WASHINGTON. Sept. Cmiui Dlreetw
XMirand gava out today an Important ad
vance statement from tha -bureau of tha
census containing additional figure and
detail of tha' agricultural statistic of com-
;. Unantal ' Unltad fltate collected at . tha
thirteenth decennial ceosu. April 16. 1910.
It ! baaed on a preliminary comparative
summary by Dr. La Grand Power, chief
tatlctldan for the division of agriculture
In the bureau of the cenaus. and It sup
plement a brief preliminary notice issued
. In July last.
The fig-urea here gtasa are subject to
revision. Inasmuch as there ta a small
number of farms, tha returna for which
are Incomplete, which will be Included In
tha final tables. Such addftlona. however,
will not materially modify either the
amounts or tha rales hare stated. Further
Information with regard to tha acreage
and yields of tha various crop and tha
number and valua of domestic animals In
tha Unltad States will be published later,
whan tha tabulation of the material has
bean completed.
Slow Increase In Number ot Farms.
During; tha ten years which followed the
census of 1900 the- population of the United
Btates Increased 21 per cent, but the num.
ber of farms did not keep pace with the
-increase in population. From 8.737,373 In
. 1900 "tha number grew to .340.$7, an in
crease of 802.986, or 1H4 per cent. For the
whole United States this la the lowest
rata of increase : which has been . noted
since tha number of farms was first re
corded In 1860. Measured by number of
farms, agriculture exhibits a diminished
rate of Increase, and In large areas of the
country Is. practically stationary.
Land in Farms. I
Tha small growth in the number of
farms has not been compensated by any
growth In the alze of farms, the average
number of acres In farms having decreased
from 146 in 1900 to 138 In 1910. The Increase
In the total acresge devoted to agriculture
was only 85.137.000 acres. . or 4 2 per cent.
The actual area In farms was 838,592,000
acres In 190O and 873,729.000 acres in 1910.
Increase la Improved. Land.
' Improved land, however increasd more
rapidly than the total (arm acreage or
number of farms, tha advance -being from
414.449.000 acrea In 1900 to 477.44S.O30 acres la
1910, a gain of 62.949.000 acrea. or tf.J pr
cent in ten years. Tet this percent4 'of
increase was only about two-thirds the
growth of population, showing that at tha
best tha number of acre under cultivation
1 and used ffr . the production of crop had
not kept pace with the increase In the
number of people. '
Increase la Farm Values.
: In striking contrast with the slow growth
in the number and acreage of farms and the
area of improved land during tha ten years
Is the enormous rise which has occurred
in the value of farm property. Farm land..
exclusive of buildings, which was valued
at fas.O58.ong.O0O in 1900, had mora than
doubled before 1910, being then returned
ss having a value of t38.3S6.77O.O0O. The
enormous Increase here recorded of 115,328,
762,000 represnts an advance of ' 117.4 per
cent in the value of all land In farms.
It is immediately evident that the rela
tively small Increase In the total acreage
of farm land, 4.2 per cent, was one of the
least Important of the factor causing the
great Increase in aggregate value. The
average valua of farm land per . acre In
creased from $15-57 in 1900 to $32.49 In 1910,
a gala of HS.B2 per acre, or 108.7 per cent
Of tha factors contributing to this in
crease in- tha average value of land the
most Important Is doubtless that of advan
cing farm price of agricultural products.
This has increased tha income-producing
power of the farm and correspondingly in
fluenced tha selling price or value ot farm
land. It is probable also that in calcu
lating the . value-; of farm lands it has
. become customary to capitalize the Income-
producing power at a lower rat of lnterat
than formerly. This might be true, despite
the fact that interest rates in general hive
probably not fallen, because of the rduction
in tha risk of the farming business.
"Another . important factor operative in
increasing the total and average value of
firm, land throughout the United States
has been th cost of improving what was
previously' unimproved land. Including
the expenditure for the Irrigation of dry
land, draining . swamp land, tiling and
constructing surface drain for wet lands,
removing stones nd stumps, clearing
away brush, breaking up prairie land, build.
- log fences, and making other Improvements
exclusive of buildings. According to the
census report these changes affected 62.949,-
000 acrea In addition the farmers ex
pended much labor and money for In creas
ing the Improvements of various kinds
upon land, which had been reported as
improved in 1900.
.Allied to tha foregoing expenditure were
those mad by the farmers in the form
of taxes for securing Improved roads, build.
Ug bridges, constructing school houses,
and , making other community improve
ment, which have doubtless increased farm
values.
Tha fact that desirable free land ha
practically disappeared, resulting in an in.
crease in the number of buyers, and that
this number has been augmented by an
Increased demand for home tn th open
country, ha caused an upward movement
in value. At the same time the owners
of farm lands are less willing to sell than
formerly, ppreciating a they do the
lower cost of living in the country a well
as the growing Importance of land owner
ship. They place a value on the farm as
a home a well a a place to work for
a living.
