81 per cent of the people In West Vir-
ginia lived outside of incorporated
towns and cities; in 1900 the percen-
tage had dropped to rs per cent: in
1910, 1t went down to 20 per cent:
and by this time ii Is even lower.
The second cause for alarm Is
found in the fact that increase in
production is falling below increase
in population in West Virginia. As
stated in preceding paragraphs, the
population of West Virginia increased
u per cent dtwing the last decade In
crease in population means increase
in ability to produce, hence the nat
ural conclusion would be that the or.
binary farm crops of the State would
show an increase similar to that of
population. Moreover. we are very
sure that the demand for food and
clothing increased with population
and when our State productions fall
behind the ordinary demands of our
population, we become an importing
State. This means that the money of
our State flows from our own stores
and banks to outside merchants In
deed, it means that we are conduct
ing a losing business. Before further
comment the facts should be examin-
ed.
In 1899 the farmers OF West Vir-
ginia raised 16,510,7s0 bushels of corn.
Ten years later, in 1909. they raised
17,119,097 or 81 per cent more than
in 1899 in spite of the fact that the
population in the same time increas-
ed q per cent.
The per capita production of corn
by decades in West Virginia follows:
In 1879, 22.4 bushels; in 1899, IS
bushels; in 1899, 17.3 bushels; in 1909
ID bushels.
There has also been decrease in
numbers of live stock during the per
iod under discussion that is worthy
of our consideration. The situation is
well shown by the following table:
Domestic Animals On Farms In West
Virginia.
