Census of Live Stock and Crops.
The prospects are that this Congress
will provide for a classified census or
ali the live stock OF the country, and
a census OF the acreage of lne principal
crops including cotton, corn, wheat, rice
and oats grown In the United StatesJ to
DO taken every five years instead OF every
ten, as provided by existing law Inc
bin to this effect has been fnvorably
reported from the committee on census.
The report accompanying the bill points
out that the present law provides that a
census Of manufacturing shall be taken
every FIVE years. The progress we have
made In manufacturing In recent years
makes It advisable to collect these stalls
tees uunquennially. There has been q
likewise great progress In the live STOCK
and agricultural Industries of the coun-
try. Judge Crrmpackcr, Of Indiana, VINO
presented the report Of the committee
accompanying the bill, calls attention to
the fact that methods have become more
businesslike and scientific. Great I'M
proyements have been made In agrlcul-
tural implements and methods or
farming says the report Likewise
there has been great advance IN the
breeding, slnughtring, preservation OF
meat products.
",rhe farmers Of the United states last
year produced six million four hundred
and fifteen million dollars worth of pro-
ducts including live stock. About $780,
OrlOOo worth of farm products was eX-
ported.
"Of this, s25oO00.OOo was live stock
and animal products. About one half of
all the exports of the United States were
produced on the farm. The magnitude
OF farming and stock raising is stupen-
dous, and more can be added to the
wealth of the country by reasonably in
creasing the facilities of these Industries
than in any other manner
The report says 1t would be necessary
to appoint for each county where live
stock Is raised or farming operations
are carried on to any reasonable extent
an cnumcrator for that county, the onum-
orator to be II resident OF tho county.
and to be given sixty days in which to
discharge his duty, at salary Of four
dollars II day and actual necessary trav-
cling expenses. The director Of tho CEN
s,s estimates the total cost Of the enum-
Grafton at 100000.
Jamestown Bill.
It is possible, and even probable, that
the jamestown appropriation bill intro
duccd by Senator Daniel, will pass the
Senate before the bill introduced by Mr..
Maynard gets through the House. The
Senate bill Is Identical with the Maynard
bill. Mr. Maynard said to-day he would
like to see tho bill get through the Sem
ate, when 1t could be put on an appro-
priation bill sent over from the House,
and then adopted as an amendment when
the bill came back to the House from tho
Senate. In this way the appropriation
could be secured about as easily as in
any other.
Speaker Cannon said to-day he thought
Congress would adjourn some tmo be-
tween the middle OF June and the first OF
August. The prediction made In this cor
rcspondcncc several times that the Fourth
| Of July would not be Car away whcn
| adjournment for the SESSION was taken
! seems likely Of fulhllment.
