THE LENSUS.
4 Few Observations of the Work as it
Relates to Farms,

The census officers are apDOin ing
their enumeratoIs and by the fist OF
June the great machine will be at
work prying into OR affairs and COM
piling figures enough to stagger the
old Roman almanac makers. We con-
slider the enabling act very good one
in general as far as census work is
concerned, but very bad bill in hat
it allows the appointment of en- ne a.
tors and census employees for reasons
other than strict merit and it o1ks
now as if a good many hoboes would
secure a job on the shift
The agricultural features ought to
be comprehensive and beral. No fed
eral census heretofore has been at all
accurate in it's agricultural work. In
deed, it is not too much to Y at
the whole of such work has b en- a
frightful error Much was claim d for
the accuracy Of the census Of 1899
but agrculturally it is quite unrelia-
bic. 1t returned the total value Cf all
agricultural products in 1889 as 2, 100
millions Of dol'ats. AS matter Of
fact, the average farm value in De-
cember, 1889, of six cereals hay, cot
ton tobacco and potatoes produ ed
that year foots up 2,G25 MI ions II is
probable that had all other pro 7uc"
been properly included the carsus f
1890 would have shown 3, 800 MILL rs
AS the value Of the United latts farm
products in the census year.
In taking the forthcoming census,
each farm in the country should be
considered as a unit just as is done
with manufacturing establ' shmentS.
The plan heretofore Of Jumping five
or ten farms on one schedule is preg-
nant with error. + nT enumeratCr
should deliver sche to each farm
in his district, explain 1t to the farm er
and assist him in making it out prop
erly. Only in this way can full and
complete data be obtained. The entire
absence of accounts or records on
most farms makes it all the more ne
essary to have schedule for each
place And since the census will per-
tain only to the crops of 1899, it will
even then require a good guess"r to
fill it out correctly. The farmers need
not be afraid that thse schedules will
be used against them by the tax ass s.
sors and it will probably be no mora
than Just for the enumerator to add
ten per cent. to the returns in or er
to- cover lapSes of memory and dis
rrepancies in valuations. - Denver

The man who is at the close of his
