Tltat i&rthet . - . w m watvu cW onust, the baby crop .for 1910 will De worm the -- enormous sum of ; $4,887,000,00(1,' Even figured on tne oasis ot former . valttions, now acknowledged to be too low, the figure would amount to nearly , Nor are these figures fanciful or pasea .on sentimental values. They represent as nearly as possible the economic value to the United States, based on potential produc- tive capacity, of -the 2,250,00 ba- - uies wnica it is estimated will con stitute this year's crop." Accord ing to tne latest figures the value of each newcomer is $362 a pound, or $2,172, , for the average six pound youngster, - giving a total vaiue ot nearly $5,000,000,000, or sicany mree times tnat of the corn crop. ; ;-- - . i Detailed information concerning the baby crop, its distribution, variation in different localities and the like, while naturally not so complete as similar data cover ing the corn crop, is far more in ' terestihg." As miffht be exneftterL XT. -ry t , - Z . iew xorK, oeeause of its greater population, produced the greatest numoer of babies of any one state Jast year, with 200,865, or nearly one tenth ot tne total. It was not, however, the leading state if the increase in babies to each 1,000 of tne population be taken into ac count. Figured on this basis, North Dakoota heads the list with 36.5 births," closely followed by '33.7 and Texas with 32.9. At the 'other end of teh list come Maine .'with 17.6, and New Hampshire, vith 18. But in spite of the low ratio for te New England States, - the figures show that the propor tionate increase over the" preced- - ing decade was greater there than in any other group of states. In general terms however, the figures indicate that the West is the best territory-for babies, just as rt is the biggest corn producer. No hard and fast rule can be laid ! down, because of the seemingly . unexplainable discrepancies which occur, as, for instance, in th6 case of West Virginia jnd Virginia. The excess of the birth rate over the death rate in the former is 28.4 per 1,000 population, while in the latter it is only 7. ' J Perhaps the most anomalous fea ture concerning the baby, crop is that while it .continues to increase, the size of . the average family decreasing. In 18870 the number : of persons constituting an aver-; age family. was 5.1 persons. In 1880 it had decreased to 5 j in 1890 to 4.9 and in JL900, to 4.7. HoWj then, doe's the baby crop con tinue to increase T . ; . Undeniably, Uncle Sam is con serving his baby" crop. The birth rates in Italy, Hungary and Aus tria, for example, are air higher than in this counrty, butlthe ex cess of births oyer deaths is far lower tittle more than one half, indeed, of the figures here. In a word, Uncle Sam is saving his ba bies, and the manner in which he is doing it is one of the most remark able stories of progress ever written. - There is, of course, no Federal Secretary of Infants, such as the Secretary of Agriculture, who ad vises farmersln thousands of pam plets yearly concernnig the best methods to pursue in raising crops. But all over the country, in labor atories and universities, thousands j of physicians are carrying on the fight in behalf of the baby crop. Experiments on animals formTthe- rbasis of all this advance, for since the discovery of anaesthetic and aseptic surgery, results have been obtained which otherwise, would ... have been impossible,.
