AGRICULTURAL DATA FOR THE
UNITED STATES.

Census Director Durand at Wash
ington, ID. c., gave out last week an
important advance statement from
the bureau of the census containing
additional figures and details of the
agricultural statistics of continental
United States collected at the thir-
teenth decennial census, April Is,
1910, 1t is based on a preliminary
comparative summary submitted by
DR.. LIE Grand Powers, chief statis-
tician for the division of agriculture
in the bureau of the census and it
supplements brief preliminary no.
tice issued in July last.
The figures here given are sub
ject to revision, inasmuch as there
is small number of farms, the re-
turns for which are incomplete,
which will be included in the final
tables. Such additions, however,
will not materially modify either the
amounts or the rates here stated.
Further information with regard to
the acreages and yields and value
of domestic animals in the United
States will be published later, when
the tabulation of the material has
been completed.
Slow Increase in Number of Farms.
During the ten years which fol-
lowed the census of 1900, the popu-
lation of the United States increased
21 per cent, but the number of
farms did not keep pace with the
increase in population. From 81
1882 in 1900 the number grew
to 6,340,357, an increase of 6O2,-
9S5, or 10.5 per cent. For the whole
United States this is the lowest rate
of increase which has been noted
since the number of farms was first
recorded in 1850. The increase in
the total acreage devoted to agric-
ulture was only 35,137,OOO acres, or
Az per cent. The actual area in
farms was S3S,592, 900 acres in
1910.
Improved land, however, increased
more rapidly than the total farm
acreage or number of farms, the ad-
vance being from 4,499,000 acres
in 1900 to 477,44S,000 acres in
1910, a gain of 62,940,0O0 acres, or
1872 per cent. in ten years. Yet this
percentage of increase was only
about two-thirds the growth of pop
ulation.
Increase in Farm Values.
In striking contrast with the slow
growth in the number and acreage of
farms and the area of improved land
during the ten years is the enormous
rise which has occurred in the value
of farm property. Farm land, ex-
elusive of buildings, which was
valued at $13, 05S,OOS, 900 in 1900,
| had more than doubled before 1910,
being then returned as having a
value of $2S, 1000. The en-
o:mous increase here recorded OF
SIS, ,328,762,O represents an ad-
vance of 117.4 per cent. in the value
of all land in farms.
1t is Immediately evident that the
relatively small increase in the total
acreage of farm and, Az per cent
was one of the least important of the
factors causing the great increase in
aggregate value. The average value
of farm land per acre increased
from $15.57 in 1909 to $32.49 in
1910, gain of $16.92 per acre, OF
1887 per cent.
1t is not alone farm land which
has increased in value. Farm build.
ings valued in 1900 as $3,556,64O,.
900 have increased to $6,294,737,-

Washington, July 2S.--The only obstacles
which would prevent John II. Walsh. the

The federal parole board which will con-
slider Walsh's case, did not know the IN
dictments had been dismissed, and was
considering him Ineligible for release under
the rule which prohibits parolins prisoner

Walsh's application for release, If he
makes one, will be taken up by the board
when 1t meets at LeaVeuWorth September
