So keen is the desive for farms and homes, 80 scarce the available lands, so numerous the lnndshungry, so sharp the competition for this remnant of a vast arable area, and so common the belief that the Cherokee Outlet affords the “last chance,” that thousands of people have been upon the border many weary months awaiting the opening. With the Cherokee Outlet divided among a fraction of the horde of home- ers, says the New York Sun, there 1l come anend tothe greatest and most peaceful movement of agricultural population the world has ever witnessed, and the future of American development will be hedged about by many of the limitations so long prevalent in other land. Heretofore when an American vrural aistrict became overcrowded the re- dundant_population could choose be- tween the neighboring town and the vacant western lands. Whenevar the difficultios attending the earning of a livelihood in the towns were incroased to an unpleasant degree by reason of the adoption of some [abor-saving de the discontented or displaced ar and laborer could, and to the public domain.

Involving much of time, labor and money, cither process implies a seaveity of good lands capable ed. of being reduced to cualtivation at low cost. The land susceptible of irrigation at limited cost is so limited in quantity, as we have recently shown, as to war- vant the assertion that the area which can be added, within the span of an average life, to the productive expanse by this process, is not _likely to double the 3,631,000 acres under irvieation in At the south, in Maine, in Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota, swamps of considerable extent will eventually be reclaimed: but, in themselves, such” ad- ditions to the productive arcas will af- ford conelusive evidence of the scarcity cultivable lands, of the increasing de- mand for farm products, as well gs of the abzence of any considerable avons which can be made productive at the cost which has attended the opening of farms upon the trecless plains Forty-four years wsure but tion of national lif et forty-four ye ago the gold seekers traversed an un- broken wilderness from the Mississippi to the western ocean. Since then Minn sota, Kansas, Nebraska, the two Da- kotas, the mountain states and those of the Pacific slope have been evolved from this wilderness and have aided im- mensely in quadeupling the productive avea of the nation. These states, with lowa and Missouri, have added to the cultivated area more than 000,000 acres sinee 1863, which year marks the fivst effort to estimate officially the area under cultivation, I idity with which the trans- mississippi regions huve been subdued and made productive is as wonderful us it is unrivaled in the progress of indus- trial life elsewhere. he progress made in reducing these wastes to eultivation, and the sudden eessation of this ph nomenal development about the midd. of the last decade (although move people than ever have,during the last cight years, been desirous of securing farms and homes upon: the public domain) afford abundant proof of the now prac- tically complete oecupuncy of the arable lands, Unfortunately, eensus tabulations did not, until 1880 and near the close of the period of greaten development, furnish @ measure of theincrease of cultivated areas and the progress made in subdu- ing the wilderness; nor do the census tables of 1880 and 1800 help us, ox opt inferentially, to determine the 56 of cultivated acres in the intor- yearperiods, nor are there slative | other data that @v so prior to 1863, Al though not wholly satisfactory, such duta exist in the reports of the Depart- | ment of Agrieulture for 1865 and suby quent years, and they, with the census sigures” of 1880 and 1890, enable us to measure the astounding strides made be- tween 1869 and 1884: to sce how sudden was the halt called when most of the lands of the Dakotas had been oceupied, and how slow the development has been since the practical oxhaustion of the raw material from which furms are wade.