Ia connection . with the Increase la the
average value of farm land. It is Interest.
lng to note the fact that in J he past dec
ade, a for many decade previously, there
ha been a much more rapid Increase ia
urban than in rural population. The popu
lation classed by the census bureau a
urban constituted 44 1 per cent of the total
in 1910 as compared with 40.1 jer cent la
1800. Ia several state, and la many coun
ties in other state, there has been aa act.
ual decrease la rural population sine 1900,
. and In moat areas, where this is true there
has been a remarkable increase in values
of farm land. '
Farm Ballalaas ana afacnlaerr.
it is aot alone farm land which, baa in
creased in value. Farm buildings valued
in 1900 as 3.556.64O,00O have increased to
$6,294,737,000 in 1910, a growth of 77 per cent.
Implements and machinery show a corre
sponding, but slightly less pronounced
growth In value. In 1900 they represented
r49.776.000 and In 1910 $1,262,022,000, an in
crease in value of 68.3 per cent,
Expenditures (or Labor and Ferti
lisers. ' Hired labor on the farms ot the United
States absorbed In 1900 an expenditure of
$367,332,000 and In 1910 $646,812,000, an Increase
of 80.6 per cent. Expenditures for fertlllbers
re much less important, being In 1910 $U4.
377,000. Compared, however, with an ex
penditure of $53,432,000 In 1900, this repre
sents 113.9 per cent.
White and Colored Farmer.
The number of farms operated by white
farmers waa 6.422,892, or 85.5 per cent of all
farms, while the number operated by negro
and other nonwhlte farmers waa 917,465, or
14.5 per cent of the whole. There Is a slight
Increase in the proportion of farms operated
by them ten years ago being 13 4 per cent.
Whether this Increase in the proportionate
number of negro farmer mean any in
crease In the relative extent of farming
conducted by negroes can not be determined
until further tabulation are made showing
the size of farms, by color of farmer.
Ownership and Tenure,
The total number of farms operated by
owners, including those owning only part
of tha land operated by them, was 3,933,705
In 1910, aa compared with 3,653,823 in 1900, an
Incerase of 280,382. The total number oper
ated in 1910 by tenants waa 2,349,254. as
against,, 2,034.964 in 1900, an Increase of 324.290.
The number conducted by hired managers
waa 57,398 in 1910 and 69.065 in 1900. a de
crease of 1,687.
The farms operated by owners constituted
62 per cent of the whole number of farms
In 1910 and 63.7 per cent in 1900; those oper
ated by tenants 37.1' per cent in 1910 and
35.2 per cent In 1900; and those conducted
by managers, 1 per cent at both censuses.
In 1S90 the percentage of farma operated
by owners. Including .those conducted by
managera, waa 71.6 per cent. This indicated
that the decrease in the prooprtlon of farms
operated by owner waa lees during the
last ten years than during the preceding
ten years.
Farm Mortgages.
Of the total number of farms, 3,933,706,
operated In 1910 by owners, there were
2.622,341, or 66.7 per cent, reported as "owned
free of debt," while L311.364, or 33 3 per cent.
were reported' as mortgaged. There were
45,975 farms for which no mortgage report
was secured, and these are included In the
farms reported a free , from debt". The
census bureau has no Information respect
ing the indebtedness In farm leased to
tenants or operated by managers.
In 1900 information was secured con
cerning; the . '.'owned farm homes." At
thtX time' -2,546,239, or 70 per cent, were
reportad-'sa frea from debt," while 1,098,.
164, or 80 per cent, were reported as mort
gaged. There were 126,059 farm In 1900 for
which no, mortgage report was secure!,
and these are indued with the farm
homes reported aa "free from debt." There
has thua been a considerably greater in
crease in tha number of mortgaged farms
than -in the1 number of farms free from
mortgage. The increase in the proportion
of mortgaged farm from 1900 to 1910, how
ever, waa Ieaa than that from 1890 to 1900.
Farms Distributed Into Stae Group.
The statement relating to farma distrib
uted according to size groups show that
those "ninteen acres and under," num
bered 829,303 in 1910 and 673.870 In 1900, a
gain of 155,433; those "twenty to forty-nine
acres," 1,410,992 In 1910 and 1.257,496 in 1900,
a gain of 153,496; those "fifty to ninety-
nine acre." 1,435.743 in 1910 and 1,366.038
In 1900, an Increase of 69,705; thoee ',100
to 174 acre," 1,512,235 in 1910 and 1,422,262
in 1900, a gain of 90,973; those "175 to 439
acres," 976.597 in 1910 and 868,020 in 1900,
an Increase of 106,577; those "500 to 999
acres." 124.883 in 1910 and 102.526 in 1900, a
gala of 22.357, and thoei "1,000 acres and
over." 49,604 in 1910 and 47.160 in 1900, a
gain 'of 2,444. The farms of each size
group thus Increased in abaolut number,
but tha increases were at different rate,
so that there are some appreciable changes
in tha proportion of farm falling iij the
respective classea.
i
Acrea are .Group Proportions.
