Tlie above figures, most of wliich were taken direct from the books 

 of the different railroad companies doing an inter-state business, seem 

 to be the closest approximation possible to the actual facts, and while it 

 is not claimed that these figures are within even a million dollars of 

 correct, due to the impracticability of getting any but the leading items 

 of import, they still show that the state has decreased its imports 

 enormously within the last three or four years, and is thus waking to 

 the possibility and necessity of producing its own food supplies. Our 

 people are beginning to live at home.
