Will Be Made to Gather
Statistics Of Poultry
Last Census in This Respect
Was Not Complete. 4
No Attempt Will Be Made to Enum-
crate the Fancy Fowls.

Washington, Oct. ga special effort
is being made by Census Director Dur
and to secure list of the poultry
keepers in the cities and villages of the
United States with view toward TAX
ing in 1910 a more complete and &C
curate census of the poultry and egg
industry than has been possible at any
previous decennial census. The list
will comprise only those city and vii
lage poultry farms" whose annual
output exceeds $500 in value each.
In an official letter about to be sent
to the poultry trade Director Durand
says that the statistics of poultry and
eggs secured by the census of 1900 were
incomplete because fowls under three
months of age were excluded from the
reports of poultry on hard June l,
1900, in this way eliminating practical
ly all of the young birds Matched that
year This caused the statistics to
show a smaller number of fowls on
hand in 1900 than in 1890, condition
which is believed to be quite at va
rance With the real facts. 1t is also
pointed out by the director that at the
last census a considerable proportion
of the poultry establishments in cities
ana villages were omitted entirely by
the enumeratorG, many of whom did
not consider them FARMS" although
the census rules declared all such es-
Establishments TO be farms for census
purposes, provided they had an output
of not less than 5000 per annum or re-
quired the major part of one persons
time.
1t is announced by the director that
the census to be taken April Il next
will ask for the number of fowls on
hand at that time. dividing them into
TWO classes, those under three months
old ana those over that age.
With reference to the suggestions
concerning fancy poultry the director
has decided that on account of the
many insuperable obstacles which
would be encountered, principally arfs-
ing from the difficulty of making emu
merators ask minute inquiries, it would
be inadvisabie to attempt it,

first relates to whether fishing regula-
