VALUE OF FARM PRODUCTS.
Census Bureaus Statement Concern
ing Method of Ascertaining It.

| Washington, D. c., Mar. 15.-In-
quiries have been made of the census
at more or less fancy prices The
bureaus correspondents are of the
opinion that if sales are quoted in this
way in the census reports, the results
might be somewhat uncertain as a
basis for the average market price.
Responding to these inquiries, Cen
sus Director Durand states that in
forming its inquiries and instructions
bureau whether farm products should
be valued by farmers, in replying to
census enumerators, at the general
wholesale prices or at the actual
prices obtained by the producer 1t
was pointed out by the inquiries that
many farmers sell proportion OF
their eggs for breeding, at much high
er than the regular price. Others sell
part or all of their milk, butter, and
cream, at retail. Quite a number sell
pure-bred livestock of various kinds
with reference to the value of domes.
tic animals and fowls, the census bu-
reau must necessarily follow the lines
laid down in the law governing its
action. That law requires the bureau
to ascertain the number and value of
animals and fowls. The value sought
is not the value of some particular
class of animals or fowls, but of all
animals and fowls. 1t is the amount
at which the animals and fowls can
be sold Good pure-blooded animals
will sell for more, and thus have a
greater value. than the poor animals.
Where there are many pure-blooded,
the average will be higher than where
the opposite condition of affairs pre-
walls, but, as matter of fact, the
pure-blooded animals are so thorough
ly distributed that they left no ap-
preciable influence upon the average
published by the Twelfth Census, ex-
Sept III tue case OF the young colts OF
the state of New Jersey,
No appreciable influence on the av-
erage price or value of eggs. milk or
butter is observed in consequence CT
the practice mentiond by the inquirers
The high-prieed eggs milk, butter, etc
are found about as much in one part
OF the country as in another. The
average which the census will publish
is not that of particular class OF
eggs, but of all eggs produced. 1t is
the same for all animals, fowls and
animal products. The relative number

IntersohoIastIo Hiah schooI Meet


The interscholastic field and track
meet which will be held on Boyd
Field at the state university on April
29th and 9Oth, bids fair to be the big
gest and best ever held at the uni
versity Last year the attendance was
about three thousand; this year will
probably double the number. Director
of Athletics Darling has received re-
ports from many of the high schools
over the state and the indications are
that more entries than ever before
will be had.
The big meet is arousing great
deal of enthusiasm among the secon-
dairy schools of the state. About four
base ball teams will vie for honors on
the diamond and something like thir-
ty tennis teams will contest for the
high school state championship. Ton
kawa Preparatory school, Logan coun-
ty and Oklahoma City high school will
send large delegations of athletes. A
number of records should be broken
and some new athletic stars rise on

ius. But unquestionably the charac
ter of the government and other in
situations, and their relation to the
people have at least an equal influ
ence.
We are reminded of all this by
the death of Bjornson. Norway, like
other Scandinavian nations cannot
compare with some countries in pop
ulation,. climate, richness of soil and
extent of territory, but it has been
unusually rich in great men, for Bjor
son was but the latest of long roll
that includes the names ofTullin,
Verge and, Welhaven and Ibsen. Gen
ius is sometimes limited to one line
of action or to one quality, but that
of Bjornson was versatile in the ex-
lance and power in prose, poetry and
the drama, while as a social reformer
he was, perhaps, without peer. Not
only Norway but the entire world Is
the poorer by his death.
