Farm Census to be
Taken in January
Government Changes Old Plan Because
Of Inconvenience to Agri-
81. culturaliSts.

Uncle Sam has decided to take the
fourteenth census on farms January J.,
1920, instead Of collecting this data as
Of April Is, as was done in 1910. The
date was changed because farmers or
sdinarily are very busy with the rush Of
spring work about the middle Of April,
also because the April Is date comes
during the midst of the breeding season
when the number Of young stock is not
comparable between northern and
southern regions, and finally because
the returns on the crops obtained dur
ing the winter are more accurate than
those obtained later and comparable
with the December estimates of the
bureau Of crop estimates.
The United States department. Of
agriculture is assisting the census bu.
reau in making this coming agricul-
tural census as accurate and valuable
as possible To a limited degree the
character Of the informal ton to be Sc
cured will differ from previous enumer-
atoms, because Of slight changes in the
questions which the enumeration will
ask farmers.

BOY SCOUT NOTES

The campaign for more Scouts is still
on. Prospects are that we will soon
have two troops Of Boy Scouts in War
rem. IL we don't then please do not
blame it to the faithful old scouts of
Troop l. They know what it means to
be scout, and they are anxious to
share good thing with their fellows.
Now you fellows who are not scouts,
but should be, won't you please accept
q gift-a privilege? 1t is privilege
to be a scout.
You probably wondered why the Boy
Scouts were not in the parade last Fri
day. Well, it was this way Nearly all
the members of Troop 1 are in the
Juvenile Band. So after all, they were
in the parade. We certainly would
nave liked to have seen them march
in their o. DIS, but we are also glad
that they were in the band. You see. a
scout can earn Merit Badge in music.
We are still on the lookout for an
Assistant Scoutmaster. He is a COM
misstoned officer, and is selected. of
course, because Of certain special quail
lfications. In a general way, he must
be at least eighteen years of age. He
receives his commission upon the re-
commentator of the Scoutmaster and
the troop committee. We have it from
very good authority that the Scout
master has his eyes on some of you
older boys who have been scouts.
Last week we promised you that we
would tell you something about the Boy
Scout Organization Thinking the mat
ter over, we soon came to the con-
clusion that giving merely something
about the organization was mighty
big undertaking. Consequently, we are
obliged to scatter said information
through the column from time to time.
Did you ever know that there are
100000 registered scouts? Did you
ever know that there are 1880 honest
to goodness grown up men in the Boy
Scouts of America? Woodrow Wilson
is one of them. He is the Honorary
President Of the scouts. 14,410 of them
are Scoutmasters. One Major General
in the U. s. army lost no time when he
| arrived from across by taking charge
of Boy Scout Troop. He said it was
one Of the most important things he
had to do.
Did you ever know that the Boy
Scouts hold Federal charter granted
| by Congress? A recent act of Congress
providing for the reorganization of the
Army, and which makes it unlawful for
any person not in the service to wear a
uniform similar to that Of the Army,
made specific exceptions as to the Boy
Scouts.
! We notice that our column is getting
rather long, so will you pardon us if
we keep you in suspense until next
week? Thank you. We knew you
would. Taps.
