C.-The farms w ot the X-nlted States de termine Its market bill. They fix tha prices of our bread and meat, and whether they are Increasing or decreasing in number and size determines our food ipply. In regard to this I have just i ad a long talk with E. Dana Durand, the director of the census. Dr. Durand is now compiling the millions of' figures furnished by the ceneua enumerators. He lias the latest data as to our national 1 resources, and a large part of his moft f importnnt information relates to the farms. I have before me a list of the questions which his agents have put to every farmer as they worked their way through the country counting the people. These questions are so- many that they would fill a page of this newspaper, and jhe answers give all sorts of Information. to the farms, Ihey report' their size and their value. They show what the buildings are, and what the farms cost. They tell you all about every tract that Is mortgaged, and also the expense of running eich farm and the profit there from. Others of the answers relate to the live stock of all kinds. The census men have counted the horseF, cattle and pigs, and the mules, goats and aheep aa veil.. Uncle Bam has even taken count of the chickens. He can tell you how many fowls we are rearing, und liow many eggs these fowls produce. He has full details as to the food crops, even to uch vegetables as onions, green peas nd celery. He has counted the orchards, and even the nuts. In fact, his Infor mation to so widespread that I cannot ttientlon the classes. Ma Million farms. There are some things however, that are very Important to know. One Is that our farm products are not Increasing as lapldly as our population. We have got to sell less stuff abroad or draw In our bait buckles a hole or so tighter. The people are Increasing faster than the mw-iber or farms, m ivi we nau a mim a than 6.O9D.O0O fnrm, end we now have ilv a little cer ,0l,000. The rate oi .ncrease hug been Just about 10 per cent, while the increase of our imputation has been more than twice that amount. It may be that our forms aro raising more, but If so our consumption haa greatly Increased, for our exports of farm prod ucts are rapidly falling. It Is certain lhat we have fewer farmers irom year i to year. I Mr. lu B steady urand's figures show that there 19 growth from the country to the 1S0 about 36 per cent of our pulatlon lived In the cities. In 1909 e than ) per cent were awny from the farms, and the city population today is 6 per cent higher. As It Is now, of every 100 men. women and children in the United States more than forty-six are living In towns and the percentage la o Increasing that it is only a question if time wliou half of all Uncle Bam s children will Ijn city dweller. This mc-ans that thcreuie more people to eat farm products and fewer people- to raise them. It n.uat niMrt hither prl-es. furthermore, there . no doubt that the cities are Kiowlufc at the expense of ihe country. Mr. I'urand tells mo that some of the chi jf brcud lands and market gardens of the I'i.ited Stutex nrf ste.idily df-creasins. so far as the number of fanners I concerned. This ix so of Iowa, Illinois and others of our Holiest farm i'l? state;!. In Indiana, Iowa and Mls houi'I more than half of the oounties have f illen off in population. The same condi tion holds true of eastern Kannas and o'hirs of our moit Important farmins tactions.

Chicago then Increased almost 29 per cent and Phila delphia almoat 20 per cent. .St. I.ouls has now nearly 709.000 people and Cleveland mors than JflO.OOO, while Kultlmore and Pittsburgh are close upon Cleveland's heelB. One of the fastest growing cltios of all Is Cleveland, which has gained al most 47 per cent in the last ten years. Not all of the growth comes from the farms. Sume Is by Immigration and some from other sources, but a great deal of It Is from the rural districts, anil It means a less number of rroducera and more of consumers. Indeed, wo are fast becoming a nation of cllv dwellers. We have 2.401 towns, each of which has more than 2,,-voO popu lation. We have three cities of moro than 1,000,000; five of which run from Boo.ooo to 1.000,000 In sire, and In the 230.000 grade there are eleven, while of those from 100.000 to 2.10.001) we find we have tlilrty onc. New York and Chicago have now twice as many people as the whole United States had 100 years ago and New Vork alone, has 1,000,000 more inhabitants than the whole nation had when tho first cen sus was taken, in 17D0. Indeed, It was not until 1S20 that we had -single city which contained 100.000. and In 1800 we had only thirty-four municipalities an told. At that time New York had flO.OOO; Philadelphia about 40,000; Boston, 25,000, and Baltimore' W.0M). The smallest Incorporated town mentioned In the lot