ONLY HALF ARE TOILERS
STATISTICS SHOW THAT 1885,
223, PEOPLE GAINFULLY
OCCUPIED.
Interesting Facts and Figures Have
Just Been Compiled by Director
of Census Harris.

At the thirteenth census (1910)
there were 39,756,223 persons 10 years
of age and over engaged in gainful
occupations in the United States, in
cluding Alaska, Hawaii, Porto Rico
and the military and naval stations
abroad. The gainful workers thus
formed 41.5 per cent Of the total pop
ulation (93,402,15D enumerated at
that census. These figures are con-
tanned in report on occupations
which has just been published by Di-
rector William J. Harris of the bu-
reau of the census, department of
commerce.
The proportion of the total popula-
ton engaged in gainful occupations
increased gradually from 34.7 per
cent in 1880 to 41.5 per cent in 1910,
the increase being least rapid from
1890 to 1900 and most rapid from
1900 to 1910. Of the male popula-
tion the proportion engaged in gain
full occupations increased from 57.8
per cent in 1880 to 63.6 per cent in
1910, while of the female population
the proportion increased during the
same period from 107 to 1871 per
cent.
Practically one-third 1882 per cent?
of all gainful workers in the United
States in 1910 were engaged in agri
culture, forestry and animal husband
ry, and considerably more than one
fourth (27.9 per cent? were engaged
in manufacturing and mechanical in
dustries. Thus over three-ffths of all
gainful workers were occupied in
these two general divisions Of occupa-
tions. The remaining two-fifths of
the workers were distributed among
the other seven large classes of oc-
cupations, namely, extraction of min
erals, transportation, trade, public ser
vice, professional service, domestic
and personal service and clerical oc-
equations, no class furnishing en-
ployment to as many as 10 per cent
of all gainful workers. For the males,
as for both sexes combined, agricul-
ture, forestry and animal husbandry
gave employment to the largest pro-
portion of the gainful workers, 36.1
per cent, and manufacturing and me-
chanical industries ranked second,
with 29.4 per cent. Domestic and per-
sonal service was the pdincipal field
of employment for female workers in
1910, 31.3 per cent of them being en-
gagged in this branch of occupations,
as compared with 22.4 per cent in
agriculture, forestry and animal bus
bandry, and 225 per cent in manu-
featuring and mechanical industries.
There were 30,091 ,564 males engag-
ed in gainful occupations in continent
al United States in 1910, as compared
with 8,075,772 females; that is, of
total of 3S,167 1886 persons engaged in
all occupations in 1910, 7S.8 per cent
were males and 212 per cent were
females. OF a. total of 29,O73,233 per-
sons engaged in all occupations in
1910, 81.7 per cent were males and
1873 per cent were females.

Where Savings Could
Easily Be Effected

With the "annual expense of op.
erating," 100 sales offices could be
established in market centers through,
out the world, and 227 statesmen could
be placed in the field, to provide fol
the rapidly increasing tonnage of the
Northwest, merely transferring the
same number of offices and the same
number of men to sphere of useful
ness in distribution.
1,012 hired men could be put in the
orchards of the Northwest the year
round.
With the "investment in automo-
biles" alone, 1919 of the best power
sprayers on the market could be pur-
chased and III of them could be op-
Grated for the regular seasons sprays,
including cost of material, gasoline,
labor, etc, under conditions apply
ing to the principal fruit growing
sections of the Northwest, for the
"annual expense of operating auto
mobiles" "
One hundred and twenty-five auto
mobile trucks for general orchard and
farm use could be bought, and the
"annual expense of operating auto
mobiles" would run them five months
each year, and S75 growers could use
them one day each week as the Ger
man farmers do their cooperative au-
ION, nh;Ias o, tho annual ovno,co ,P
operating automobiles would buy %
more Fords each year, giving 161 more
growers such cooperative use.
With the "tOtal investment" a
mammoth warehouse of S,540 carloads
capacity could be built, or S5 of 100
carloads capacity each could be To-
Gated at various points in the North
west needing them. and 80 more of
100 carloads capacity tach could be
built each year FOR the "tOtal annual
expense of operating" Or, granting
that present warehouse facilities are
100 carloads capacity each could be
bought and the "total annual expense
of operating" would run them 10
months each year.
Reverting again to the serious
phase of the situation, it is stated that
the "total annual expense of OPP
Grating" does not include anything
for depreciation, repairs, taxes, in
surance, etc. on the plants, ware
houses. automobiles, etc. which in a
hazardous business such as the hand
ling of perishable fruit cannot be es-
timated at less than 10 per cent. 1t
is further set forth that a reasonable
return on the capital invested, above
the operating expense. must be placed
at least at per cent. This, it ap-
pears. raises the total annual earn
iRgs of these firms to a minimum Of
S9l5,765. as follows: Total annual
expense of operating, S623, ,220; an
nual depreciation, etc, Sl6l,4l4; an
nual returns above expense of oper-
ating, Sl29.13l; total. S9l5, ,165.
All of which is derived from but
one source. and. of course, is deducted
before the growers receive their re-
turns from their fruit. The million
dollars, practically, already being paid
out annually to competitive concerns,

