In average per acre Indiana leads all the States of the great wheat belt of the Northwest. and her average and acreage aro both rapidly increasing from year to year. Nor does the amazing fecundity of her fields fail in the proportionate production of any of the bounties or fruits of the earth. If there is no swift tide of immigration hunting homes within her borders it is simply because her lands are all taken up and to an unusual extent in a Western State occupied and cultivated by a permanent. thrifty. and vigorous population. More than 5.000 miles of railroad interlace the map of the State. Of her ninetytwo counties. the locomotive. on its track of iron and steel. is now transporting passengers and freight through all of them but three. thus converting the State into a familiar neighborhood. its most distant points being but a few hours from each other.
