CAPITA PRODUCTION
South Dakota's 1919 Per Capita Produc.
tion Shows Everybody's Share
One Thousand Dollars.

There was per capita production
from crops in South Dakota of 81 600
for every man, woman and child in the
state, according TO the estimate Of II o.
Herbrandson of Waterfowl, field agent
for the United States department of az
riculture, in statement just made. lie
says:
''The preliminary survey Of South Da
kota's and the nations livestock supply
having been completed by the United
States bureau of crop estimates, while
the aggregate crop values were secured
in December, this is a propitious time
10 reflect on the states agricultural
wealth.
lhe season Of 1919 was not so favor
able for grain and especially cereal
crops in south Dakota as VAS the season
Of 1918, probably excepting corn which
was not so large crop as the previous
year but Of much higher quality. In
1918 South Dakota rose to the eleventh
place in the value Of crops produced in
the United States. In 1919 her place is
the tweuty-second. 1t is well to bear in
mind that such rank is hardly doing
the state Justice, since the size or area is
not given consideration.
About $500, 100000 Produced.
Comparing the wealth of South Da
kota with that of the entire United
states We appreciate the h1uutifu re
turns to the farmers Of this state. The
total aggregate wealth produced by l3
crops for the year 1918 in the United
States was found to be 81, ,l27 1858, 900;
in 1919 this valuation was increased,
largely because of the increased vaua-
tion Of The different commodities rather
than increased production, to Sl2, ,42l =
$4,000. The live stock valuation for
those two years were respectively,
$8, ,S27, Sg4, 900 and IS, SOL ,443OOO. Ifper-
milted to assume Hypothetical figure Of
no million population for the nation,
This would indicate that in 1913 the
United States produced wealth Of
slOl.l6 in crops per capita and $50 25 in
live stock per capita, or total OF SlSl4I
In 1919 the per capita production in
crops was SIP 92 andin live stock 81. SO,
or a total production of Sl9O.75 for each
man, woman and child in the nation
Comparing this with our own state OF
South Dakota, We find that the crop pro
duced in 1918 amounted to 1857 ,522 600
and in that year the live stock amounted
to S25l, ,SG7 900 or total per capita pro
duction OF about 81 ,0S4 In 1919 ScGth
Dakota's crops were not quite So bounti
tnl and the total valuation was placed al
S279, j24 900 with live stock valuation
of S2l4, ,93l 900, averaging $1,000 even
for each man, woman and child in the
state. This is assuming that the states
population is approximately 100000 as
several authorities have claimed
1T is true that it is hardly fair to say
that the live stock valuation is all new
wealth created in the one year, as We
know this is impossible. The compaf-
son is merely made for Illustrative pur.
poses. This high per capita production
5 Of course attained because Of the fact
that such large percentage of the states
population is farmers and since we have
no large cities.
