COTTON VS. OTHER CROPS.

The crop report issued by the bul eau of crop estimates of the fed eral department of agriculture on April 9 furnishes, in figures, the best argument yet advanced why farmers should grow less cotton and more corn, oats, potatoes, hay etc. This report makes q comparison of prices paid for farm products in Arkansas and the average in the United States It shows that Arkansas farmers re ceive less for their cotton than the general average, while they are paid more for corn, oats, etc.
 N To illustrate: while the average price paid. to producers of cotton in the United States this year has been S.1 cents the price paid to Arkansas growers has been 79 cents: Last year the average in the United States was 11.9, while the Arkansas farmers re- ceiyed only 11.3.
 On the other hand, while the aver age price paid over the United States in 1915 to producers of corn was 75.1, the price paid to Arkansas farmers for corn was 93. In 1914, the general average was TOT, and the Arkansas price was S2, or more than Il cents more.

Bulletin Issued by United States Gen. sus Bureau Shows Arkansas Has Gained Mere Than Any Other State
 From Migration.

Tennessee has lost more than it has
 gained in negro population through interstate migration, and Arkansas has gained more in negro population than any Southern state as a result of interstate migration, says t. M Gates, the Washington correspondent of the Memphis Commercial Appeal An increasing tendency toward home ownership, a marked increase
 in the percentage of school attend ance, a pronounced decrease III the percentage of illiteracy, decrease in the mortality rate and an increase in the proportion of church membership are among other striking facts brought out in a bulletin on the ne- gro population of the United States, issued by the census bureau today. There are 43 cities each of which
 had more than 10000 negro inhabi-
 tants in 1910. Ten of these lie out side the southern states. The total colo1 ed of these 43 cities was l,34l, ,4te, the census bureau says.
 Washington stood at the head ol the list with a negro population of 94, AS, while New York, New Orleans,
 Baltimore and Philadelphia occupied
 second, third, fourth and fifth places with 9l,7J9, S9,262, S4.749 and S4, 4o9, respectively. The greatest gain was
 shown in Birmingham, Ala, 215.6 per cent. New York and Philadelphia showed rates of increase of o1.2 and s4.9 per cent, respectively"
 Other salient facts brought out oy the census report were as follows:
 The negro population of the United States increased from 757 POS, or l9.z per cent of the total population m 1790 to 9,S27,76 or 10.7 per cent or the total in 1910. The largest negro population Ill any state in 1910 Was in Georgla, r. 11S.9s7. Mississippi was second With 1 0o9 4S7 and Alabama third, with 908,2S2.

Minnesota is not only an agricultural state.
1t produces more iron ore than any other
State in thu Union and in fact more than 63
per cent of the iron ore of the entire nation
each year, or nearly one-fourth of all the iron
ore in the world. The assessed valuation of
Minnesota'H mining properties so far dis
covered is 81 ,468,OO0,00O which then is one
half of it's actual value. Of this the State OF
Minnesota owns approximately ten per cent
which is leased to mining companies at 25
cents per ton. The proceeds from these
mines go into the States Permanent Trust
Funds. Only their accumulations can be ex-
pended by the State Legislature and these
only in the manner prescribed in the laws
regulating our Trusts Funds.

100000 ACRES OF
LAND ARE FOR SALE
By j. A. O. Preus, State Auditor.

The State of Minnesota still has more than
100000 acres of land for sale. Its policy is
as nearly as possible to sell lands to actual
settlers. The Legislature has determined
that monthly sales must be held in nine diff
ferent counties in Northern Minnesota at the
Court Houses. 800 acres can be sold to any
Individual and all lands are sold at public au-
ctlon. Fifteen per cent cash must be paid
down and the balance may be paid any time
within forty years at four per cent interest
The lands are largely cut-over lands and
some of them are swamp lands. Many of
these lands are at reasonable proximity to
markets, schools and churches Legal de-
scriptions of the lands for sale may be OBJ
tanned from J. A. O. Preus, State Auditor.
The lands this year have sold on an aver
age of between $500 and $500 per acre. The
minimum appraisement on any parcel is $500
per acre. Minnesota has 10000 farmers
and the average size of each farm is 100
acres and it's average value about $4,000.
Minnesota has larger school fund than any
state in the Union. The proceeds from all
school lands and swamp lands 60 into the
Permanent School Fund.
The trust funds at the present time as
follows:

know of no better criterion of the wealth
and prosperity of all classes of the people of
Minnesota than that of the automobile In
1907, when the Legislature first provided for
state registration of automobiles, 1000
were registered. The following year it
jumped to $4,000. In 1909 the registration
was $4,000; in 1910 the registration 28,5OO;
and the year 1911 closed with registration
of about $4,000. The 1911 Session of the
Legislature provided for three year period
beginning with Jan. 1, 1912, and when this
department closed business on December 81,
1914, the records showed there were $500
licensed automobiles in Minnesota and in ad-
dition there were large number in the
hands of dealers licensed under what is
known as the Dealers Registration Act. The

new triennial period commenced on January
1, 1915, and at this writing, September ~,
1915, the registration exclusive of dealers
has reached $4,000, and there are undoubted-
ly thousand or two in the hands of the 400
dealers throughout the state that have either
not been sold or applicationes hav not been
received at this department.
The Wall Street Journal, the orthodox fl
nancial paper of the United States, publish
ed in New York City, in an issue circulated
during the month of August, made the state
ment that the average price of an automobile
owned throughout the United States is
about $3.50, over one-half of the cars pro-
duced selling for less than $500. Using this
responsible statement as basis, the people
of Minnesota now have 100000 invested
in automobiles. 1t can be positively stated
that there is practically little or no charge as
a credit against these machines and that the
entire item is one that is exclusive property
of the owners.
This stupendous amount and growth shows
better the prosperity of Minnesota than any
other one item that1 can think OF and in
asmuch it has come from the soil of the state
within the last eight years, people from other
states desiring to invest in Minnesota real
estate and make homes in this state, will not
ponder long in their reflection as to actual
wealth of the soil of the state. From the ap-
plications on file at this office | can make a
safe estimate that about thirty percent of the
total registration has been made by the farm
ers of Minnesota This latter registration
as whole does not cover many Of the high
priced machines but it does show safe, con-
servative policy on part of the farmers
in purchasing good and durable machines and
machines that will answer all purposes.
At the present time the registration comes
largely from that section of Minnesota south
from direct line across the state from
Brainerd, but the applications from the
Northern section are coming in quite rapid
ly AMI indicate that rapid strides are being
made in both the agricultural wealth Of that
section as well as in the improvement of the
roads.
Minnesota is now about the ninth state in
the Union in the number of licensed automo-
biles. The people of the state are calling for
them faster than they can be delivered from
the factories. Before 1915 closes Minnesota
will have very near 100000 machines reg
istered and before the triennial period closes
on December 81, 1917, the people will own
in the neighborhood of 100000 machines,
equivalent to about one machine to every sew
enteen citizens of the state.
