  of 
  about 
  3,150,000, 
  if 
  we 
  take 
  the 
  area 
  proportionate 
  to 
  that 
  of 
  

   New 
  York, 
  with 
  the 
  population 
  proportionate 
  to 
  that 
  of 
  the 
  States 
  

   themselves, 
  there 
  would 
  have 
  been 
  in 
  these 
  States 
  in 
  1900 
  over 
  

   40,000,000 
  persons. 
  Undoubtedly 
  these 
  figures 
  would 
  be 
  modi- 
  

   fied 
  on 
  as 
  large 
  an 
  area 
  as 
  New 
  York, 
  but 
  we 
  should 
  neverthe- 
  

   less 
  expect 
  a 
  considerably 
  larger 
  population 
  in 
  New 
  York 
  than 
  

   actually 
  exists. 
  

  

  Relation 
  of 
  values 
  of 
  agricultural 
  products 
  to 
  waterpower 
  

   values. 
  We 
  may 
  now 
  consider 
  the 
  relation 
  of 
  values 
  of 
  agricul- 
  

   tural 
  products 
  to 
  waterpower 
  values. 
  The 
  following 
  tabulation 
  

   from 
  the 
  Twelfth 
  Census 
  may 
  be 
  taken 
  to 
  show 
  that 
  in 
  Massachu- 
  

   setts 
  and 
  Rhode 
  Island 
  the 
  value 
  of 
  farms 
  has 
  increased 
  in 
  some 
  

   proportion 
  to 
  the 
  development 
  of 
  waterpower. 
  The 
  reason 
  for 
  this' 
  

   may 
  be 
  found 
  in 
  considering 
  that 
  in 
  a 
  manufacturing 
  community 
  

   the 
  demand 
  is 
  for 
  the 
  products 
  of 
  gardens 
  rather 
  than 
  for 
  grain, 
  

   hay, 
  etc.
