the sweet scent Of hyaeinths in the

He found himself bowling mechan-

left them the day before. He looked
into Amy's face. What had there ever
been in that woman, to whom he had
given all the passion of first love?

character worth above commercial

CHANGING DRIFT OF POPULATION

As one who was born and reared in
the country and whose every heart
yearnings are to live there close to
nature, yet who has under pressure of
unfavorable economic and political
condition, drifted to the city, say most
emphatically, that nearly all influential
city forces, lack the countrylife expert

derstand the fundamental causes of such

not qualified to judge the causes and

ONLY Il PER CENT OF
T|LLABLE LAND USED.
Department of Agriculture Estimates
s29OOO,OOO Acres of Land Is Not
Being Farmed.
TWENTY ONE PER CENT rs
NOT AGRICULTURAL LAND
Some Interesting Figures in Regard to
Situation Are Compiled by Ex-
pert of Department.
[uN1rEp rnEss 1nAsrp w1Rn. /

Washington, D. c., Jan. 15,-Only 27
per cent of the tillable land of the
United States is actually under culti-
walton, according to estimates of the
department of agriculture, based upon
reports 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 cannot 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 mayy modify
somewhat the present estimate for
those states.
The entire United States, excluding
foreign possessions, contains about
l,900,000,0OO acres. OF this area about
go per cent or 1,14O,OO0,0OO acres is
estimated to be tillable, that is, capa-
BILE 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.
For Pasture or Fruits.
36l,00,00O acres or 10 per cent are
estimated to be nOn.tillable, but valu-
able for pasture or fruits. Only 81 per
cent, or 399,OOO,O00 acres, was esti-
mated 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 3ll,0O0,O00 acres. This is
about 10 per cent of the total area or
about 27 per cent Of the estimated
potential tillable area of the United
States, excluding foreign possessions.
In other words, for every 100 acres
that are now titled, about 375 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, as the great Mis-
sissippi valley was the first to be
brought into such use. Extension Of
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
per acre as well as extension of area.
