Birds Farmers, Best Friends.

Examination of hundreds of stom-
achs of birds, taken in different To-
calities and at all seasons, painstalling
scientific observations of the birds
habits by trained experts, have now
for many years been establishing, be-
yond question, the fact that they are
one of natures most effective checks
on the undue increase of insect and
rodent pests.
In the early days, the days before
we had scientific study of the habits
OF birds, the connection in the popu-
lar mind between birds and the SOW
ing of seed principally took the form
of speculation as to what proportion
of the sown seed or its product the
birds would get. Crows and black
birds were observed to pull corn. The
fact that some kernels were left in
the hill uneaten did not suggest to
the farmer that it was the cutworm
that the crows were really after, not
the corn.-B. S. Bowdish, in Chris
tan Herald.

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 Interpretation 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 conduct
ing agricultural operations, Ell
ther by his own lobor OF with the
assistance of members of his
household or hired employees"
In further explanation of this
definition the Census Bureau
points out that the term "agri-
cultural operations" is used as a
general term referring to the
work of growing crops, p1oduc-
ing other agricultural products
and raising domestic animals,
poultry OF bees.
From this definition it will
be seen that farm may consist
of a single tract of land or of a
number of separate and distinct
tracts. And these several tracts
may be held under different ten
ures 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 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 q
landowner has one or more ten
ants, renters, troopers or mana.
gers, each different tract Of
land operated by any such ten,
ant, renter, cropper OF manager
is considered a separate and dis,
tinct farm by the Census Burear
Or, to give an example, if a mar
owning 120 acres of land rents
40 acres to a tenant and farms
the remaining so acres himself
| his farm is the 30 acres which
Cottonwood chronicle. [volume] (Cottonwood, Idaho) 1917-current, 1919-11-07

he operates, not the 100 acres
which he owns, while the 40
acre tract which he rents to a
tenant comprises a separate
farm to be reported in the name
Of the tenant.
Another question to be de-
termined is how important does
an agricultural enterprise have
to be in order to secure recogni-
ton in the census as a farm? A
small vegetable garden or a
chicken yard accommodating a
few busy hens will not be allow
ed to qualify as a farm" in the
census no matter with what par
donable pride and satisfaction
the proprietor may view his
agricultural enterprise.
But if the garden or chicken
yard expands until it covers not
less than three acres of ground,
or until it requires for it's care
the continuous services of at
least one person, or yields pro-
ducts 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.
The agricultural schedule con-
tains many questions regarding
farm values, expenses and live
stock as well as the acreage and
quantity of crops raised in the
year 1919. Census Bureau Of
ficials are urging farmers every
where to prepare for the census
enumeration by looking over
their books and records so that
accurate answers may be fur
nished to questions.
In this connection the Bureau
of the Census emphasizes the
fact that the information furn-
ished to census takers is abso-
lutely confidential, made so by
Act of Congress, and that under
no circumstances can any such
information be used as a basis
for taxation.
Cooperation between farm
ers and the census officials next
January is more necessary and
vital than ever before" declares
Director of the Census Sam. l.

Almost anything you can think of, 1t
is said, can be seen somewhere in that
long, erratlc historic street that strays
upward from the point of Manhattan
island, cutting across the streets and
avenues of the worlds largest city
at its own sweet will. Something once
seen there by Mr.. J. B. Kerfoot, the
author of Broadway, indicates that
the enterprise, the daring and adapt
ability to new conditions that were
characteristic of the early settlers in
America are still characteristic of the
people who are crossing the Atlantic
to our shores in the twentieth CEN
fury.
One day, says Mr.. Kerfoot saw an
italian peasant woman, fresh land
ed from the steerage and dressed in
all the fete-day regalla of her native
province, chase a Broadway car for
half block In front of the post Of
flee. She caught up with it from be-
hind when it stopped at Park place,
and falling to notice the entranceway,
grasped the brake handle Of the rear
platform, threw a sturdy, red-stock-
tnged leg over the rail, and swung her
self aboard with the satisfied air of
having successfully surmounted one of
the early difficulties of the new coun-
try.
Broadway smiled, collected her fare,

viii Rotate their Hogs
In Nez Perez county, the farm
bureau is working out q system
of rotation for feeding hogs in
the orchards, with the use of sod
legume crops. The scheme of
transferring the hogs from one
field to another would take into
account the supply of water for
the hogs, The hogs would eat
the wormy apples, thus doing
great service against the cod
ding moth, but the temporary
fences would interfere more or
less with irrigating, spraying,
etc. This plan, it is pointed out,
would be of much value in main
tanning soil fertility, as well as
providing meat for the farmers
use, and hogs to sell.
500 Hens CulIed Out
In poultry culling demonstra-
tons held in six communities in
Fremont county, more than 500
hens were culled out as unprofit-
able. A united effort is being
made among farmers to eradi-
cate tuberculosis from the flocks
in the country.
Nitrate Helps Orchards
In tests made this year in use
of nitrate of soda on Kootenai
county apple orchards, benefits
were noticed in most cases, the
increase in yield being 10 per
cent in one instance. Lack of
moisture is believed to have re-
tarded the action of the nitrate
| to a large extent. More tests
will be made next year by the
same farmers. About 5000
pounds of nitrate were used in
the experiments the past season.
SilO Enters New Territory
The first silo in the Ola vici-
nifty, in Gem county, was built on
the Chandler place, under farm
bureau auspices. In this con-
nection, the Gem county farm
bureau reports that it was de-
monstrated on a corn plot that
18 tons of silage could be grown
on land which produced two tons
of timothy and clover hay, one
years crop of corn having the
feeding value of seven years
crop of hay.
HOlsteins for Camas county
Six Camas county dairymen
have entered into an agreement
with the farm bureau to take
from one to three registered
Holsteins, each, provided the
right kind of stock can be secur-
ed.

By Arthur Brooks Baker nm

The lessons which humanity has garnered
from the past are predisposed to leaking and
to leaking mighty fast. Old nature drilled her
wisdom through the skulls of ancient men, but
more than SO per cent must all be taught again;
for bangs upon a damsels brow, methodically
curled, are more attractive than the lore which
underlies the world.
The task we set the public schools is promi-
nent and tough. The intellect of juveniles is
of contrary stuff. To mold it and promote it
we require man Of parts, a Hannibal for
strategy, an Angelo in arts. We find in John
H. Beveridge master Of the tools for polish
ing the infant minds which fill the public
schools. .-
For he's the chief and principal, the high
and mighty head by whom the final verdicts of
authority are said. He marshas the assistance
of a thousand blushing ANS; he gives them
tactful orders with obsequious salaams; he
hands them fluff and fattery or mandates chaste
and cold-whatever they require to make them
do as they are told.
He wants to build junior high; it is the
modern trend among the horticuturists with
human twigs to bend. To call kid sopho-
more when he is six or eight assists the spell
ing of the word to settle in his pate. The
kndergartens soon will ape the poses of the
college, and four-year-olds will tremble under
meath their weight of knowledge.
