TUE COXniTIOX AND VALUE OF THE LANB X There are other and even more striking tests by which to measure the relative con- dition of the different States. Take, for instance, the area under cultivation in each section. In 1860 the amount of unimproved ! arable land within the slave States waa ; 162, 233, 121 acres. In nineteen free States there was 71, 871, 951 acres not under culti- vation. This shows a difference in favor of the latter of 87, 461, 170 acres. At lea^t one half of these unimprove...d lands were situated in the Western States, not long opened for settlement. During the ten years preceding 1860, 'there had been an increase in the un- improved area of tlic South of at least thirty million acres. This shows the wasteful char- acter of Southern agriculture. The value of the real estate in the two sections is a still more forcible illustration. Its entire value in the South was. In 18G0, $2, 410, 'JG1, 8'J7, while that of the North was $-1, 501, I44', 1G2, nearl}' twice as much.
