They do not constitute progress, by any means.
New businesses come IN to meet the demand, and

wealth comes from the application of labor to the

those where the land yields most for gwen
amount of labor applied to it. Demings growth
was stopped for quite a number of years because
of the decline of the mining and cattle interests,
and because it was not yet known that agriculture
could be carried on successfully. As soon as this
latter fact was demonstrated, the town began to
move forward. Ithas been found that for a gwen
amount of labor applied to the soil, the returns
compare favOrably with the richest agricultural,
