A Persian fable says, one day:
A wanderer found lump of clay,
So redolent of sweet perfume,
It's odors scented all the room.

WASHINGTON, d. C.l, August SO.--
The Thirteenth Census Advance Bull
Ietin on Agriculture for the State OF
Delaware is about to be issued by
Census Director Durand. It was pre-
pared under the supervision Of DR..
LeGrand Powers chief statistician for
agriculture. The data relative 70
farms and farm property. live stock
and crops, was given out in prelimi-
nary form some time ago There Is,
however, much that is new in the bull
letin.
Delaware ranks forty-seventh in
both area and population among the
states and territories of continental
United States. Although a consider
able part of it's population lives in
manufacturing center, IL is a dis
tinctly agricultural state. Most Of it
is part of the Atlantic coastal plain,
and as a whole, it is level and easily
titled. OF the states entire land area
about fouT-fifths is in farms.
The average value Of farm land per
acre for the whole state is $33 ,63;
the average for the individual coun-
ties range from $24.45 i'm the southern
TO S52.62 in the northern county.
Between 1900 and 1910 there was an
increase of 1850 or 9.5 per cent in
the population of the state, and an
increase of 1,149 or 11.9 per cent in
the number of farms, while there was
n decrease of over 27,000 acres, or
2.6 per cent. in the area of farm land,
and a decrease of about 40,500 acres,
or 81 per cent. in the improved land
in farms. The average size Of the
farms decreased from 110 to SO acres.
Farm property, which includes land.
buildings. implements and machinery
and live stock domestic animals.
poultry and bees), has increased in
value during the decade 55.2 per cent.
or nearly $22 100000 Almost half of
this great increase was due to land,
which advanced AZ per cent. in value.
an dabout a third to an increase OF
over $3.50 600. or 70.S per cent, in
the value of buildings There was
also an increase of over 81 600 600
in the value of implements and ma
chinery and of over $1,000 600 in the
value of live stock. In considering
the increases of values in agriculture
/ the general increase in the prices OF
all commodities in the last ten years
should be borne in mind.
The average value of farm witt
its equipment in 1900 was slightly
over S4 200 while 10 years later il
was more than $4,000. The average
value of land alone rose from S22.2'
per acre in 1900 to s33.63 in 1910.
In the so years since 1850 the popu
