Population Of Counties.

Census returns from Illinois counties, the
first Of which have just been published, bring
proof, il any more lie needed, OF the trend to-
ward the cities. The great majority Of coun-
ties without large cities in their borders have
gone back in the last decade Loss in popuia-
ton ranges from few hundred up to a couple
of thousand. In reality it Is greater than the
figures show, for the normal increase by re-
production should be added to 1t. The smaller
cities and villages. as rule have more than
held their own, so the decrease all has fallen
upon the farming population. Through the
country everywhere empty houses are to. be
seen. s~ssss
The movement toward the cities Qust be
checked More land, not less, must be placed
under intensive cultivation if this country is
to feed itself. The back to the farm" move
ment is slow in coming but it is on the way.
The high price Of food will give it impetus
before another census is taken.
