FIGURES Of COUNTY
GIVEN IN DETAIL
Bulletin of Census Bureau Fur
nishes Facts Regarding Popu-
lation of All Districts

While Washington is looked upon
as an agricultural state the growth
of the cities has been greater than
the growth in the country here as
well as everywhere else. Right here
in Yakima there is being experienced
return to the soil movement which
is bringing in an unusually large per-
centage of citybred people from the
east and middle west to make their
homes on ranches But even in Yak
ina county the increase in urban pop
ulation has been over twice as great
in per cent as in rural districts.
Data Convenient
The census bureau, in getting the
figures for the past decade, has made
an innovation this year in publishing
the data for the individual counties
all together in one place where it
can be conveniently got at The pop
ulation of the state of Washington
is 1,141,990 Compared with it's pop
ulation in 1890, this is an increase of
1904 per cent. AS the whole United
States was. during the same period,
increasing 81 per cent, it will be seen
IiltlL w tiSlIl = ipI Ntl0 NOilSlttl ANY
more than holding it's own. 1t has CT
cities of which the largest are Bell
ingham, Everett, Seattle, Spokane, Ia
coma and Walla Wala. The census
department reduces everything to an
alphabetical basis. OF these six
cities, Everett, which increased 216.6
per cent, shows the largest growth
and Walla Wala, which increased
only 92.7 percent, the lowest rate of
increase.
Figures Mislead
OF the thirty-eight counties, Frank
lin, with it's astounding per cent of
increase of 960.3, is in the lead, with
Chelan second, with a rate of increase
of 2S4.2. Yakima is third, with 209.S.
AS Franklin county, however. had only
4S6 people in 1900 and has but 5153
today and as Chelan gained about
1000 people in the decade, while
Yakima's increase in the ten years
was 28,247, it is apparent that the
figures are misleading
Double Number in Cities
In the stat. as a whole the in
crease in urban population has been
l6G per cent and in rural population
SAT- per cent. In Jefferson and Kit
sap counties alone has the increase
in the rural districts been greater
than in the cities and the reason
chiefly is that in Kitsap. at least, the
Urban population comprises only
2 80 people. In Pierce county the
increase has been more nearly bal
anced with l43 per cent for the cities
and 1913 for the rural. In distin-
gushing between urban and rural,
the census cpartment recognizes as
urban, cities and incorporated places
of $500 or more inhabitants.
Population of Precincts
Yakima county has 41,T09 people.
In 1870 it had 1872 It's rate of in
crease for the past decade has been
209S. with the increase for the ur-
ban 34G.5 and for the rural. 16S. The
new bulletin sent out by the census
bureau supplies Information about the
population of even the most obscure
election precincts, including Mt.
Adams, with it's Al votes, which are
generally several days in arriving to
swell the election returns. Even the
population Of the North Yakima wards
is given, the third leading with 2S67.

and each owes it to the other to be
constantly working for greater eff
cheney.
Difference in One Bushcl
AS proof that the farmer is not
making Roadway in efficiency, Presi-
dent Elliott gave figures to show that
the production of wheat per acre in
Minnesota, the Dakotas and the mid
die west grain states, is fraction of
a bushel less today than it was thirty
years ago. In the case of corn, the
falling off in the thirty years is nearly
four bushels. The reason, of course,
is that the farmer IS not following
modern methods, having his seed
tested, putting back into the soil in
fertilizers what the successive crops
are taking out of it. The production
per acre of grain in this country COM
pares not at all favorably with the
production in Germany and the United
Kingdom. The German can grow an
average of 2S9 bushels of wheat per
acre; the Englishman 33.1, where the
American grows only 14.1 The same
ratios hold with oats and barley
If each farmer in the United
States had grown one more bushel of
wheat per acre in 1909, at the aver
age farm value of that year. the farm
ers of the country collectively would
have been S14,545,6 500 richer.
Should Keep Accounts
President Elliott thinks that the
farmers, to be efficient. must keep
accounts else he can never foil
whether he is making or losing
money. 1.-THE railroad manager buys"
he says, with exceptional caution,
causing his purchases to be tested for
quality and having them closely in
spected before he pays for them. Some
farmers are learning to do the same
and save money. but many plant I'M
tested seed buy the cheap rather than
the productive dairy COW, and still
cling to methods which must uti-
mately give way to a modern and eff
fcient business system"

Need Efficient Farmers

While the railroads are increasing
in general efficiency the country over,
the farmers are not, according to
President Elliott, and in addresses
this fall at the Richland County fair
at WahpetOn. n. D., and at the in
dustrial exposition AT Bismarck, he
appealed to the farmer to do his share
in making his farm produce at its
highest capacity. The railroad men
and the farmers. he said, are respon-
sible for the welfare OF the country
as are no other two classes OF men.
Neither is independent of the other.
