The Two Billion Dollar state.

\
LET us stop talking about Iowa
as the Billion Dollar State, and
put the old commonwealth up
where she belongs, to the Almost
Two Billion Dollar State" urges
the current news bulletin of the
| Greater Iowa association.
The farm crops of Iowa in 1916
reached the amazing total value
of s597, 100000, in round num-
hers, which is just 100000
more than the average for the last
Item years. The 1916 record beats
l9l5 by sis9, 100000.
Add to This approximately 800,
600 600 as the value of dairy
products and $4,000, 900 as the
value of poultry and eggs, and
/ 81, 100000 as The value of wool
This gives us an actual farm Grip
production for the year of S748,-

II is Very proper to add another

Ieslimatcd produce of Iowa fac

duction of the essential things of

{ for one var.
OF course. the principal reason
for This remarkable increase is
the higher price obtained for
Iowa products, and yet, in some
instances the production was
greatly in excess of that of 1915
For instance, Iowa raised $1,000
600 bushels more corn in 1916
@ than 1915. The average price in
1916 was 81 cents a bushcl, as
