Plenty of Room Yet There is no immediate danger of the United States becoming overcrowded, for Joseph Nimmo, Jr., shows in Frank Leslie’s paper that since independence was achieved the United States Government has been the largest owner of arable land on the earth. The total area of the “public domain,” sold and unsold, amounts to 1.849,072,587 acres, and constitutes 72 per cent, of the total area of the United States, including Alaska. About 700,000,000 acres of land have been sold and donated, about 1,150,000,000 acres remain unsold. As the area of Alaska is 369,530,000 acres, the area unsold exclusive of that territory is about 780,000,000 acres.
