What Is A Farm?
Census Bureau
Fixes Definition

WASHINGTON, Nov. 3.-What is a
farm?
Seems a foolish question to ask,
doesn't it? Almost anyone can tell
off-hand just what a farm is and
knows one when he sees it.
But do you happen to know the in
depreciation Uncle Sam places on the
word farm for census purposes?
No? Then read how his Bureau of
the Census defines the word:
"a farm for census purposes is all
the land which is directly farmed by
one person conducting agricultural OPP
erations, either by his own labor or
with the assistance Of members of his
household or hired employees"
From this definition it will be seen
that a farm may consist of a single
tract of land or of a number of sep
arate and distinct tracts. And these
several tracts may be held under diff
ferent tenures as, for instance, when
one tract is owned by the farmer and
another is rented by him. Thus if a
man who OWNS 100 acres rents an ad-
ditional ten acres from some one else
and operates both the 100 acres and
the tena acres then his farm" includes
both tracts of land comprising 10
acres.
By the same token when a land
owner has one or more tenants, rent
ers, troopers or managers, each diff
ferent tract of land operated by any
such tenant, renter, crOpper or manager
is considered a separate and distinct
farm by the Census Bureau.
Another question to be determined
is how important does an agricultural
enterprise have to be in order to
secure recognition in the census as a
farm? If it covers no. less than three
acres of ground, or requires for its
care the continuous services of at
least one person, OF yields products
annually to the value of $3.50 or more,
it comes within the census definition
Of a farm and will be recognized as
such and counted.
In this connection the Bureau of the
Census emphasizes the fact that the
information furnished to census talk
ers is absolutely confidential, made so
by Act of Congress, and that under
no circumstances can any such infor-
nation be used as a basis for taxation.

De ViS-NOrtOn Defends
Kilauea Military Camp

L. w. de Vis-Norton, publicity man
for the Hilo board of trade, in a letter
to the Honolulu Star-Rulletin touching
upon the proposal Of the army authori-
ties to establish a recuperation camp
on Maui. m to the defense of the
Kilauea military camp as follows:
Sir. / desire, in behalf of the trus-
tees OF The Kilauea Military Camp, to
correct certain statements made by
your Maui correspondent, in your is
sue of 18th inst, relative to the pro
posed establishment OF an army recu-
peration post on the island Of Maui.
The statements are as follows:
l.. For a number Of years the army
mas maintained such a resort post
near the Volcano, on the island of Ha-
waii.
,. Another objection to the Klau-
.l camp is an undue amount of rain
.all on the Big Island.
The Kilauea Military Camp, accom-
modating eight hundred men, repre-
sents an outlay of more than twenty
five thousand dollars. entirely given
by the people of the island of Hawaii.
1t has further been maintained for the
whole period of its existence at the
expense Of the people of the island Of
Hawaii.
The camp was erected, fitted ade-
quately throughout, and its use then
offered to the army and navy, abso-
lutoly free of all charge. 1t was never
looked upon as an investment or even
q speculation; it was simply Hawaii's
answer to the question, What can we
do for the soldier?'
The trustees have, this year, spent
a further four thousand dollars in per
manent improvements, and the camp
is now far more comfortable than the
majority of military barracks.
The trustees had in contemplation
a much larger outlay upon more water
water tanks and improvement of
grounds, during 1920.
The army has never been asked to
contribute one cent towards either
the erection or maintenance of the
Kilauea Camp, the only recuperation
post in the world on the rim of an ac-
tive volcano. The entire cost has al
Ways been borne by the people of Ha-
wall who are entitled to full credit for
their generosity.
On the matter of rainfall, a compar-
ison of the Kilauea Camp and n of
the Maui sites suggested, Olinda, is in
teresting as showing that while the
Olinda rainfall over many years is
$3.50 annually, the Volcano rainfall
over the same period is only S1,64, AS
= matter OF fact the one great Difficult
ty in connection with the Kilauea
Camp has been to obtain sufficient
water for the large Number of troops
using it's facilities.
Yours truly,
L. w. de VIS-NORTON,
Agent for the Trustees.