BLOAT IN CATTLE.
Cause of This Aiment and Method Of
Treatment.

Treatment.
Bloat is due to indigestion causing
fermentation in the paunch of the COW,
so the change from dry hay to fresh
forage should be made gradually. At
first the cattle should be allowed to
remain on green feed but short time.
and the usual quantities of dry hay
and fodder should be fed before pas
turing. 1t is considered dangerous to
turn cattle on rank. green feed when
the weather is muggy and the air is
moisture laden and charged with cleo
tricity.
Equal parts of salt and slaked lime.
placed where cattle can have free ac-
cess to it, is recommended as being
likely to reduce the chances Of bloat.
During the season of danger from
bloat it is well to visit the herd at
pasture frequently during the day so
that instant help may be given.
Two ounces of turpentine admins
tered In a quart Of warm. new milk or
in a pint of raw linseed OIL is good
for a bloated COW. and If necessary.
may be repeated in an hour. When
all signs of bloat have disappeared
physic should be given. providing no
oil has been previously administered
to the cow.-Dr. A. A. Alexander, Col
lege Of Agriculture, University of Wis
consin.

Beds of perennials are becoming
more popular every year. Once plant
ed, the perennials take care of them
selves pretty much. All that is neces-
sary to grow them to perfection is to
keep the weeds down and the soil cul-
tivated. thinning out the plants when
they grow too thick. If the seeds of
perennials are sown now the plants
will get a good start and will winter
safely and flower next season. If
seeds are not sown until late in the
summer the plants will be small and
weak when winter arrives. and many
will be winter killed.
Many valuable perennials are not
generally known. Try adding a few
new plants to the hardy border.

LAWS HELD IN CONFLICT.
Attorney General Gives Six Months
for Delinquent Taxes.

Acknowledgement Crawford, in an
opinion Saturday, held that delin-
Iquency certificates could not be issued
by county tax collectors until the ex-
piration of six months after taxes be-
came delinquent. The attorney-gen-
eral called attention to two facts pass
ed at the last session of the legisla-
ture which conflict One provides that
delinquent certificates shall be issued
one month after taxes become delin-
quent and the other six months after
they become delinquent.Mr. Crawford
says that under recent court decisions
the time was six months.

RAPE FOR SUMMER PIG FEED.
A Patch Will Furnish a Wealth OF
Green Fodder.

A Patch Will Furnish a Weaitn OF
Green Fodder.
Sow patch of rape. 1t will furnish
the growing pigs with a wealth of
palatable green feed and, If given
chance to "come back" will produce
crop after crop Of excellent succu-
ence.
The most satisfactory method of
growing this crop for swine, accord
ing to James G. Fuller of the agricul-
tural experiment station, University
of Wisconsin, is to provide three yards
of about equal size and seed them
three weeks apart with one and one
fourth bushels of oats and five pounds
of rape to the acre. The first lot, of
course, is generally sown as soon iii
the spring as the ground is dry enough
to work.
The Dwarf Essex variety is best and
usually sown broadcast or in drills
twenty-eight inches apart. If in drills.
it is best to sow lengthwise of the
field, as the animals will not trample
down the crop in going from or COM
ing to the feeding yard.
The pigs can be turned on to the
first lot as soon as the rape is from
fourteen to eighteen inches in height,
and as soon as they have eaten it
down to four or five leaves to the
stock the pigs are transferred to the
next patch and so rotated from one lot
to the other throughout the summer.
If well supplied with satisfactory
forage during the summer months pigs
can be finished for market and fatten-
ed off quickly as soon as the crop ma
lures.

