GERMAN DEATHRATE
INCREASED HEAVILY
Mortality SinceWar Began Million
Over Figures During Normal
Times.
Correxpondence Of Associated Press

AMSTERDAM, FER. O.
from the beginning of the war up TO
the end of 1919 there were over a million
more deaths in Germany than is normally
the case says the Berlin correspondent
Of the Malsbode in statement on the
effects OF the war on the vital and populs-
ton statistios of the German Empire.
"For the first three years, continues the
writer, "the entire loss by mortality is
said TO have been 100000 Thus in
stead OF the normal increase of 2, 100 600
there was on August /, 1917, decrease
of 6OO, 900 to which another 100000 was
added "a a result of the decline In birth
figures that still continues. The absolute
decrease in the population after three
years therefore would have been two per
cent Of the number nt the beginning OF
the war.
"Other phenomena are 10 be expected
for the near future. Instead of Ia 200, 900
the men between the ayes Of II and IS
will only number l., 700, 900. and instead
of 500, 900 as now. the excess of women
over men will bc 100000. II Is not yet
known how the war losses will bc spread
over the various ages but II looks MS If
there will toe 100 women TO every 1000
men of marrlagcable age. For these
reasoDs, and invlcw of the fact that there
will beta large number OF invalids among
the men, the marriage chances must be
termed greatly reduced, fact which will
IN its turn produce further shftings on
the labor market, that on their part will
again react on the population movement
The war is not regarded-at any rate
by experts as harmful for infants
Natural feeding is far more general than
formerly in all classes of the population
and the results are good, as the food
authorities apportion To the mother the
food for the child, as, for example, |
litrc of milk per day Infants have a
right TO one htre of milk daily, 30 graTnrnes
of sugar and 200 grammes of flour a
week and one pound of oatmeal month,
and can do we'll on that.
The food question becomes more diff
cult In the child second year, as vegc-
tables and fruits are scarce, at any rate
IN the large town, so that the potato has
to take the place of these. The counsel
as now heard more frequently to restrict
gymnastfc exercises and, following the
of the marmo,s to substitute
the food that is lacking by sleep, and to
see that the children get long nights OF
sleep"

STATE FARM,CENSUS
| WILL BEGIN MARCH 4
Will be Under Direction of'M. O.
Pence and Will Last
q Week.

On Monday, March 4, under the di-
rection of NJ. o. Spence, State leader Of
county agents, work of taking the State
agricultural census will be started II is
expected to complete it in week MIR.
Spence will be assisted by J.. G. Arm
strong, director Of agriculture, the county
school supcrintcndents and the three
county agents.
A circular letter to the teachers is teing
sent out by Commissioner Spaid, and u
letter OF instruction will 90 forth with the
necessary blanks to the teachers within a
few days. Those who have this matter in
charge are anxious that every person will
do everything in his power To help make
thus agricultural census success Tho
school clerks can be of great assistance to
teachers by visiting schoolhotsses with
their assessment lists, and parents also
can greatly help by making out their own
blanks for the teachers. This agricultural
census is being made at the request OF the
Federal government and has the at1
proval OF the governor and other State
officials.
RESULTS IN NEW YORK
The State Of New York has made such
census for two years and expects TO
make another this month. From the 1917
agricultural census Of New York the fol-
lowing facts were brought out clearly:
|. Shortage of labor.
2. A poor distribution N seed and a
State shortage Of potatoes, corn ard buck
wheat
g. Difficulty in getting delivery by the
railroads OF seeds, fertilizer and machinery.
T. An excess OF 5000 horses above the
needs Of farmers.
- b. >h~r AZ latv
COWS over last year, but decrease in the
number of heifer calves now being raised.
a. 4 decrease in the number Of sheep
and hogs, and in the number OF eggs being
incubated
Z. A very striking increase in the area
of fruit. wheat, beans and vegetables,
alfalfa and corn for the silo, with con-
seuuent decrease in the area of land in
grass.
s. In the past eight years there has
been shift or more than 10000 acres
from grass TO the above crops.
II is suggested that Monday or Tues
day evening of the week should be set
apart for a meeting st the schoolhouses
at which time parents could greatly asslst
in helping the teachers and pupils In filing
out the various blanks
After the reports in each district have
been tabulated by the teacher the various
reports will be sent TO the proper authori-
ties and some of the banks perhaps Of each
county viii lie requested to permit their
clerks to Use the adding machines in order
to make the final tabulations for the entire
county. These reports viii show, for ex-
ample, what farmers have horses to sell.
The final tabulations will be gwen TO the
public through the newspapers for the
plan is to make the census just as valuable
TO the tanners rs it possibly can be.

PROHIBITION BILL
IN MARYLAND HOUSE
Federal Amendment Scheduled for
Consideration This After
noon.
ANNAPOLIS. Mn. FEB.

NAPoLIs, MD., FEB. z.
The Federal prohibition amendment
Is scheduled for action in the House as
soon as it convenes this afternoon.
The House made q record yesterday
afternoon when its legislative day showed
only Is minutes without a single thing
accomplished save for roll call After
the strenuous work of the morning and
early afternoon, which was the legisla-
tive day OF February 5, the House came
back at $50 o clock, opened for yester-
days business and almost immediately
after it was called to order Delegate Fox.
a leader of the dry forces, moved for an
adjournment until noon today. The
roll call was promptly made and carried
for adjournment.
The asking for recess was due to the
fact that neither the 'wets" nor the
"drys' were confident of the strength
they had on hand, because, Immediately
Baltimore bill, the adjournment was
taken and many delegates left for their
homes or the hotels and could not be
rounded up.
Unsca thed and unamended, the Greater
Baltimore Extension bill passed the House
yesterday afternoon by vote OF 81 to
80. All Of the Republicans voted for
the bill except Delegate Covey OF Caro-
line, who refralned from casting his vote.
The bin will now be hurried over to the
Senate for action. The victory for the
city followed another day Of balloting
by the antis for more delay The climax
came when Delegate Benson. following
the calling for the previous question, de
manded that the bill be read in full.
Previously the House had refused to make
the bill special order for today or to
amend il by delaying its operation until
the close Of the war Just after he had
demanded that the bill be read Delegate
Benson announced that the ants would
be given 10 minutes to debate.
