Winter Causes
Not Much Loss

PRINEVILLE, Ore, March 81
Especial Central Oregon, the stock
growing section Of the state, is en-
joying much better weather at pres
ent than is customary at this season,
and cattle and horses have been turn
ed onto the ranges and many bands
of sheep have been taken to the "des-
ert," where the new grass is best
From canvass of the stock men it
is found that an unusual small per-
centage Of loss is the result of the
rather severe winter. and although the
prices of hay and grain were boosted
TO an unusual height. the supply in
most cases was enough to meet the
demand.
In the Crooked River country the
cattle raisers report that some of the
stock are in better condition than
when they went into the winter, and
although the feeding has been con-
tinuous from December 1 to Febru-
airy 1, the winter has been over and
grass has grown every day since the
latter date, until the spring ranges
are in better condition than they usu
ally are on May 1.
The alfalfa fields near Prineville
are about six inches in height and fall
wheat is almost as high, while spring
sown grain is looking well.
Flowing and breaking is in full
swing oh the newer farms and there
has been no frost to speak of since
February. Fruit trees are coming out
and the shrubbery of almost every
kind has taken on it's summer suit
Of green. A warm rain of So hours
stopped on March % and there has
been no frosts of any consequence
Since. The farmers are happy and
confidently look forward to a big year
this year.

Are you prepared to answer ques-

for you to brush up a bit, for in a

The census department has fixed the
list of questions that the cans asser win
have to ask at every house, among
which are the following:
What is your house number?
What is your name?
The name of the members of your
family?
What is the relationship of. these
people to you?
How old are you?
Are you single, married, widowed
or divorced?
How long have you been married, il
at all?
How many children have you?
Where was your father born?
Where were you born?
Your mother?
How long have you been in this

Are you naturalized?
Can you speak English? If not,
what can you speak?
What is your occupation?
Are you employed or an employer =:
Were you out of work April Is. 1910 ,
Can you read and write?
Do you own or rent your home?
Any mortgage?
Are you q survivor of the Union or
Confederate army or navy?
Are you blind? One or both eyes,
And-lastly-ar you deaf or dumb /?
Now what do you think OF that?
What? You say you won't answer
some of those questions? Boil down,
boil down! You will, indeed, you will.
