ascertain the amount paid for labor
and for fertilizers Qduring the crop
year, and in accordance with the
desire of many of those engaged in
the industry, estimates will be re-
Quested of the extent of any reduc-
ton in the crop, below what may be
regarded as the normal production
which may have occurred during 1899.
on account of blight, early frOStS or
other causes.
Probably everyone understands at
this time that the work of the census
office is in no way connected with
taxation or the various agencies for
assessing taxes, and no one will now
hesitate on account of an erroneous
impression to the contrary, to furnish
the information asked. The census
office also emphasizes the fact that
there will be no disclosure of the
private business of any individual:
that aggregates only will be shown in
it's reports, and that all information
received in the schedules will, so far
as individual reports are concerned,
be regarded as strictly confidential.
The census office has had extensive
correspondence with the officers of
the various cranberry growers aSSoci-
atiOnS. with individual producers,
and with others who have manifested
AN interest in'this branch Of agricul-
tural industry, and has made every
effort to frame its schedules in accOr-
dance with their desires. 1t is to be
hoped that these efforts will be
appreciated by those who may be
directly benefited by them, and that
they in turn will do all in their power
to assist the census office in conduct
ing its inquiries.
As it is essential, if the industry is
to be completely represented, that
the census office should have a COM
plete list of those engaged in it, there
will be inclOSed with each schedule
list of those known to the census
office as being engaged in cranberry
culture within the locality to which
the inquiry is sent. and the recipient
will be requested TO furnish to the
office the names of any persons not
on the list, who are cranberry growers.
In this way it is hoped to secure the
names Of all of those who are not now
listed in the census Office. The office
will then forward schedules to all
such persons, and if they respond
promptly and satisfactorily, there
can be no reason for the omission OF
any important portion Of the total
cranberry production.

THE BUSY FAIRIES.


when little children lie asleep
The fairies leave the sky,
And through the windows slyly creep
And touch each sleepy eye,
And or the little beds they sit,
And round the curly heads they ait
iii rosy mornings nigh.
'Wnen AN the story telling's done
The fairies come to stay
Ana watch beside each little one
TIL Dawn wakes up the day:
Where silvery beams Of moonlight
stream
In happy dreams fair castles CLEAN.
While fairies watch away.
And when the sky above Is blue
And when the sun is high,
What do the little fairies do?-
They make our money fly!
The dollars that were hard to earn
They pile up In the yard to burn.
Or waste them on the sly.
They make new gowns too old to use
And little trousers tear;
They touch the toes Of little shoes
And presto! holes are there
They win away by spelling things
The money that much toiling brings
But leave us love to sharev
