Iowa has advanced in rank accord
ing to population, from 18th to 14th
place among the states Of the union,
according to state officials. The state
census report, which will be issued
soon, shows that Iowa now has pop
ulation of 2,35S,066. The last feder-
al population estimate showed Iowa
to have 2,221,755 in 1914. The fed
eral estimate was made on the wrong
basis, assuming because the state lost
in population between 1900 and 1910
that it continued to lose. Iowa now
has passed Alabama, Kentucky,
North Carolina and Tennessee in
population 1t is almost up with
Missouri and Wisconsin. In farm
production, Iowa had maintained it's
place at tie head of the states. The
field crops for the last few years
amounted to 81, 00O,00O,O00 annual
ly. The prospects that 1916 will be
another billion dollar year are UNI
