GlONsrS HtTRMAlT statistics show (lint tho increased cost of living is in part duo to tho increased popu lation, without a corresponding increase in agricultural products. In tho past ton years, tho population increased 21 pur cent, while tho general increase in quantity of crops produced was but 10 per cent. 'Phis naturally results in the demand exceeding' tho supplv, forcing higher prices. The total value of tho crops of Continental United States in 1909 was, in round numbers, $5.! 87.000,000. as compared with $2,999,000,000 in 1S99. The increase was thus $2,1SS,000.000, or SU per cent. The total acreage of crops with acreage reports in 2909 was 31 1,293,000. In 1910. .7S.152.00() acres. The crops with acreage reports, therefore, occupied YA.S per cent of all land in farms and (S.:i per cent of the improved land. hue the total acreage of farms increased 4.8 per cent, the acreage in these crops increased 9.9 per cent. The total value of crops in 1901 was equal to $")9.(;i per capita of the population of the United States, while the value per capita in 1S99 was $39.40. There were 0,36.1,502 farms in the United States in .1910, so that the ....!.. i i - rwr . . .... ... v.uiic in crops oi isiuii was equal to an average of 803 per farm, -while the average value per farm for 1S99 was A large part of the extraordinary increase in the total value of farm crops between 1899 and 1909 is at- trimucu to higher prices, while the acreage of crops with acreage reports increased only 9.9 per cent, the value of such crops increased S2 per cent. Had the prices of 1S99 prevailed in .1909. the value of these crops would have amounted to $2,902,358,000, or an increase of onlv 10 per cent over 1S99, the average percentage of increase in prices being thus GC.G. Lhe increase was 21 per cent in the population of uiu umicu ouues uecwc.cn ujuu and WW. The increase m the number of farms from 1900 to 1910 was 10.9 per vv,.i. ,.. i.n.- nu-ii-jiftu 1U UK. nirai population wnicii in cludes places under 2,500 in addition to the agricultural population, was 11.2 per cent, the increase in urban popu lation being 34.S per cent. It is only by reason of a great reduction in the exportation of agricultural products that the increasing consumption of the countrv has been supplied. Despite the back to the soil propaganda, and the efforts constantly made to develope new land and increase production by more scientific methods, in all probability w.v. b'""iii vi iij.uiu.iuu 111 ciuiLinueio exceed rue in creased production of food stuffs with the result of a ftmicfmifll niLlinnrli'ti.. ...I.,., C it... .1 . , ..oiuuvt imiw.iauig pnimr uit producer and a corres ponding increase m land value. . The natural tendency of civilization is toward the city. Xo amount of effort can check it. Consequent lv the problems of the city in future are the problems of the mass of humanity. "With the revolution being wrought in transportation and m farming machinery is coming a revolution in the character of the city and of the countrv. Instead of being massed in a small district, the citv'dwellings will gradually cover the entire surrounding territorv. Im proved fanning machinery will more and more do awav with iarm labor and force pninlnvnimif in f.lrtf,.;i Subways and elevated trolley lines, pneumatic tubes and jiiuwiig siuewaiKs iy annihilating distance, make possible the substitution of populous suburbs, for crowded tene ments.. The increasing cost of nroduce will fmv.n nn,.h family to cultivate gardens about the dwellings and thus help solve the problem of existence, The surplus labor ol the countrv, eliminated by machinerv in existence and to be devised in the future, inevitablv drifts citywards tor employment. Intensified production, utilization of all available land, reclamation of arid waste, desert and swamp are imperative and inevitable. The farmer has the best of it, but must pav as much attention to transportation as the city man. "Transpor tation to the city or market is a primary problem he must solve to hold his own. The higher prices he receives for produce arc dependent upon his facility for marketing these products. The increasing cost of production must he olt-set by labor-saving machinery, elimination of vasie, more lutensitieu production. imi aAimiiin.. .fi,n.i His first effonqhould be to secure good roads,, so that cheap auto truck delivery systems may cut down his cost ul upurauoii.
