C., in the thousands of jobs that will be available in connection with the taking of the federal census in 1930. Officials of the census bureau already have set upon paper the organization that will be required for the enumeration. Plans have progressed to the point of dividing the states into districts. There will be 650 supervising districts in the country. The districts will not follow lines of congressional districts, as before. The entire national census will cost approximately $40,000,000. Appointment of census supervisors in most of the states in the past has been considered patronage" belonging to the house of representatives. In only a few instances have such places been claimed by senators. The census plan provides that the .director.-.of the census shall fix the rate of comperysation for all persons connected with the enumeration and that this rate must not exceed $8 a day. The work is to begin May 1, 1930 and continue from four to six, months. Close to 100,000 speciaKbmployes will be required to take the census, and the work will be the most extensive ever undertaken. The cenusus will ytover statistics concerning population, agriculture, manufacture, mines, quarries, Electrical industries, transportation, births, deaths, marriages, divorces, wealth, indebtedness, taxation, state and municipal finances, current business and other phases of industrial and social life, ? Supervisors ten years ago received from $1800 to $2500 with a bonus of $1 for each thousand population. They also, received a? bonus, of.Tour ~ceista"foTreHch f arm irrthelFdlStHcts. Enumerators received four cents per name, and their compensation ranged from $4 to $6 a day.

Jardine is already figgering on a .-lalenient to he released ahout March 1 which will keep spots d??wn under ihe 20-cent level. Fertiliser agents have begun to circulate among the probable cotton growers, and their new terms, "NET CASH, (\ C).
