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.
Paste it in your hat!
