STATISTICAL ILLUSTRATIONS.


The census reveals an increase in the popula-
ton of contiguous continental United States OF
Fl per cent. during. the last decade (from Is
million to 90 million people). The Bureau OF
Census also found an increase Of 4.8 per cent
in farm land, an increase Of 15.4 per cent in
farmed land which means the land used for the
production Of crops, including pasture for live
stock.
But has our increased production per acre
amounted to more than Fl per cent, as the above
quotations would lead us to believe? If so, our
total increase in production should be 80 per
cent, considering that We are farming 1914
per cent more acres. But the report of the Blu
reau of Census shows only Ii per cent increase
in the total production of all cereal crops, in
Guiding corn, wheat, oats, barley, rye, rice, buck
wheat, Kafr corn, emmer and spelt, the aggre-
gate production having been 4,439 million
bushels in 1909; and a comparison of the crop
Statistics of the Department of Agriculture
for these years with the averages for the three
year periods, 1898 to 1900, and 1908 to 1910,
respectively, shows that, on the whole, 1909 was
a slightly more favorable season than was 1899,
for the production of the cereal crops.
An increase of 1914 per cent in farmed land

We might expect and hope that a much larger
increase would be found in the live stock pro-
duced during the decade on the farms OF the
United States, but instead we find no increase
at all. In fact, the number of cattle decreased
by six million (from 68 to 62 million head)
the swine decreased by five million (from 63 to
SO million head) !; and the sheep decreased by
nine million head (from 81 to So million head !;
while horses and mules increased by less than
three million (from 22k to "a million on farms
and from Is to 2711a million all told, including
those in cities.)

sROAOGAUGlNG OF THE PASS
MAY BE SOMEWHAT DELAYED.

According to General Superinten-
dent Rockwell of the Denver & Rio
Grande, the only reason Marshall Pass
will not be standardized this year will
be the scarcity of steel rails. If these
can be secured in his judgment. the
work will be done this summer. This
is the substance of conversation
the latter was petitioning for side
track extension. The same eXten-
sion depends on whether the standard
gauging will be commenced this year
or not. Mr.. Rockwell explained that
it was the intention of the company
to use So pound rails instead of the
o. now in use, and it was question
whether or not these rails could be
supplied by the mill in time to begin
work this summer.
The company did not desire to go
to the expense of putting in side
tracks with the lighter rails. and then
later substitute the heavier ones. On
the other hand they could not lay
the heavier rails while the lighter ones
were in use on the main line.
As reason for using the heavier
rails. Mr., Rockwell explained that 1t
was the intention of the company to
use the Marshall Pass route as the
main line. and the heavier steel was
necessary in order to accommodate
the increased traffic.-Salida Record.

SHOULD KEEP AWAKE
OVER BLACK MESA ROAD.

1t is quite time that the people of
this county, and especially of this
vicinity wake up to the importance
regarding the Black mesa auto road
There will be meeting of the high
way commission in May and good
delegation from this county armed
with facts and figures should meet
with the commission. 1t can easily
be shown that the cost of bridge
across the Lake Fork and the rock
work through that canon, absolutely
necessary to the Blue mesa route, will
build the entire road over the Black
mesa And then the Blue mesa route
has just begun. Seventy miles over
five divides with steep grades must
still be built These facts can be
shown clearly to the commission and
will certainly have their effect. And
now is the time to get busy. The other
fellows are already busy working
tooth and nail. We can't afford to
lose that road by delay.-Crawford
