Population is
1~O1,1OO,OOO
Exclusive of Possessions,
Country's Population is
91,972,266

Washington, Dec. 10.-In the Unit
ed States and all it's possessions
the stars and stripes protect 101,-
100 900 souls. This is the official
estimate of the United States Bur-
a OF the Census, made public to-
day in connection with the popu-
lation statistics oft he county, as
enumerated in the thirteenth de-
cennial census. 1t includes the
Philippines, Samoa, Guam, Hawai-,
Alaska and the Panama Ca
nal zone.
Within its borders on the North
American Continent exclusive OF
Alaska, the United States has a
population of 81, s72, 266 inhabitan' s.
In the last ten years the states of
the Union had an increase in pop
ulation of 15~,e77,691, which amounts
to q per cent the 1900 figures.
Since the first census was taken
in 1890 the county has grown
twenty-five times as large, the
population then hsV ng been, $685.
214, slightly larger than the pres
ent population OF Texas.
The growth of the country was
greater than has been an icipated
by the expert s:aEisticians who
have closely watched the pro-
gress Of the country's population.
In a statement explaining the
increase of the population of the
continental United States OF d.
972,266. Director Durand attribut-
es the growth largely to greater
net additions through immigration
He finds a wider disparity in the
growth of the different states in
the past decade than for any 9th
er. The range is from a decrease
OF 5.3 per cent in Iowa, to an I in
crease OF 100 per cent in Washing
ton. Mr.. Durand says:
The country is plainly marked
off in broad groups of states, ac-
,cording to the difference in the in
crease The states showing The
the lowest increases falling be-
low 10 per cent r five in the
great central section of the coun-
try, Iowa, Missouri, Kentucky, In
diana and Tennessee; the three
northern New England States and
Maryland and Delaware.
The states showing the next
highest increase between 10 and
20 per cent lie adjacent to those
showing the lowest and include in

u. S. Needs
More Farmers
j. Hill Discusses
Agricultural Situation
in Missouri Letter

Columbia, Mo-, Dec. .Io.--Some OF
the leading agricultural authorities
OF the nation will be in the pro-
gramme for Missouri Farmers
Week at Columbia, January 10 to
a., at which time the State Corn
Show, with more than $4,000 in
premiums will also be held.
James J. Hill Of the Great North
ern Railway Company was invited,
but has written he can not at
attend. In his letter to Secretary
T. c. Wilson he discusses the great
need for more farmers. The letter
follows, in part:
zone of the chief troubles of this
country is the inadequacy OF ag-
riculture to support all the other
interests that rest upon it. We
are not increasing the food pro-
duct in proportion to the increase
of population. Our industries are
too unbalanced by the movement
from the farm to the city. The
biggest fact before the country to
day is this situation and the neces
sity OF changing it.
1.-THE relative decline of agricul-
ture as an occupation is due most
ly to artificial causes. At the
beginning of the last century less
than 10 per cent o. the people liv
ed in towns. The other nineteen
tbs were food producers. By 1870
a little less than half the workers
furnished food for all the rest,
Today probably less than a third
must feed the other two-thirds
But for the last fifty years especi-
ally we have stimulated other in
dustries at the expense OF the farm
Every ~inducement has been offer
ed to both capital and labor to
transfer themselves from agricul-
ture to manufacturing.
"Those who are in earnest about
real agricultural progress should
direct their efforts to turning out
more actual farmers. That is what
this country needs most; the only
one that a keep industry safely
balanced, MAINTAIN a reasonable
cost OF living and sustain their
national Institutions in safety, To
send a young man out on the land
with a knowledge of how to get
the most and the best out of it,. is
today the equivalent OF sending
a capable recruit to the front in
time of war. If we make that ouI
object point and reach it, the fu-
ture will bring few problems that
need cause patriotic citizens ar
anxious thought"