was Erie, Pa., which then had only elghty-ono souls, no few that It would be a village In the census of today. From the Karnt to the Factory. Moreover, the figures giving the slse of the cities do not Indicate the cnor rnoua growth of our manufacturing cen ters. New York has factories all about it, and tho suburban towns dependent di rectly upon it give it a population of more than six millions. In this sense Boston has twice the size mentioned in the census, and Pittsburgh mav mmsihiv be bigger than it. Louis, The urban cen ter of Sun Francisco has radii ln luiiiri (0,000 people, while Philadelphia is ennr. mousiy larger than the census figures show. From this standpoint of urban centers we have at leant ten which are of Stti.o. and upwards In sIkc All these centers are rapidly Increasing in population, and the Increase is largely made up of the rush from the farms to the cities. The smaller cities have grown as well as the larger ones, and tha rush seems to be going on all over the tnlon. This Is so notwithstanding the popularity which farming seems to be having, and to the Increased profits which are coming there from. tncle Saiu, laf act urrr. We are, in fact, rapidly changing from an agricultural nation to a manufactur ing one. This Is shown by the figures which the census empires are now tabu lating. Our Industrial growth is such that a census of such matters Is taken every five years, and It would, perhaps puy to take It ofterier. Within the five yearn from 1!K to the Increase In the capital employed by our factories was 45 por cent and the cot of tha ma terials u.ed 43 per cent. The Balnrles and wages paid for manu facturing now amounts to more thun $4,0(X).0u0..)u0 a year, a sum which, If it could be divided, would be enough in i more than IJoo to every family In the United Htatei. Our manufactures sell for something like J20,000.cioo.0(l0 per annum, which would equal 1.000 per family. and th means an increase In such rales of 6,.UI,0UG00 within five years. The In crease has been 81 per cent In ten years and 40 per cent In five, It rrprcsenis a growth In manufacturing of more than 11.Oi0,OuC,o.j0 a year for the last five years. These figures are Imixjsslble to ci.mpre. hend, but they indicate 'something of the prorgefcs of this great bllllon-dollur na tion. lo you wonder that the farmers attracted by them? The wages of factories are puid without regard are the to whether it rains or shines, and they ex ceed In value the wages paid upon the furms. The increased cost of living is not taken Into account until after the man has become settled in the city. And so the rush goes on. The increase in the number of factory employes over 1H00 in already more than l.O'M.QA and we have now working In manufacturing establish ments betwven e.uuO.oOJ and 7,Ou0.(i0 men and women. This Is an increase of tu per cent over the number employed ten years ago. Nevertheless, farming is paying better than it r.as ever paid, and, strange to say, notwithstanding this loss of labor, the crops seem to be as large or larger than ever before. Our blgget ciops -of ail time were In KHO Mr. Durand r.'uhtiv su5. however, that the cenrus figuiea I 1 'tf 4h., . iV V.' of crops cannot be relied upon as Indi cative of the exact growth of our agri cultural empire, for the reason that each CPtiHUs represents but one year. ' For In stance, the census of 1910 shows the crop of the year In which the census enumer ator collected the material and that only. If it be a fat year the figures will bo very large, hut, on the other hand. If a lenn one, they may be considerably smaller. The census of 1S00 might have re corded a year which hud bumper crops, and that of 1910 one when famine was abroad In the land. Nevertheless, such figures are approximately correct. As to tho number of farms, these are not affected by such changes. The cen sus shows that we had In 1W something like 6,700,000 farms, and that just taken shows that we now have 000,000 more. We have, altogether, over 6,000,000, and the Increase la little more than 10 per cent. Tho figures also show that the slse of the farms is decreasing. The average holding of 1900 was Htt acres, whereas the average farm of today con tains only lis .acres. This is afflicted somewhat by the market gardens about the cities, where the holdings are very small. They are increasing in number, and they cut down the average else of the farm. Use More Machines. Notwithstanding the rush to the cities and the difficulty of getting farm labor the crops are as great or greater than ever' before, and they are bringing more money. Tho increuso In the quantity of food produced, notwithstanding tho loss of the labor, ronies from the greater use of farm machinery. This Is increas ing enormously. Hlxty-clght per cent more farm tools were employed In 1910 than in 1900, and that notwithstanding the increase In the number of farms was only 10 per cent. Tho value of the ad ditional machinery was ,nore than $M0,- UCO.OOO. Tne money Invested In such ma chines 'las Jumped frotn $700,000,noo to Jl.