oEcREAsE or RURAL
POPULATION IN
CENTRAL STATES.
Agricultural Machinery and Farmers'
Sons Going West Are Prin-
cipai Causes.

Washington. Oct. 15.-The census
OF the state OF Illinois, announcement
Iof which Is expected in two or three
keeks, will show a decrease in the
rural population, according to the pre-
dictions of the census officials, who
likewise anticipate falling OF in the
rural population of Indiana and Ohio
and possibly other Middle Western
states, from which the returns will
come in alphabetical order. The Mich
igan census, which was given out In
advance OF the other states on ac-
count of election laws which would
be affected. showed a marked falling
on in many of the counties More re-
Gently the decreased showing in Mis-
souri, excited much comment.
Reasons given for the decrease in
the rural sections of Illinois, the show.
ing OF which is in prospect, are:
Improvements In farm machinery.
Wealth of the farmers. who, with their
large holdings, do not care to divide
them into small farms, and who are
sending their boys TO the West to take
up new land in the less settled re-
gions.
The natural city drift about which
so much has been said. also is an
element. but the experts think the
true explanation lies in combination
OF the reasons given above. Il is point
ed out that all the land in Illinois,
practically, now Is occupied. The i'm
proved farm machinery enables the
farms to be worked without so much
manual help as previously. \
The farmers. seeing the land all
taken up, do not want to break I'D
their big holdings. as they would have
to II they kept their boys near home.
They are looking ahead to a greater
value of the larger estates.
Or course the urban increase will
make the state as a whole show sub
stantial growth.
