Agriculture 
A Ghicur TRE is second to manufac- 
turing in the production of wealth in 
the Northwestern states. 
Improved land in farms increased from 
ten million acres, in 1900, to over twenty- 
seven and one-half million acres, in 1920; 
and the value of this land increased from 
five hundred and two million dollars in 
1900 to three billion five hundred and 
seventy-eight million in 1920. Production 
increased from $65,298,613 in 1900 to 
$555,566,943 in 1920. 
The Northwest is primarily adapted to 
the production of livestock, cereals, forage 
and fruit, and there are yet undeveloped 
millions of acres of potentially productive 
land. 
In 1925 the Northwestern states pro- 
duced twenty-four per cent of the apples, 
twenty-three per cent of the wool, and 
seventeen per cent of the wheat crop of 
the United States.
