Cost of Producing Farm Products.
The Bureau of Statistics is making
an investigation of the cost of prOduc-
ing farm products in different parts Of
the United States. Blank forms have
been printed upon which to make re
ports, and this bureau desires to re-
ceive the names of such farmers as
have kept records of cost Of producing
crops, or are well informed upon the
subject of cost of crop production in
their locality, in order that blank
schedules may be sent to them to fill
in. Individual reports will not be pub
lished-only the average Of many re-
ports Names should be sent to the
Bureau of Statistics, Department of
Agriculture, Washington, d. @.

The average farm garden might well
be larger. 1t ought to be ample enough
so that almost all Of it could be cult
waited with a horse and team. One can
tend more garden with a horse and
cultivator in an hour than he can with
a hoe in two days-and do it better.
The hoe has its place, but the place is
in the flower bed or corners and the
tool shed most of the time.
Several weeks may be gained by
starting many of the flower and vege-
table seeds in boxes in the house, hot
bed or other protected quarters. Glass
is the best protection for plants, but
when glass is not procurable thin white
cloth makes a fairly good substitute.
Market gardeners grow nearly all of
their lettuce and some other vegetables
under thin cloth. 1t admits both light
and air.

To remove cockleburs quickly and

recipe is efficient: Dip the tail IN a

COUNTY CLERK LINDSAY
PREPARING TAX ROLLS

working on the tax rolls. He is being
assisted for a few days By g. M. Tyler
clerk Of Blaine county, who is presi
dent Of the State Association Of Coun.
fly Clerks, and has had four years ex
.perience in the office.
Mr. Lindsay has struck a knotty
problem in the manner in which town
lots were listed by the assessors. In
many cases half a dozen or more lots
owned by the same person are listed
in one lump, while the law requires
that the valuation of each separate lot
be given. It is likely that the as
sessment lists Of the towns viii have
to be worked over again.

Death OF 7. J. Baker

Thomas Jefferson Baker was born in
johnson, August 3, 1889. He was the son
of Thomas Baker, who removed to john
son from New Boston, N. H., about 1920,
with brother and sisters and settled on
farms in the northern part of Johnson.
Jefferson Bakers mother was Mary Com
ings Bingham, daughter of Luther Bing-
ham, who was one of the earliest settlers
and most prominent men of Morristown,
representing that town in the Legislature
for eleven consecutive years.
Mr. Bakers boyhood was spent on the
"Plot" farm where he was born, and he
was educated at the johnson Academy,
then in its palmy days.
In 1858, at the age of IS, he went with
brother to the then frontier state of
| Kansas, walking with other emigrants
into the interior of the state from the
| Missouri river, where transportation lines
| then ended. He returned to Johnson,
however, after one season in the West.
In February, 1862, he was married to
Matte c. Whiting, youngest daughter oil
| Deacon Harris Whiting, and settled on a
farm III the western part of Johnson, near
prospect Rock" removing later to the
| farm on the hills of east johnson Viii
lage, now owned by Arther Wells.
In the spring of 1870 he disposed of this
place and again went to Kansas, with his
family, with the intention of settling
there; but the climate proving unfavor-
able to his health he returned to
| Johnson in the fall. He then purchased
| the farm on the southern side of the La
| noble river, opposite that now owned by
Fred Prindle, and this he retained for "a
years, finally selling it to Lewis Goosey
| IN 1904. He resided on this farm only
| four years, however, removing to john
| son village in 1874 and purchasing in 1880
| the residence on the hill opposite the
Normal School building, which has been
his home ever since.
Mr.. Baker was a man of large stature,
GIFT. and Bin. in height, and his figure
was familiar one at public gatherings.
| He held many town offices, was for over
80 years a Trustee of the Normal School,
and was for many years Deputy Sheriff
and Constable.
|
he had engaged in little active business.
A chronic heart trouble, starting score
of years ago with an attack of grip as
sumed a serious form in the fall of 1906.
Since then periods of illness and conva-
lescence had alternated and the end came
suddenly and painlessly on the morning
of May 6. His wife, two daughters, Lucy,
a music teacher at Whitewater, Wis,
May, a teacher at Everett, Mass, and a
son, Chas. W., associate editor of the
Engineering News in New York City,
survive him.
Funeral services were held from his
late residence on Saturday May 9, con-
Quoted by Rev. E. G. French of Lyndon
vile, assisted by Rev. j. X. Fuller, pastor
OF the Congregational church of which Mr..
| Baker had been member for over fifty
five years, a longer period of membership
than is held by any other member now
living.
The bearers were Hon. G. II. Stearns,
G. N. harrington, G. P. Jones, o. A.
Mcfarland, E. E. Holmes and w. II. Nye.
| B. l.. Austin was in charge and the
burial was in the new cemetery.
