Finding Money Grows From Trees.

The farmers of Cerro Gordo county
are finding that while dollars do not
grow on bushes they grow from fruit
trees on their farms when properly
pruned and sprayed.
With a profit OF $500 an acre on the
Frost demonstration orchard here as
the result Of two years care, the farm
bureau has demonstrated that pruning
and spraying pay.
This orchard. neglected for eighteen
years, yielded no profits. Responding
10 its care, the sales from the fruit
produced on this Ave and one hall
acres amounted 10 $500 last season.
Allowing $3.50 for operating expenses.
the profit from the trees was 1850.
Farmers in various parts OF Cerro
Gordo county have been showing that
it pays TO care for the orchard. The
spraying Of 1900 trees has increased
the yield Of fruit 5000 bushels, making
d total profit of $4,000.

Agricultural Census
To Be Taken Jan. l

Uncle Sam has decided to take the
fourteenth census on farms jan -
1890. instead of collecting this data rs
OF April 10, as was done IN WV. ihe
du IT, was changed because farmers OF
dinarily are very busy with the rush
Of spring work about the middle OF
April also because the April 10 DATE
comes during the midst Of the oreeo'hs
season when the number OF young
stock is not comparable between north"
ern and southern regions. and inaliS
because the returns on the crops OBJ
tanned during the water are more ac-
curate than those obtained later ana
comparable with the December esu-
mates of the bureau OF crop estimates
The United States department OF as-
ricuIture Is assisting The Census bu
reau in making this coming agricul-
tUral census as accurate and valuaple
as possible. To a limited degree the
character OF the information to be Sc
cured will differ from previous emu
merations, because of slight changes
in the questions which the enumer-
atoms will as farmers. These changes
in the schedule OF questions have been
made by committee composed or L.

The questions include information on