-JCO.OOO.OOO within the lat decade. Inrrrasr in Farm A aloes. The census shows tnat the value of the farms per acre has greatly Increased, and this, strange to say. Is largely the case In those states from where there has been most emigration to the city. It Is so In Illinois, Indiana and Iowa, states which have had a largo falling off in the farm population. Aa to the increase in the value per acre of land the United states over, that has more than doubled within the luft ten years. It has been ov;r Kla per cent, meaning a Jump from 15 to $32 per acre. The values in many parts of the country have been much In excess of the j present Income producing power, which looks as though the farmers were capi talizing their possibilities of tho future, Farming Is also more popular now than ever before, and many men are going Into It with the Idea of making it a I profitable buslnes. j Farm Mortgaars. I Only a few years ago it was said fliat I the United States was blanketed with ! farm mortgages. I talked with the dl- I rector of the census as to this matter. lie says that many of the farms are still 1 mortgaged, but that the present mort gages to a large extent represent im- j provemcnts or the purchase of more land, j whereas In the paht they represented the I debts Incurred in going Into farming and 1 to some extent in carrying on the busi- ' nous, which was then not so profitable, i Thu mortgages as now recorded by the ceiibus deal only with farms operated by 1 the twnerx. In 1S10 there were In the neighborhood of 4,O0,ui0 such farms , and more than two-thirds of them were fieei from debt. I doubt whether any other business lit the United states v. ;li show a better condition. Moreover, the prosperity of the farmei is evidenced by the increased use of ma chlnery, and by tl.o rise ill the value of the buildings and other l.nproveiiu i.ts. Within the last I' ll year more than $2,7u,u's.iiV worth of new biiildinsr huve been retted in other hmsIj, the farm buildings are 77 per cent bet ter than they were ten years uuu, e., that notwithstanding A per cent i, machinery is being employed.

There. has been a falling off of more than . 2.000,000 In the number of them within the last ten years, and this means almost 7 per cent of the whole. There" has been a decrease In our sheep, and, although I have not the figures, the same is probably true of the hogs. The cattle have Increased in value less than 10,000,000, or less than 1 per cent, in a decade, an lncreane which by no means corresponds with the Increase in the prices. There has been also an In crease In the value of the fheep, and that of our swln lias risen $168,000,003 during the last tan years. The census has not yet completed Its tabulation of poultry figures, but I am told ,that those of the egg crop will run high Into the millions and that In value they may almost equal the wheat crop. April IS, 1910, the enumerators found that there were in round numbers on" the farms of the United States 2SO.0O0.0O0 chickens, 3,000,000 turkeys. 3,000,000 ducks and about 4,000,000 geese, and that the fowls were worth, all told, something like fUAOOiisOUO. These figures might be compared with those of 1"00, but the day of that census was June 1, when nearly all the hens had their broods of little ones running about them, and when there were far more propor tionately than there were In April of that year, the time at which this last census was taken. Mr. Durand says that tho same consid eration has to be observed as to the figures of the two censuses relating to hogs. The 1910 census was taken In April, the 1900 census In June, which, considering that nearly all of the sows of the country have their litters in the spring, would give a far different result as to the hog crop had the 1910 census enumeration oc curred two months later. The products of our farms are best got ten from the Agricultural department. It takes a census every year, and Its average, therefore, represents both the fat and the lean years. Secretary Wilson has made a specialty of farm values, and, according to him, the money that comes out of our soil Is so great that If It could be saved and piled up It would In a few years suffice to buy the whole world. He figures that We have raised farm products worth $79,000,000,000 in the last twelve years and that we are now getting in the neighborhood of $9,000,000,000 a year out of the soli. We got Just under that figure in 1910. when the amount was $500,- ' n, i . i. n . . , , . 'u'c' '"r l" Ju"' re 5- No can learn, , ,, . , ,. ... ...
