The country was greater than has
,een expected by the expert statis-

Census Director. Durand says:
THE States showing the lowest
rates OF increase, falling below 10
per cent, are Ave In the great Cen
trail section Of the country, namely.
owa, Missouri. Kentucky. Indiana
md Tennessee; the three Northern
New England States and Maryland
md Delaware.
1.-THE States showing the next high
er increase between 10 and 70 pe-
lrent lie adjacent to those showing
the lowest rate and include, In the
Middle West. Ohio, Michigan, Wis
consin, Illinois, Minnesota, Nebraska
and Kansas, and on the other hand
a great belt ct Southern States,
namely, Virginia. North Carolina,
sor:h Carolina, Georgia, Alabama
md Mississippi.
States which show an Increase
from 20 to 80 per cent are, for the
!, most, the great manufacturing
States, including Massachusetts,
Rhode island. Connecticut, New
ORR. Pennsylvania and West Vir-
S,nia, the only other States increas-
'ls between 20 and 80 per cent ara
a~karsas and Texas.
1.-THE States which show an In
crease exceeding 80 per cent are,
virh the exception Of New Jersey and
Florida, all located in the West anL
make up a solid belt comprising
fully one.thlrd of the area Of the
United States. South Dakota, Colo
RADIO and Utah had rates OF Increase
between 80 and SO per cent, while
North Dakota, Wyoming, Oregon,
California, New Mexico and Arizona
increased between SO and 100 per
cent, and Oklahoma, Idaho and
Washington more than 100 per cent.
The greatest change in rate OF
growth Is found In the three Pacific
'oast States. and Nevada and New
Mexico. all of which grew far faster
.!lrins the last ten years than during
the preceding period.
1.-The population Of the Middle At
lantic States is 19.315,S92 and the
south Atlantic States 12.194.S9H.
! The percentage Of increases OF the
South Atlantic States is 1854.
THE fact that the rate Of in
rreases for the country as whole
was greater from 1900 to 1910 than
during the preceding decade was due
entirely to the added rate Of growth
In the Mid1le Atlantic, Mountain and
Pacific divisions. In all six OF the
other divisions the increase during
the last decade was less than during
the previous one."
