Special Agents Employed.


Special Agent Clarence J. Hurley, Of
the agricultural division of the Cen
sus Bureau. who has charge of the
compilation of the live stock stats
tics for the District, said in regard to
his work:
In order to obtain a more complete
census of agriculture in the District
than heretofore, the work of collect
ing the Information was not left to
the enumerators who gathered the
population data. but was assigned 20
special agent, who was particularly
qualified for this class Of work. This
special agent personally visited every
agricultural establishment in the Dis
trict and interviewed the proprietors
Considerable difficulty was ex-
per1enced in obtaining from the
numerous truck farmers exact state
ments Of their products. The av-
erage truck farmer hauls to market
several large wagcn-lOads. often con.
SlSt1ng OF more than twenty varieties
OF fruits and vegetables. He finds it
very difficult TO report to the census
the exact area of land used in grow
ing each particular crop, but he has
very accurate idea of his total re-
ceipts.
The development of intensive az
rlculture In the District is certain TO
attract much attention Several cases
were FOUND IN which a truck farmer
was getting a larger income from.

crops.

number Of dairy COWS from 1909 10

other cattle from 268 to 500. a de-
crease in the number of horses from

number Of mules from 357 10 1907: a
decrease in the number Of sheep from
80 to /; a decrease in the number Of
goats from % TO 20 and an increase
in the number Of asses and burros
from / 10 s. The number Of farms
in the District in 1900 was 269; the
census Of 1910 shows but PIG, a de-
crease of so.
. The increase in the number Of mules
Cfrom 357 to 1.20D is remarkable.
Notwithstanding the decrease in the
number O. animals on farms. there
has been q gain in the total value Of
such animals from SI22,O19 to SAL
OS2.
The dairy cows on farms were
worth on an average $40 apiece in
1900 and SSI in 1910. Work horses
have increased in value from S6S to

from IS TO SIS.

The wharves and verandas of the
hotels and villas were filled now with
observers of the new inhabitant of the

she fed back once more to a position a
few yards above the launch.

Craighead caught Theodore as he
staggered.
when did they go?' said he.
About noon,' replied Mrs. Graybill.
Carson groaned, thinking bitterly of
the hours wasted at Fort Morgan, and
asked for Mrs. Stott. She had gone
home on the Roc.
"They went north, then" said Car
son.

Yes" said MI. Waddy, who seemed
to consider the Virginia incident closed,
"Ill go home and push the work in
the West; you boys to New York, to

VERY WE'LL said Carson. Craig
head, we'll start for New York in the
Virginia in the morning."
That night Carson wandered to the
spot on the beach where he had drawn
Virginia down out of the sky in the
runaway h%elicopter. The heavens were
overcast, the east winds moaned
through the pines. great gray waves
broke th~underously on the beach, and
from the marshes came the eroak of
night herons. He sat bordering on his
misery, on the temptation to which he
had succumhed, on the hopelessness of
his love. They-he and she-had APP
preached each other like two stars, and
flown off into space, never to meet, in
predestined orbits. And after all they

The Virginia, darling like a meteor

the Middle Bay light that C~raighead
well-nieh went overheard, and steered
once more into the beautiful blue semi
circle of Bon Secour Bay, C~raighead
