CENSUS INTERPRETATION
OF THE WORD "FARM"

Washington, November 3:--What 3
is farm?
Seems foolish question to ask,
doesn't it? Almost anyone can tell
Off hand just what farm is and
knows one when he sees it.
But do you happen to know the
Interpretation Uncle Sam places on
the word farm" for census purposes
No? Then read how hi- Bureau of
the Census defines the word:
"A farm for census purposes is
all the land which is directly farmed
by ore person conducting agricul-
tural operations, either by his own
labor or with the assistance of MEM
bers of his household or hired en-
pioyccs."
In further explanation of this de-
finition the Census Bureau point c..
that the term agricultural opera
tions''is used as a general term re.
ferring to the work of growing crops
producing other agricultural products
and raising domestic animals, poultry
or bees.
From this definition it will be
seen that a farm may consist of a.
single tract of land or of number
of separate and distinct tracts. And
these several tracts may be held un-
der different tenure 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 additional ten acres from
some one else and operates both the
100 acres and the. ten acres, then
his "farm" includes both tracts of
land comprising 10 acres.
By the same token when land
owner has one or more tenants. rent
ers, croppers or managers, each diff
ferent tract of land operated by any
such tenant, renter, cropper or man.
ager is considered separate and
distinct farm by the Census Bureau.
Or, to give an example, if man own
ing 12O acres of land rents 40 acres
to tenant and farms the remaining
80 acres himself, his farm is the 80
acres which he operates, not the 120
acres which he owns, while the 40
acre tract which he rents to tenant
comprises separate farm to be re-
ported in the name of the tenant.
Another question to be determin-
ed is how important does an agricul-
tural enterprise have to be in order to
secure recognition in the census as a
farm? A small vegetable garden or a
chicken yard accommodating a few
busy hens will not be allowed to
quality as a farm" III the census
no matter with what pardonable
pride and satisfaction the proprietor
NAV view his agricultural enterprise.
But if the garden or chicken yard

RAISE FUNDS ID
 SUPPORT ORPHAN

In order to raise funds with which to support two French orphans, the young people of Trinity church ar- ranged a most delightful Japanese tea, sale and play, which were held yesterday afternoon and evening s;t the parish house when friends and interested persons had come to assist in making the young peoples efforts a success. It did prove a success and the comittee in charge of the affair extend their thanks to all those who have in any way assisted.
 The parish house was transformed into picturesque Japanese garden with the spring flowers profusely used in the decorations and the booths of Japanese prints arranged artistica11y. There were dainty home made cakes, fancy articles, tea and a delightful supper served.
 In charge of the affair were Mrs James Carney and Mrs. George Sweesey who were ably assisted ny the following enthusiastic worker6: The Misses P. Morrill,. Lillian Phillips Margaret Dosche, Mary Caldwell Dorothy Rosworth, Marion Burga- hardt, Beatrice Hah Ruth Kann Josephine Blackham. Lucy Stebbins Mrs. Fred Shaw and Miss Lathilda MahIer. The play, 'Cherry B1os- som,'' was heartily enjoyed. It was presented by St. Mary's Guild, and Chester Harrison played the music from the "Mikado."

Y. M. C. A. MAKES
 NEW RECORD

Under the able management of Fred Bergman, Secretary in charge of the membership of the association, members joined during the month of April in such numbers that the cash recveipts were $1,O56. For. the first time in the historoy of the associa- ton the increased members were such that for three months in sue cession the membership receipts ran over a thousand dollars. This was true for February, March and April which establisheT us a new record in the membership department. Dur ing these months there has been no special membership campaign. It is simply the natural outgrowth of the membership of the association fos- tered by the splendid ability of MT. Bergmann.
 Of course it would be expected that the physical department includ- ing the gymnasium, shower baths and swimming pool are experiencing numbers larger than the association has previously known. Sometimes the two gymnasiums are hardly able to meet the demands made upon them at the same time.
 The tennis courts on Colorado avenue between Fairfield and State are being put in splendid shape and it is expected that the tennis season of the physical department of asso- citation will be the most enthusiastic and successful ever. From the early seasons applications for membership in the tennis club it seems safe to predict that that department is also going to break all records this year The first tournament of the season is just starting.
