rage density of population
states is 170 to the square mi
other 85,000,000 people are scattered
over 2,850,746 square miles so that
the average density in them is only
80 to the square mile.
The Constitution requires that tha
people le counted once in ten years
in order that representation in Con
gress may ho adjusted to the flj'it
uatinjr number of inhabitants of tne
several states. The drafting: of an
apportionment act is always a difficult
matter, and leads to angry contention;
' for, since some states have grown
faster than others, and 6ome not at
all, it is always necessary to choose
between increasing the whole number
in the House, so as not to reduce the
representation of any state, ana maK
ing such reduction in order not to
enlarge the whole number.
Strong objection is always made
to either course, but one of them must
be adopted. The House is already
so large that it is unwieldy. The hall
in which it meets is too small for
the present number of members, and
yet they are too many to do business
efficiently. On the other hand, it is a
serious matter to cut down the repre
sentation of the smaller states not
a grievance, for it is just, but a hard
ship. In the Congress just before the
Civil War the three states of north
ern New England had in all thirteen
members. They now have only eight,
although the present House has nearly
two hundred more members than that
of 1859 61. More and more the con
trol of the government is passing into
the hands of the vigorous,expanding
states of the northwest. It should
be so, but it would be a pity to have
the influence of the "original" states
become negligible. Youth's Compan

THE CENSUS
The Census Office assures us that
we have passed the hundred-million
mark in population. The figures are
most impressive. Thirty-one of the
states -have a population of more
than a million. Massachusetts alone
one of the original states and a
small one at that, is within a few
thousand of the total population at
the first census; and the three Pac
ific states of California, Oregon and
Washington young states made out
of acquired territory -have a com
bined population one and a half times
as great as the whole country had
at that time. Texas alone exceeds
our first enumeration by three quar
ters of a million. All fhe states,
with two or three exceptions, report
an increase. 1
Of course the census is not yet
finished. We have now little more
than the result of a first rough count
of human heads. There are scores of
particulars yet to be aiscertained.
The material for the details has been
collected, but needs still to be clas
sified and tabulated. For a year or
two we shall be learning about the
nativity of the people, their occupa
tions, how much they produce and
for study, as they are intended to do.
One of the incidental facts al
ready given out is that more than
half of the total population of the
country is "urban"; that is, lives in
incorporated places that have more
than 2500 inhabitants each. Although
the statement is undoubtedly correct,
n floes not mean quite all that it
seems to imply. We may call a town
that has 2500 inhabitants a city and
its people urban, but not all who live
within its limits are city people. In
many such places nearly one half are
rural, since they live far outside the
village, though within the corporate
limits of the town. Moreover, most
,of the large cities have rural su
urba that - support thousands . of
citizens who cannot be classed as ur
ban, although they live within the
city limits. Nevertheless, it is quite
true that the drift from country to
city is strong and increasing.
But, after all, only a comparatively
small area of the country approaches
congestion. Rhode Island continues
to have the greatest density of pop
ulation, 566 to the square mile. Mass-

Filbert Propagation Hastened
Time and cost of getting filbert
stock for new plantings can be saved
by layering the shoots that arise
from the base of the tree during the
Lfirst summer. Well rooted plants
have been obtained the first growing
season in O. A. C. station trials, and
are ready for setting in the orchard
the next year. This fs the saving of

North Bend After spending a
