.
