How Rich We Are

The people of the United States pride them
selves on their national wealth.
Seldom, however, do we have the figures put
before us so succinctly that we can grasp the
magnitude of our wealth.
The Treasury Department, in giving publicity
to the Libery Loan, calls attention to the item
lied factors of our wealth.
There are twice as many cattle and swine in
the United States as in any other country, with a
total value of live stock products of more than
S4oo0,OOO,Ooo,
Our corn crop is ten times greater than that
of any other country.
Our wheat crop, though not all we had hoped
for is bigger than that of any rival.
Our cotton output is more than half the
worlds supply.
Our coal production of nearly half billion
tons is twice that of Great Britain, our nearest
competitor.
Our oil production of nearly 300,000,o00 bar
rels is twice that of Russia, which ranks second
Our output of iron and steel is twice that of
Germany our nearest rival
We produce more copper than all of the re-
mainder of the world put together.
In manufactured goods last year. our output
was more than $36,O0Oo00,0o0.
Our balance of exports over imports amount
ed to over S3,00OOOO,0O0.
Our gold reserve of about S3,0OoOo 900 is
more than one-third of the worlds total.
Our wealth is more than $4,000 for every
man, woman and child in the country.
Our railroad mileage is more than double that
of all Europe.
The total wealth of Great Britain, France and
Germany amounts to 1927, 500 100000. That
