MORE RAPIDLY THAN EVER
IN PAST FEW YEARS.
Choice BIT OF TERRITORY
Nearly Every Acre Is Producing, ana
Wealth l. Thereby Addcd--sct-
tiers Are FioCl,ing In.

For three decades oklahoma has
led every state In the union In the
percentage Increase In population.
beginning with 1880, when the state
had population Of 1855 and ending
with 1911, when the figures show the
state to have population OF l,lob,'
800, each decade tells "A wonderful
story of growth and expansion elo-
uuently significant of the appeal the
state has made to the settler and
home builder In 1890 tht scant TO-
585 population of 1880 had increased
to 25S,657, the percentage increase
being 2376. During the decade the
percentage increase of some of the
nearby states was: Texas, 4O4, MIS-
souri, 23.6; Arkansas, 4O.5; and Lou
isiana, 10. The percentage increase
of Oklahoma during that decade was
therefore, nearly six times that OF
Texas, ten times that of Missouri, six
times that of Arkansas, and eleven
times that of Louisiana.
In the decade from 1890 to 1900,
Oklahoma's population grew from
25S,G57 to 790,391, which is expressed
in percentage ratio of 205.6 per cent.
To get the percentage of the neigh
boring states during the same period
is required division of the Oklaho-
ma ratio by figures ranging between
five and eleven.
During the eleVen-year period be-
tween 1900 and 1911, oklahoma 8
population increased from 79O,39l to
1756.OOO. which Is a percentage ratio
of 120.S per cent. The Texas ratio
during that period was 27.S, the Ar
kansas ratio, 20; the Louisiana ratio,
15.S; and the Missouri ratio, l5.S
The past eleven-year ratio increase
for Oklahoma has therefore been ap-
proxlmately five times that of Texas,
six times that of Arkansas and eight
times that Of both Louisiana and MIS-
souri,.
This immensely better showing on
the part of Oklahoma than any other
state in this section can not be at
| trlbuted altogether to the disposition
of public land under the homestead
| law. Texas has always had Verit-
able abundance OF very cheap idl"'
while there are thousands of acres of
public lands in Arkansas not yet ta-
| ken up by the homesteader. BY 1900
/ Oklahoma's fire lands had nearly all
been taken up and the ratio increase
since that time continues to be far
above that of any other section of the
southwest. In fact, during the past
eleven years the average land valua-
tlons of oklahoma have been in ex-
cess of the average of valuations for
each of the states mentioned. The
gist of the matter Is that the 69,4l4
square miles of area that comprise
the present state of Oklahoma Is sim
ply the choicest aggregation of terri
tory on the continent

LANDS OF OKLAHOMA
IN BIG Value Cain
INCREASE IN PAST TEN YEARS
HAS BEEN GREATER THAN
800 PR CENT.

The growth in valuation of Oklaho-
ma farm lands and Improvements has
been as rapid and pronounced as tho
other Industrial features of the MS
tory OF the state The year lS9V
found the state possessed Of farm land
and improvements valued at SS,5Sl,-
40. BY 1900 this valuation had in
creased to $170,30i,675. The years
II tervening between 1900 and 1911
evidenced an almost phenomenal in
crease in this respect, the current
years figures showing a valuation on
this item Of S7S6. .47S,O0O. In round
numbers the increase is S655, 800
OF over 800 per cent.
In this rcspTt oklahonSa ranks
third among the states of the south,
being exceeded only by the valuation
Of Missouri and Texas, and consider
ing population and territory, the ok
lahoma valuation Is considerably IN
excess of the valuations of these states
The farm land and Improvement valu-
atoms Of some of the other southern
states are: Virginia s53O,9lS.OOO;
Tennessee s479,606,OOo; Mississippi
S23O,g95.OO and Arkansas sSO6,129,'
OOO.
The state OF oklahoma in this re-
spcct can be cleaned from a compare
son OF the population figures OF the
several states with the figures repre-
scnting their farm land Improvement
valuations. Georgia, which Is com-
monty designated THE Empire State
of the South" has a population near
~ 100000 in excess Of the popula-
ton of Oklahoma. while Its farm
lend and Improvement valuation Is
little more than sl00,00U,00 less.
Arkansas population is approximately
10000 less than that of Oklahoma.
while Its farm land and Improvement
valuation falls short Of this state by
more than 100000 900. a similar

comparison with Mississippi. Alabama,
North Carolina and osuth Carolina
reveals an almost ident.fal status as
between Oklahoma and Arkansas
Another angle OF view shows even
more clearly the relative status that
Oklahoma holds In this respect, as
compared with the sixteen southern
states with which this state Is ordin-
arily grouped for classification. Ok
lahoma's l,75G,2O0 population IL only
about nineteenth Of the total 3a,-
O49,900 population Of the entire south,
while her farm land and improve
ment valuation Of S736,473,000 Is al.
most one-tcnth the entire sS 97l, ,0S3,-
coo valuation on that item Of all tho
sixteen states. In other words Ok
lGhoma's farm land and improvement
valuation is about 90 per cent more
rer capita than the average for this
section.
This comparison Is valuable simply
as denoting the naturally superior ad.
vantages Oklahoma enjoys over her
spoct Her lands and improvements
are above the average value Of such
lands and improvements In this ser
ton because her soil Is more fertile
ard her future brighter.
As yet Oklahoma Is comparatlveIy
n young state. All the states with
which Oklahoma has been compare d
are older and some of them were
among the original thirteen colonies
If in the short period of TWEEN y
years this state has won the agricuI-
tural laurels from states backed up
by a century and a half of construc-
tive effort, what will be the relatiV G
status revealed by the figures of the
next decade?

Although the present year Will
doubtless evidence "A larger amount OF
new land turned under by the plow
lin oklahoma than any previous one
has evidenced and the figures on this
itom would be Increased If the data
afforded by the spring plowing were
available, compared with other states,
the acreage Of oklahoma land now
under cultivation makes very ad-
.yantageous showing.
Then it ONES to tracing the decade
Increase in the area of the improved
farm lands in oklahoma there is be-
gun the unraveling of an industrial
marvel the like of which has never
before been seen in this nation Of ours
and perhaps never will be again.
In 1890 statistics show that there
were only 5G3,72S acres of improved
farm lands throughout thee entire
state Of oklahoma. During the next
ten years there was an increase or
over 400 per cent on this item ana
the year 1900 found an improved
farm acreage of S,574,1S7 acres. Be
tween that year and the beginning of
the present year, there was an addi-
tion Of approximately nine million
acres to the improved farm lands Of
the state bringing the total acreage
up to 17,496,O00 acres
During the twenty-one years since
1890 there have therefore been added
to the improved farm land acreage Of
Oklahoma total of 1882, ,S72 acres,
which means that the state has null
tiplied this item by $3.50 during the
time.
While this 1896 OOO-acre increase
was being affected In Oklahoma the
improved land area of Texas was am
.plihed by 6,373,7S5 acres, that of Ar
kansas by 1,625,O0O acres and that of
Missouri by 1,6279j7 acres. The
21-year increase for oklahoma is
therefore, nearly three timts that of
Texas and over ten times that of both
. Arkansas and Missouri.
