Washington IAN. 14.-Only 81 per
cent of the tillable land Of the United
States is actually under cultivation,
according to estimates Of the depart
ment of agriculture, based upon re-
ports of $4,000 correspondents. These
reports were obtained in order to gain
information as to the tillable area Of
the United States, the amount Of land
that can not be used for crops that
have to be plowed, but available for
pasture or fruits, and the total num-
Der OF acres that never can be used
for agricultural purposes. From the
returns, which were generally very
consistent, preliminary estimates have
been made for each state and for the
United States. Further investigation
in the far western states may modify
somewhat the present estimate for
those states.
The entire United States, excluding
foreign possessions. contains about
]. 800, 100000 acres. OF this area about
60 per cent or 1.140,o0o.oo0 acres is es-
timated to be tillable, that is, capable
Of being brought under cultivation
by means Of the plow. This includes
land already under such cultivation
and that which in the future may be
brought under cultivation by clearing.
drainage. irrigation. etc.
:. Nineteen Per Cent Untiliablo.
Three hundred sixty one million
acres, or 10 per cent. are estimated to
be non-tillable but valuable for pas
ture or fruits. Only 81 per cent. or
399, OO0, 900 acres, YVES estimated to be
OF no use for agriculture present or
future.
According to the census OF 1909, the
land area In crops where acreage was
given was 100000 acres. This Is
about Is per cent cent OF the total Land
area or about ~ per cent OF the es-
timated potential tiliable area OF the
United States, excluding foreign pos
sessions.
In other words, for every 100 acres
that are now titled, about S75 acres
may be titled when the country IS
fully developed. In the development OF
the agriculture OF the country the land
which was most easily brought into
a state Of cultivation. a. the great
Mississippi valley. was the first to be
brought into such use. Extension OK
titled area will be at greater expense
for clearing, drainage. irrigation. etc.
The Increased production Of the future
will be the result Of increased yields
Der acre as we'll az extension OF area.
A detailed estimate Is given by
states. which shows that Iowa has but
per cent OF non-agricultural land.
This is the lowest amount OF nom
agricultural land in any state.

Chicago Hors. Market.

Chicago, Jan. 14-Whatever pros
poets Of a decent market existed Mon
day forenoon have gone glimmering.
Buyers are more apathetic than they
have lately been and many of them
are bidding below country cost. Not
one OF the eastern markets reports any
thing doing and none of the big dealers
seems to be able to offer even a plaus-
IDLE solution of the trouble. One New
York man. who says he has done less
business this winter than ever before
at similar season. insists that-the
mild, springlike tempera lures are to
blame. Another says that the indus
trial unrest, which prevails all over the
country. is at fault. People do not
know about the income tax, merchants
are as yet uncertain about the tariff.
there is lot Of talk about Argentine
and canadian corn and oats and 80
forth, the net result that most people
who need or at least should need horses
are up in the air and doing nothing.
A third bla,nes the automobile and the
autotruck for the stagnation In the
horse business and there you are-you
pay your money and take your choice.
Whatever is the reason, there are
not orders enough here this week SEEM
ingly to take more than half Of the
500 fresh horses on hand. Concessions
In price do little to effect sales Such
buyers as have orders seem to be WILL
ing to pay late rates for their goods.
but the volume of their trade Is not
great enough to absorb the receipts.
Prices are substantially without
change. but with downward tendency,
trend OF business being distinctly in
favor Of buyers. Top so far reported Is
$685., with but one at that price Cen
eral run OF farm geldings make from
$40 to 1910. bulk about $40 or be-
low. farm mares $3.50 to SEQ, bulk
$3.50 to $3.50 for good sorts.
