Waste TilIable Land.

Preliminary estimates by the depart
ment of Agriculture show that of the
1 ,14O, 100000 acres of tillable land in
the United States only twenty-seven per
cent is actually under cultivation.
The estimates were based upon reports
of 35, 900 correspondents scatteredi in ev-
cry state to ascertain the tillable area of
the country, the amount of land unavail-
able for crops but available for pasture
or fruits and the total acreage that can
never be used for agricultural purposes.
The entire United States, excluding for
eign possessions, contains about 1,900,-
100000 acres Ofthis area about sixty
per cent or 1, 14O, 100000 acres is esti.
mated to be tillable, that is, capable of
being brought under cultivation by
means of a plow. This includes land al
ready un Ter cultivation and that which
in the future may be brought under Guilt
walton by clearing, drainage. irrigation,
etc.
Of the entire acreage 361 100000
acres, or 10 per cent are estimated to be
non-tillable but valuable for pasture or
fruits. Only 81 per cent, or 800 100000
acres, was estimated to be of no use for
agriculture present or future.
There is plenty of land yet left in this
country for farmers, and if more of it
could be utilized for producing food
supplies, the problem of the high cost of
living might be solved.
