Farmers Asked to Acquaint Them
selves With the Requirements and
Make-up of the Censua Questions—
Only ths Uninformed Farmer Shloa
From the Census Enumerator—In
formation Used to Better Agricultur.
al Conditions.
(Prepared by the United State* Depart,
ment of Agriculture.)
In an advisory capacity, the United
States department of agriculture Is as
sisting the bureau of the census in
preparations for taking the 19*20 cen
sus. ' Because the farmer usually Is
busy in the early spring and also be
cause tfie farm herds and flocks are
not as replete at this period as at
some other season, the date of the
census has been changed to January
1, 1920,Jnstead of_Aprll JL_ Hence, on
January T fn^Slf sections of the coun
try enumerators will begin the work
of visiting the 7,000,000 farms peopled
by 35,000,000 rural citizens, who com
prise practically one-third of the total
population of the United States.
FarmeA ov'er the country are urged
by the federal department of agricul
ture to acquaint themselves as thor
oughly as possible with the t'equlre-
ments and make-up of the census ques
tions. Considerable figuring and ac
counting must be done by the farmer—
although the computations are in na
respect as complicated as those essen
tial in figuring his income-tax return—
to answer accurately and Tally the
questions which will be put to hiv by
the enamerator. Many of these ques
tions cover subject matter heretofore
not Included. As the statistics obtain
ed from the agricultural census will
largely determine the future land poli
cy of the federal government. It la
every farmer’s duty to make Individ
ual answers as accurately as possible.
Such Information Involves some little
study on his part previous to the ap
pearance of the enumerator.
It is only the uninformed fanner
who shies from the census enamerator
as though he wefe an objectionable
book agent. Others are glad to aid
this work of assembiiiig specific facts
and figures about all the farming oper
ations and farms of this country, since
they are aware that this information
Vs used directly for the promotion and
development of better agricultural con
ditions througboat the country.
New Questions in Summary.
The agricultural census statistics
are divided into facts covering farm
tenure; farm acreage; farm encum
brances ; farm values; farm expenses;
uses of the land in 1919; drainage
crops produced in 1919; live stock
maintained, including an enumeration
of the various numbers of each class
and grade on every farm; farm fa
cilities, such as tractors, automobiles,
trucks, and other farm conveniences;
co-operative marketing; pure-bred ani
mals maintained; fruits; nnts; and
forest products.
Information will be secured which
will enable the United States depart
ment of agriculture to figure up the
length of the “agricultural ladder”—
how long it takes the young farmer t)
learn the rudiments of his trade, so
that he is able to graduate from the
position of hired man to that of cash
or share tenant, and later on to change
from tenant into owner. Furthermore,
tile name and address of the owner nf
each piece of land in the United States
will be obtained. This Information will
be secured by new questions, such as:
How many years, if any, did you work
on a farm for wages? How many
years have you been, or were you, a
tenant? How many years have you
farmed as an owner? How long have
yoU operated this farm? If yon rent
ail of this farm what do y„ou pay as
rent? If you rent any farm land from
others or manage any farm land for
others, give name and address of own
er of land.
Other new questions in the coming
census Involve the amount of land
from which no crop was harvested this
year because of crop failure; crop land
lying idle or fallow in 1919; pasture
land in each farm. The farmer Is also
requested to give the total value of his
farm January 1, 1920, as well as the
value of all buildings on the fans
and the value of implements and ma
chlnery belonging to the farm. If any
encumbrances exist against the proper
ty, he is asked to specify the tota
amount of debt on the land on the day
the census Is taken, and the rate ol
interest he pays on this debt.
Under the head of farm expenses
each farmer Is asked to state the
amount expended in 1919 for hay,
grain, mill feed, and Other products
not raised on the farm which he used
as feed for domestic aulmals and pool
try; the amounts of cash expended foi
manure and fertilizer and for farm la
bor, exclusive of housework. He also
is to give the estimated value of tiu
house rent and board (nrnlshed fans
laborers in 1919 In addition to tbi
cash wages.
Information on Unimproved Land.
Special attention is also given to tho
matter of drainage, particularly wttt
-the fai'in.'tug
number of automobiles, motor trucks,
whether the farm has a telephone, wa
ter system, and gas or electric lighter
Information is also requested as to
whether there is a local co-operative
marketing tlnb, and farmers are ask
ed to give the value of all farm prod
ucts sol# through or to such organiza
tions in 1919, and also the cost of sup
plies purchased through the assistance
of such an association.
Complete information is also asked
regarding the orchard fruits, sub
tropical fruits, nuts, small fruits, fruit
products, grapes or grape products,
and greenhouse and hothouse areas
and equipments which are produced or
which are used on each farm.
In order to ascertain thd timber and
lumber resources of each farm, three
forestry questions atV asked: The
number of acres of merchantable tim
ber, consisting principally of trees of
-mwAoiF&te; - fire valwnbf--alt^TOTCSt
products of the farm kt the date speef-
ti«'d which have been sold or are 'for
sale, and the value of all homegrown
forest products which have been or
will be used on the farm.
HUGE CHICKEN SNAKE
Swallowed a Copperhead That Carried
Many Little Onea.
A sure enough snake story comes
from Uuckusburg, Calloway county,
Kentucky, and is reported by F. H.
Onier and son Dennis, whose record
for truth and veracity cannot be que»-
tloned.
While the two men were suckering
tobacco one day their attention was at
tracted by the family dog barking and
making a peculiar alarm. They wait
to the dog and saw the animal grab
a big snake and begin shaking it
In doing so young snakes the alae
and length of a lead pencil began to
scatter about him. The men examined
the young reptiles and fonnd them to
be copperheads, but the snake which
the dog attacked was a big chicken
snake four feet long.
They were not satisfied with tills
strange condition and on further ex*
eminatlon they found that the chicken
snake had swallowed a copperhead
snake two and a half feet long, which
contained theTittle snakes.
Seven of the youngsters were found,
but there might have been more in the
lot that were scattered about when
the dog began to shake the big one.
BOHN IN AUTO
A TWin Boon Followed It -and Thus
Added to Family.
Mr. and Mrs. Leon Rathbun of
Grover, Pa., started the other day with
a neighbor on an automobile ride.
When they returned home twins had
been added to the family.
The party had gone only a few miles
from home when the driver, who had
paid no attention to his friends in the
rear of the car, was asked to stop.
Turning his head he was startled to
find Rathbun holding a new bom
baby wrapped in one of the automo
bile robes. He drove to a farm house,
into which the mother and child were
carried.
Before an ambulance^could be called,
to take the woman home she gave
birth to a second child. The first twin
was a boy and the second a girl.
PAYS FOR COOKIES
Conscience Stricken Person Sends $1
After Many Ye^rs.
About 24 years ago Louis Michaels
drove a wagon for a candy company
In Milwaukee. Among the wares he
sold were cookies. One day a boy stole
a handful of cookies from the wagon,
but Michaels thought no more of the
prank until he received a letter in
closing $1.
That the man had apparently be
come conscience stricken as a result
of religious studies is indicated by the
inclosure of pamphlets on theology and
a copy of his letter:
“Inclosed you will find a dollar bill
In payment of theft committed 24 years
ago for a handful ojf cookies.
Jesus says no thief, liar, deadbeat or
murderer of a person can get into the
kingdom of heaven unless he repents
for his sins.”
