NEEDED 14.000.000 lloraeH and Mule* 8UI1 Work on Farwa / Even on the farm, hi* last stronghold, the horse is now giving way to the automobile and tractor at the rate of 500,000 a year, reports C. D. Ix>we, Department of Agriculture statistician, writing in The Farm Journal. Where there were ?1,555,000 horses in America in 101#, there are barely more than 14,000,000 today. Of course, an abnormal increase in horse and mule breeding marked the war year, when the animals were shipped overseas by the million, but the years since have seen a distinct failing off even from normal pre-war figures. "The Department of Agriculture puts the total number of horses on farms in the Unjted States at 14,029,000 head, and mules 5,447,00 head," reports Mr. Ix>we. "This is a reduction in horses of approximately 500,000 and in mules of 85,000 in a year. "Assuming that the averuge life of a farm work animal is 15 years, about a million foals annually are required to maintain the work-stock population Ht its present level. At present ii is nr.ly on a half-rate replacement basis." However, the horse has and will hold his place in the city where he has been found more efficient than the motor truck for certain types of heavy hauling in congested traffic, and on the hilly farm, as well as in sport, where he can never )>o replaced. Mr. Lowe's Farm .Journal figures indicate a trend toward more heavyduty horses and the selective breeding of riding and sacing types. The draft breed stallions now being lice n.seds he points <>ut, outnumber the ; lighter type stallion- by approximately 12 to 1. The department of justice has a.-k-J ed the Federal -Jpreme court to rule I ' on the question as to whether or not a person who orders or buys liquor is guilty of conspiracy, the same as 1 is the bootlegger who sells the stuff. i ( lare A.

Relationship to head of family, including a statement as to the home maker in each family. ?. Whether home is owned or rented. . 3. Value of home, if owned, or monthly rental, if rented. | 4. Radio set? ("Yes", or No.") 5. Does this family live on a farm ? ("Yes" or "No.") (J. Sex. 7. Color or race. 8. Age at last birthday. 9. Marita) condition. 10. Age at firat marriage. (For married persons only.) II. Attended school or college any time since September 1, 1929? , | ("Yes" or "No.") I 12. Whether able to readand write?'("Yes" or "No.") | 13. Place of * birth of person. (State or country.) 14. Place of birth of person's father. (State or country.) 15. P'ace of birth of person's | mother, (State or country.) j 16. Mother tongue of each foreign-, j born person. I 17. Year of immigration to the United States. (For foreign born only.) 18. Whether naturalized. (For( fqreign borh only.) 19. Whether able to speak English. (For foreign born only.) 20. Occupation of each gainful worker. 21. Industry in which employed. 22. Whether employer, employee, or working on own account. 23. Whether actually at work, i For each person usually employed but returned as not at work, additional information will be secured on a | special unemployment schedule.) 24. Whether a veteran of the United States military or naval forces; and for each veteran, in what war or expedition he served. Among the most important of the new questions is that calling for th?value of the home if owned, or the monthly rental if rented. This will make possible a classification of families according to economic status, or perhaps one might say according to buying power. Such a classification is urgently desired by individuals and firms using the census figures as s basis for organizing their selling and advertising campaigns and will serve many other purposes. The replies to these questions will be used only as n basis for classification of the families into broad groups, and particular pains will t>f taken to see that the information given by any individual for his home is not in any way made public. Another new question Ls that which asks for the age at first marriage. I This will serve two purposes. In the first place it will give definite information as to the relative age at marriage of persons in different racial and economic groups. In the second place it will make possible a tabulation of important data on the size of families, such tabulation to be based on the number of children reported in the families of women who have been married a stated number of years. The question on radio sets will give j a direct answer to the question as to how large the potential radio audience, is. I In the classification of gainful workers according to occupation and industry it is proposed to put much greater stress than heretofore on the returns for industry, and to instruct enumerators to pay special attention to this section of the schedule. Women doing housework in their own homes (for supervising such work done by servants) and carrying the other responsibilities of the home will he designated as home-makers. ' This designation will be entered in the family relationship column of the ^ schedule, rather than in the occupation column, in order that those women who follow a profession or , other gainful occupation, in addition to being home-makers, may be prop- , erly classified in respect to both lines J of activity. ! A special schedule for unemploy- ' ment will contain a number of questions designated to separate those not working into several classes, including, besides those absolutely unemployed. those who, have a job but are for the time being on a lay-off without pay, etc. i The Kight Spirit Spartanburg, Jan. 21.?'Margaret Clem, 12, of the Wofford cptton mills, is a stalwart worker in the ranks that are waging an intensive cam- : paign to stamp out illiteracy in Spar- . tanburg county. Margaret, who is a sixth grade pupil in the Woodruff Graded School, has organized a class of seven adults and is teaching them to write their names and occupations. The reports to Miss Arnold, rural school supervisor, that she became in- . terested in the work due to reading so much printed about it and hearing so much said on the subject. iShe I reports her class as making progress. | - 0 > >!*! Not So Bod A Scottish actor come to London and took lodgings. With his rooming tea the landlady sent in two thin slices of bread and butter, whereupon he complained of the skimpy portion. The next day she sent him three slices, but still he complained. The third day she cut a loaf in two, put a quarter of a pound of butter on each slab, and sent that up.