The automobiles maintained by 100
concerns in the Northwest handling
the growers fruit, outside of the
large cooperative shipping Tganiza-
tions, if strung out in single file would
form procession over a mile long
There are 70 of them. This is one of
the incidental revelations of a thor
ough census of almost all principal
fruit growing districts of the North
west which has just been completed.
The canvas did not cover a few small
sections but, in presenting figures for
running expenses of such private con-
Germs and capital invested by them in
the Northwest it is considered com
prehensive enough to give the growers
a new angle from which to view the
marketing business as it affects them,
inasmuch as the money used in this
way is derived from but one source
and that is the growers fruit,-or,
in effect, the growers themselves.
This in turn, it is pointed out, raises
the issue that all the fruit of the
Northwest could be marketed by one
organization of sufficient size without
materially increasing its expense of
operation,-thus leaving available for
other uses, or saving to the growers,
a fund which now mounts up in the
aggregate to $623,220 annually, at
least. Several salient featWes of the
census made of these concerns, which
include the so-called cash, commission
and consignment firms are: Number
of concerns, 100; number of men en-
ployed, 227; annual expense of oper-
ating Except automobiles), $607, ,42O; /;
investment Except in automobiles J,
81, ,529, 800; number of automobiles,
70; annual expense of operating auto
mobiles, $15,S00; investment in auto
mobiles, $S4, $50; total annual expense
of operating, $623,220; total invest
ment, $1,614,140.
In the case of several firms that do
a general wholesale business or deal
in other lines of produce, only the
proportion of expense and investment
which relates TO the fruit buying, com
or consignment end of the bus
mess is charged, in many instances
this being figures eonservatively at 30
per cent. The cost of operating the
automobiles is placed economically.
exceptionally so, at $25 per month.
big machines as well as Fords.
Some Of the district cooperative
shipping organizations use automo-
biles. of course. but in one section.
which is indicative of conditions else
where, such an organization employs
four automobiles in handling 40 per
cent of the tonnage. while 26 private
concerns employ p automobiles to.
handle the other 60 per cent. so the
comparison, numerically at least. gives
those firms long odds on automobiles.
OF the many uses TO which money,
by the "expense of OPP
Grating" and the "investment" of
the 109 concerns and furnished nee
essarily by the growers and no one
else, could be put by the growers
themselves. a few have been tentative
ly suggested, as follows:

DOUBTFUL EGGS.

1t is good business policy to re-
ject as doubtful all eggs found
in a nest that was not visited
the previous day. Such eggs
should be used in the home kitch-
en-, when they may be broken
separately. During the summer
the eggs as soon as gathered
should be put in the coolest
place possible. All cracked and
dirty eggs should be used at
home. Such eggs are perfectly
wholesome If consumed when
fresh, but when marketed are
Disseminated against and are
likely to become an entire loss.

met at Lewisville, six miles southwest
of Monmouth, adopted a resolution OPP
posing the compensation act and ask
ing that the farmers be held exempt
from its provisions. The proposed
eight-hour general lay also was OPP
posed. The grange held that such
law would be injurious to the farmers
interests and that all industries
should not be placed on the same basis
in considering hours for labor. In
spite of the busy season of the year,
many farmers attended the meeting.

THE CLASSIFIED "AD."


In learning to utilize Class
flied Advertising, you take
"six-league" stride toward
success! There are still some
people living in Dallas and
Polk county who have not
learned to use The Observers
classified advertising columns.
They know that there are
"such things as "want ads"
and probably assume that
some people must find them
useful. But, for some reason
or other, they have not put
these "ads' to the test of
usefulness to themselves.
These same people have
"caught up" with events in
many other directions. They
utilize the telephone, the tele-
graph, gas, electric light, the
street cars. They adopt mod
ern conveniences for house
keeping. They utilize time
and labor-saving appliances in
business.
But, having a task for a
classified advertisement to do,
they try to find some other
way to accomplish it. If it is
a renting task, they depend
upon a placard. If it is a
property selling task, they
put up a "For Sale sign"
If it is a position-fnding task,
they rely upon personal
friends to help them. If they
have furnished rooms to rent,
they place an advertisement in
the window or over the door
bell.
When these people make
their first successful use of
want advertising, they acquire
a new optimism. Irksome
tasks become mere business
matters. New possibilities
without mum Der open to them.
They learn to utilize the "Six- :
League Boots" of publicity
when occasion requires-and
every little daily problem be-
comes manageable. The OBJ
server is published Tuesdays
and Fridays, and gives re-
suits. 1t has been proven.
