FARMERs, LAND PROFITS.

The census bureau has Just issued
a statement giving the total amount
and value OF farm lands in the Unit
ed States. II presents remarkable
showing and 1t justifies the state
ment heretofore made that the Amer
Iican farmer receives greater net
profit from the rise in the value OF
| his lands than from the crop he rails
es. In ten years farm land values
in this country have more than
doubled. They have increased more
than II percent a year for the en-
tire period. The actual increase is
Ills per cent, and the total $15,262,-
1888, 900. The census Of 1890 gave
farm values at $13, 051 1900. The
new census puts them at $685.
$4,000. Farm buildings and farm
implements are valued at $25,859,-
$4,000, an increase Of over eight
and one-half billion dollars in ten
years.
These brief figures reflect the
prosperity of the American farmer.
They show also that he has added
greatly to his buildings and imple-
ments. The number of farms in the
United States is now 6,S40,12O, an
increase Of eleven per cent in ten
years. The farm acreage increased
from 1916 100000 acres in 1900 to
07S, 7O3, 900, or a gain practically Of
five per cent. There has been a large
Increase in improved acreage, fully
Is per cent. The census report plac-
es the total improved acreage at
l77,424, 900 acres as against 414,-
10000 ten years ago.

The Manhattan Mercury says: "The
discussion brought out through Sena-
tor Bristow's efforts to change the
sugar tariff, have developed one fact
very clearly, and that is that the
Opposition Of ]. R. Burton while in
the senate, to the Cuban sugar bill
was entirely right. Burton took the
position that the bill would benefit
nobody but the sugar trust and the
result has so proved. The trust neith-
er paid more for the raw sugar in
Cuba nor charged less for the refined
sugar in the United States. The re-
suit being that the $4,000, 700 Of
tariff revenue which the government
had been receiving annually, was
simply diverted to the golfers pf
the trust" In many other things
Mr.. Burton was right but the powers
that ran things did not want any
with their plans so he
was sacriflced-and Mr.. Bristow was
the tool used to unseat him.

cENTER or POPULATION WEST.

Westward the star of empir'
takes its flight" That has Away
been true in the history Of civilian
ton, but 1t is especially true today
in the United States. According tc
the census bureau at Washington the
population center in the last ten years
moved westward more than thirty
one miles, twice as much as in the
\ preceding decade. It stands to rea-
son that Its flight this way win be
much faster in the coming ten years,
for each decade profits In advance
ment upon the construction work II
the one before.
The population center Is now in
Monroe county, Indiana, which is in
the second tier Of counties south Of
Indianapolis, and the geographical
center Of the county is at point in
northern Kansas, making the distance
between the two centers $50 miles.
How long will 1t take the center OF
population to catch up with the center
OF the land? That Is an interesting
question. In Its answer Is wrapt up
q good deal of the economic and
social development Of the country.
We have already staked out our last
frontier, so that this westward flight
Of the star Of empire involves no
advancing Of the territorial outposts
but rather a filling-in process. This
is the work for the future, building |
up and opening up the country with

The center Of population must not
be allowed to swing backward, to-
ward the east. That would be bad
for the country in every way. We
need to equalize our centers Of set
Element, to draw steadily away the
overflow OF the large urban centers
Of the east onto the sparsely or UNI
peopled stretches of the west. This
process needs to be kept In mind, K
too, with relation to distributing for Z

before US, our government should as
soon as practicable establish immi-
grafton distributing depots in the

THE VESTS EXPANDING ASSETS,

Census figures show that the val
ue of farms in the United States was
| $3.50 million dollars in 1910, COM
pared with 1887 millions in 1900,
an increase in ten years Of los per
cent. The increase in the value of
the land alone was 11S per cent,
while the value of buildings and i'm
plements expanded SO per cent.
The most significant fact about
these statistics Is the evidence they
give Of the greatly increased assets
Of the west. Not only is the bulk
of the farm lands in the west, but
the percentage of increase was vastly
greater in the west than in the east.
For example, the value of farm lands
increased 1873 per cent in Kansas,
compared with only 9 per cent in
Pennsylvania. In Oklahoma the gain
was 333 per cent, while in New York
It was 2S per cent. Missouri's in
crease was 1O7 per cent, Nebraska's
231 per cent, South Dakota S21 per
cent.
without entering into the reasons
which caused SO much greater rela-
i've increase in the west than in the
,ast, 1t is worth while to emphasize
he fact that the figures show an
strengthening of the finan-
.ial stability Of the great agricul-
ural region of the country.-Star.

CREATING NEW REAL WEALTH.

IOhEAIlNG NEW RbhA WEhnlH
A single county in Illinois raises
more corn than fourteen of the states
put together, and yet every farmer
in every state raises some corn. In
this single county, the science of corn
growing has become the accomplish
ment of every tiller of the land, and
1t is not surprising to be told that one
farmer averages ia bushels per acre.
What one has done, all can do. The
secret OF cheaper cost of living is to
grow more food stuff per acre
through better methods of cultiva-
ton.
In the older counties, where land
has been farmed for centuries, the
farmers on the average produce much
greater yields per acre than Ameri-
can farmers do from almost virgin
soil. England raises over thirty-two
bushels per acre of wheat, Germany
twenty-nine, but the United States
average is thirteen. The highest av-
erage yields of grain in this country
are not in rich Oklahoma, Nebraska,
Kansas or Iowa, but in rough, billy,
stony, stormy New England, on the
worn out" farms Careless methods,
wastefulness, prevail where nature
s most bountiful. The farmer whose
ands do not become more produc-
i've year by year under active farm
ng is either very stupid or very
hriftless.
An increase of three bushels per
ere in the average yield of corn in
his country would create new wealth
ach year more than equal to all the
,old and silver produced in the
United States. This illustrates the {
of the wide dissemina- e
lon of the most advanced agricultur- I
| knowledge. 1