Ot the whole number of farms those
nineteen acre and .under" formed 13.1 per
cent la 1910 and 11.7 per cent in 1900; those
twenty to forty-nine acres." 22.2 per cent
In 1910 and 21.9 per cent in . 1900; those
fifty to ninety-nine acres," 22.6 per cent
In 1310 and 23.8 per cent in 1900; those "100

1900; those" "over 500 acres," 2.8 per cent
In 1910 and 2.6 per cent In i900. There has
thus been a alight relative decrease in the

WASHINGTON. Sept. . Census Director
Durand Issued today the first official
statement from the census bureau ' rela
tive to the statistics on Irrigation In Ne
braska. -It Is based on a preliminary comparative
summary submitted by Dr. Le Grand Pow
ers, chief statistician of the division of
agriculture in the bureau of the census un
der whose supervision it was prepared by R.
P. Teele. special agent in charge of irriga
tion. Thia summary shows for both 1909
and 1899 the number of farms irrigated,
the acreage Irrigated, the length of main
ditches, the total cost of irrigation sys
tems, and the average cost per acre irri
gated. It ahowa also, for the year 1909,
the acreage which existing enterprises were
capable of supplying, the acreage included
In existing projects, the number of inde
pendent enterprise, the length of lateral
ditches, numberof reservoir, capacity of
reservoir, number of flowing wells, number
of well pumped for Irrigation, the number
of pumping plant, engine capacity -of
pumping plants, acreage Irrigated with
pumped water and the average annual
cost .of maintenance and operation. The
acreage irrigated is classified by the type
of enterprise supplying water and by the
source ot water supply.
The act of congress of February 25. 1910,
under which the census of irrigation is
being taken, providea tor collecting full in.
formation concerning the location, char
acter and cost of Irrigation enterprise
under national, state or private control;
the acreage of land Irrigated; the price at
which land with water rights can be ob
tained, and tha quantity ot water used for
Irrigation. '
It should be noted that the figures are
subject to revision after mora complete
tabulation, but It Is not expected that there
will be any material modification of the
totals ot percentages reported.
Arreagre, Equipment and Cost.
The total number ot farma irrigated in
1909 was 1,852, against 1,922 in 1899, a decrease
of 80, or 4JL per cent. Within the same
period the number of farms in the state
had increased 6.6 per cent .. Neither item
changed . materially during the period cov
ered. The total acreage irrigated In 1909 was
256.350 acrea, against 148,538 acre In 1899, an
Increase of 107,812 acrea, or 72.6 per cent.
During the same period the improved acre
age on- farms" increased but 82. 1 per cent,
showing' that irrigation, development was
mors rapid than agricultural ' develop
ment generally. Tha area irrigated is but
I- per cent of the Improved land In farms,
and Ilea principally In the valley of the
North Platte river.
The total acreage which all enterprlsea
were capable of irrigating In 1910 was 429,-
725 acres, an excess of 173.375 acres, over the
area irrigated in 1909. The acreage Included
In projects either completed or under con
struction in 1910 was 680,633 acres, an ex
cess of 424.2S3 acres over the area irrigated
In 1909. This Indicates the area which will
be available within the next few years for
the extension of irrigation, and shows that
the area irrigated can be more than doubled
without the construction of additional
works.
The number of independent enterprises
reported In 1909 was 474. The total length
of ditches In 1909 was 2,725 miles, against
1.701 mile, in 1899, an Increase of 1,024 miles,
or 60.2 pel cent. The number of reservoirs
capacity of 2,097 acre-feet The number of
well pumped for Irrigation was sixty-one
and the number of pumping plants seventy
five. The engine capacity of pumping
plant was flfty-four horsepower, but
this doe not Include windmills, which
are counted as pumping plants. The
acreage irrigated with pumped water
was 157 acrea. The total cost of irrl
488,132, or 606.1 per cent The average cost
per acre In 1910 was $18.07. against $7.43 in
1899, an increase of $10.64 or 143.2 per cent
The average annual cost of operation and
maintenance per acre In 1910 waa $1.09.
Distribution of acreage irrigated In 1909
by type of enterprise and source of water
supply.
The acreage irrigated in 1909 has been
classified according to state and federal
law under which the works were built or
are operated, as follows: United States rec
lamation service, (act of congress, June
17. 1902). 30.536 acres, or 1X9 Aer cent of the
total; United States Indian service (various
acta of congress), 300 acres; Irrigation dis
tricts, 76.448 acres, or 29.9 per cent of the
total; co-operative enterprises, 79,005 acres.
