Winter wheat reports from Oklahoma

wheat already is large enough to hide a

more days of conditions like the present
the fruit buds will start wheat will push
ahead very rapidly. Winter wheat re-
ports from Northern Kentucky show no
frost in the ground and the ground full
light, possibly due to the fact that the
roads are in very bad condition. But
believe that the farmers have sold their
wheat very closely. Those who have any
left are not willing to accept present
prices and want to know something def

FACTS ABOUT
THE CENSUS.


lie most difficult task Of a census
the ages of people. II is assumed that a
woman may lie about her age and man
about the fish be catches without COM
hitting sin, but the phenomenon goes still
further. Young people usually want TO
be considered Id, middle aged people re-
port themselves younger than they are
and very old people viii add few years
to their actual age, Children under 10
throw their ages forward to III. girls
stretch a point to be IS and boys 10 or
more always like to be considered men
Therefore the age returns of census are
usually more Incorrect than any other,
and ii is impossible to determine aeeu-
rately whether the average duration Of
life is increasing or decreasing. 1t is inn
possible, for the same reason, to ascertain
the death rate, the number of men of mill
itary age; whether negroes die earlier
than whites; whether the laboring part
Of the population live longer than those
Of sedentary occupation; whether Grim
inals are recruited from the younger or
older element of society: whether the
employment of children is increasing or
decreasing, and many other estimates
whose value Is threatened by the inaeeu-
racy Of the age statistics.
Experienced enumerarors have found
that the tendency of people is to repre-
sent themselves younger than they actu-
ally are. This impulse seems to be ire
sistible between the ages OF - and 80.
The greatest proportion of errors is at
the Goth year, but the greatest number

fatal Rubieon people usually faher. In
1890 there Were G18,641 persons report
ed as 80 years of age. 1,031 1886 as 40
and 4SR S53 persons as Al. Am 3ng wom-
en- SCOTIA were reported to be 40, 290,-
917 80, 224,551 IL. With ia rly steady
flow of immigration and sta tionary or
increasing population there ought always
TO be fewer persons of given age than
Of any Sidgle age preceding; less people
so years old than 40 and 50 or. But cen
sus tables invariably show he reverse
AT the last census 240 $50 persons were
returned as 80 years old. willie the num-
Der returned at 60 vas 502.iSS Where
immigration is Sigh, the persons of Civ
en- age at one census must necessarily be
less than the persons ten years younger
at the preceding census. Thus in 1890 the
persons % years old are necessarily fewer
in number than the persons 10 years old
in 1880, because the 25-yedr class of 1890
is composed Of the surviv ,rs of the 10
year class = $50. These are facts, but
English women are not abashed by facts.
In England the number of women return
ing themselves as between 20 and %
years Of age is always greater than the
number of girls reported at the preceding
census from 10 to Il years old. And yet
people can't be born 20 years old.
