Census Director Durand gave out
today an important advance state
ment from tie Ruueau OF the Census
containing additional figures and de-
tails of the aricultural statistics Of
continental United States collected
at the Thirteenth Decannial Census.
April l.. 1910 1t Is based on a
preliminary comparative summary
submitted by Dr.. lie Grand Powers.
chief statistician for the Division of
Agriculture in the Bureau Of the
Census and it supplements brief
preliminary notice issued in July
last.
The figures here given are subject
TO revision. inasmuch rs there is a
small number of farms, the returns
for which are incomplete, which will
be included In the final tables. Such
additions. however, will not materi-
ally modify either the amounts or
the rates here stated.
Slow Increase in Number of Farms.
During the 10 years which follow
ed the census of 1900. the popula-
ton of the United States increased
81 per cent. but the number of farms
did not keep pace with the increase
in population. From 5,737.372 in
1900 the number grew to 6,340, 3o7,
an increase of 6O2.995. or 10.5 per
cent. For the whole United States
this is the lowest rate OF increase
which has been noted since the
number of farms was first recorded
In 1850. Measured bv number of
farms, agriculture exhibits dimin-
ished rate of increase, and in large
areas of the country is practically
stationary.

There is more Catarrh in this section Of
the country than all other diseases put
together and until the last few years
was supposed to be incurable. For a great
many years doctors pronounced 1t a local
disease and prescribed local remedies, and
by constantly falling to cure with local
treatment, pronounced it incurable. Sci
enee has proven Catarrh to be a consti-
tutfonal disease and therefore requires
constitutional treatment. Halls Catarrh
Cure, manufactured by F. ]. Cheney &

tional cure on the market. 1t is taken in

report was secured as free from debt.
The Census Bureaa has no informa-
ton respecting the Indebtedness in
farms leased to tenants or operated
by managers.
In 1900 information was secured
concerning the ''cwned farm homes. y
At the time 2,545, 239. or 20 per cen,
were reported as free from debt
while 1908, l64, CT 30 per cent, were
reported as morteaged There were
126,O59 farms in 1900 for which no
mortgage report was secured, and
these are included with the farm
homes reported as free from debt. y
There has thus been a considerably
greater increase in the number of
mcrteaeed farms than in the number
Of farms free from mortgage. The
increase in the proportion of mort
gagged farms from 1900 to 1910. how
ever. was less than that from 1890
to 1900.
Farms Distributed Into Size Groups
The statement relating to farms
distributed according to size groups
shows that those ''19 acres and I'M
der" numbered S29.303 in 1910 and
673.S70 in 1900. a gain of 153.433;
those "20 to 80 acres" .4l0,992 in
1910 and 1.257.496 in 1900. cain

size group thus increased in abso-
lutte number. but the increases were
at different rates. so that there are

rortion of farms falling in the re-

MAN SAYS He
SAW SHIRLEY
Believed to be in Woods
Near Runyon.

1t is believed that Joseph Shirley,
who has been missing from this city
since october n, is running at large
In a demented condition In the woods
near Old Bridge, Runyon and there
abouts. A man answering his de-
scription was seen near the city's
pumping station by BENJAMIN Long,
an emplofs at the water works,
about 8 o'clock yesterday afternoon.
The man, upon seeing he was
watched, fled to the woods.
Shirley was thirty-eight years old
and lived at 230 Market street. It
is believed he was demented when
he disappeared from this city and
there is every reason to believe that
the man who has been seen acting
strangely in certain parts OF South
Jersey is him. 1t is likely that a
searching party, headed by Shirley's
brother, will 60 out looking for him
In south Jersey this week.
