One of our best farmers after driv-
ing several hundred miles in different
directions. gives it as his opinion that
many farmers are making mistake
in allowing many of their fields to
stand in hopes of getting at least some
fodder from them. After moving
some of his own fields he concludes
that there isn't feed enough to amount
to anything. That if plowed under
now while green the increased yield
next year will far outweigh any adj
vantage that may come from letting
them stand now There is consider
able truth in this and but little doubt
that fields plowed under now will yield
) to 10 bushels more per acre than If
plowed in this fall. Again if the
farmers have a large acreage ready
for crop in the spring. they can put it
in with but little feed and indications
are that feed of all kinds will be ex-
ceedingly scarce and high in price.

IMMENSITYOF CENSUS WORK
Statement Given Out by Director
Merriam for Benefit OF Many Persons
Already Asking ,or Results.

Washington, June g-Director OF
Census Merriam today gave out the
following statement for the informa-
ton Of the public:

ors OF census before they car be for

l@visors may determine whether the work

Iof the enumerators' accounts for ser
vice rendered under the law.
The following statement has been
prepared. showing what has 10
be done with the census returns.
when received at Washington Inc why
il must be weeks or ever months be-
fore the figures can be given out in
their entirety.
Every enumerator is required 10
fill a daily report card showing how
many hours and minutes he has been
al work, and how many persons he has
enumerated that day. Since there are
approximately $1,000 umerato and
thirty days are allowed for the COM
pletion of the census, the number OF
daily report cards 10 be examined in
the census office are somewhere be-
tween 1000, 600 and 1,500, 900.
1T is difficult for any one not famil-
lar with census work TO form an idea
of the vast amount of material TO be
tHn IL l. 8 -
office. The number of boxes contain
ing schedules sent TO the enumerators
in advance of taking the census was
$500, and their total weight was esti-
mated at 800 n All of this material
is returned to Washington, where il
has TO be sorted out and arranged in
order by states and the subdivisions
several miles in length. There is an
invoice of schedules in every box re-
ceived which has to be verified.
Next in order follows the examina-
ton in detail of the schedules. Every
schedule has to be examined in order
to see that the enumerator has not
made an overcharge for his services.
For this purpose, the schedule has TO
be compared with the accoun com-
pounded by him. Every possible eff
fort will be made to pay the enumera-
tors at the earliest practicable date.
Every business man knows that $1,000
bills presented for payment in one day
could not be audited and paid at sight.
THE schedules then go to the clerks
employed in punching cards for the
holterith electric t~abulating machines.
A count of the population will hen be
made by color, by sex and by native
or foreign birth, which will consume
possibly five or six months. Not until
this machine count shall have been
made for any particular city, county
or state car the figures be given for
publication.
"The cities will naturally be taken
up first, and as fast as the actual pop
i%ulation, as returned by the
tors, is ascertained it will be posted on
a bulletin board in the hall outside the
directors room for the information of
the press.

MORE TROOPS FOR CHINA
Administration Using Every
Means to Our Forces There.
More soldiers to be Sent From Manila

Washington, June 22.-The only news
from China laid before the cabinet
meeting today was a telegram to the
secretary of the navy. giving the move
ments of vessels in Chinese waters.
The text of the message, however, was
not made public. That the president
and the members regard the situation
in China as extremely critical is shown
by the fact hat preliminary prepara-
lions are being made TO send forward
additional troops in case of need. A
telegram was sent to General MacAr-
at Manila this afternoon, asking
him how large a force he can spare
should it become necessary to send
them to China. No answer to this in
.quiry is expected before tomorrow,
when in structions may be sent to have
transports and troops in readiness in
anticipation of rderS to sail.
The administration is endeavoring
to stimulate the dispatch of troops and
naval achievements to China to meet
the emergency at Tien Tsin. Reports
that have been received over night at
the navy department, but which are
withheld from publication,
are, it is believed, confirmatory of the
iepoIlS lronn Europe OIL the neeQ OF
reinforcements for the International
forces at Tien Tsin.
h emergency described in Admiral
kempf'S dispatches has led the war
department to make In extra effort
to hurry forward the Ninth regiment
from Luzon to Taku. 1t was reported
by General Macarthur upon the re-
ceipt of the original order to send
these troops to China, that, owing to
the break in railway communication
between Tarlac, the headquarters of
the Ninth regiment, and Manila, and
the prevalence in the harbor of a ty-
lphoon, it would probably not be pos
sible for the troops to get away before
the oath instant. The wal department is
now determined that this movement
shall be fastened, if it is possible to
do so. n has instructed General Mac
Arthur in such fashion as to warrant
the belief here that the troops will be
on their way to hin not later than
tomorrow evening.
There also is good reason to believe
that the authorities will dispatch at
least one other regiment from Manila
to China, with the least possible delay,
in order hat the United States may
be in a better position to assist the
allied forces in protecting the lives
and property of foreigners.
The United States consulate at Tien
Tsin, which late news advices report
to have been destroyed, is situated far
up on the Meadows road, which runs
up from the Pei Ho directly through
the center of the town. 1t is far remov-
ed from any of the other consulates
and practically isolated from all other
foreign buildings.
A recent census of Tien Tsin shows
the foreign population to be about 1,0OC
persons, including ITO Americans. Thus
the report from Japanese sources that
1, 500 foreigners at Tien Tsin had beer
massacred, would seem to be untrue
or grossly exaggerated in point OF
numbers.

FIRE AT PITSBURG
Eight Buildings Burne in Business
Section-The Loss $3.50 ,OOO.

Pittsburg, June 22.-Fire in one of
the principal down town business
blocks to-day caused a loss of $3.50, 900,
involving eight buildings. The insur-
ance will more than cover this amount.
The fire was first discovered On the
Eichbaum Company printing estao-
lisbment, supposedly caused by spon-
.taneous combustion. The EichDaum
building fronts on Fifth avenue, a few
doors below Wood street and is six
stories high. In an incredibly short
time the entire building was a mass
of flames, and before h firemen
could do much effective work the fire
had communicated to the neighboring
buildings. The greatest excitement
prevailed in the rooms Of Duff's busl-
ness college, where fifty or more stu
dents were at work. The extension OF
the flames was so rapid that these peo-
pie had to run for their lives. Reports
were rife hat several students had
Iperlshed, but it is known 20 might that
all escaped unhurt. The Eichbaum
building was completely destroyed
and the Hussey building had three
upper stories burned and the lower
floors flooded with water.
