SCOPE OF THE 14TH
CENSUS Is EXTENDED

Washington, Nov. 2.-That the
Fourteenth Dccennial Census. on
which the actual enumeration work
will begin January .. 1920. is to be
the most important ever taken is
shown by the fact that the Act Of
Congress providing for this census
expressly increased the scope of the
inquiries so as to include forestry
and forest products. two subjects new
er covered specifically by any pre-
ceding census act.
The Inquiries to be made relating
to population. manufactures. mines,
quarries and agriculture were also ex-
tended in their scope by Congress,
the keenest interest over the forth
coming census having been shown by
members of the census committees
of both the House :rd Senate while
the law was under consideration.
The statistics gothercd on mining
will include all oil and gas wells
Many startling developments in this
important branch of the nations re
sources are looked for by census of
ficials The figures gathered in Tex
as. Oklahoma and Kansas will nc
doubt prove to be those most eagerly
sought for. rs shown by inquiries al
ready received by the Cenusu Bureau
The compilation ana gathering OF
forestry and forest products st?tis-
tics Will be in charge of specia
force of experts. The accurate and
comprehensive figures gathered con
cerning this vital nature resOurc,
will be much in demand. and tho
comparisons made with condition:
existing before the war will be o
great interest.
Agricultural statistics will like
wise be the subject of special enor
on the part of the Census Bureau n
the importance of farming is bein;
realized by the average citizen ia
more than ever before.
