 Yet with all this land available for agriculture, only IT per cent. of the states area was in crops, according to the last census while the percentage of estimated potentially tillable land which was in crops at last census re- ports was 35. In other words, there were 29 acres of potentially tillable land for each acre that was actually in erePs.
