What the Nebraska Farmers Are Doing When the magazine writers go hunt ing for a story about big things in ag riculture. they have the habit of go-1 ing to Kansas: for the reason that! Kansas has been unusually progres sive in advertising her resources: and Kansas has done great things with her 1,734.463 people on the farms and her 15,(40.550 acres under cultivation, j But in 1910, Nebraska with less than two-thirds of the population and about half of the cultivated acreage beat the Sunflower state to a frazzle, for instance: Kansas produced an average per capita value of agricultural products of *167.32; Nebraska an average of *277.75. Did you get that? Read it again. Kansas produced from her farms wealth to the amount of *11.2$ per cultivated acre: Nebraska farmers turned out *25.47 per cultivated acn.1 And that's different. Remember it. ! Kansas produced from her total ag ricultural and live stock business #316.00 per capita. Fine! Nebraska produced from her total live stock and agricultural business *451.00 per capita. And that's different again. Don't forget it. To make it plain. Nebraska, with just about half as many folks on her farms, beat Kansas *3.242.347 in the total of wealth production: a matter of #135.00 per capita. Tiie F. S. census says that the av erage wealth of the farmers of Kan sas was *1.175 per capita in 1910: Ne braska farmers had *2,360 per capita. That's #5.925 more of wealth for every family of five on the farms of Nebras ka thanforsimilarfamilies in Kansas. There's a reason for these things. Nebraska is a good state to live in.
