Julia n. Coulter who departed this life
October 3. 1918:
The month Of October IS here again.
To US the saddest OF all the year:
For her memory IS as dear today
As the hour that she passed away.
Day by day We saw here fade
And slowly pine away.
Yet in all our hearts, we often prayed
That she could longer stay.
Through all her suffering at times she
smiled
The smile of heavenly birth;
And when the angels called her home
She smiled farewell 10 earth

IMPORTANT FACTORS
IN LOCATING WELLS

IosIs and Other AiIments--
Some Safeguards

prepared by the United States Depart,
ment Of Agriculture)
Convenience and first cost-not SAM
tary safety-have been the deciding
factors In locating thousands Of farm
wells. On the average three out Of
four wells are within Is feet Of the
back door OF the house and III the d..
rection OF the barn.
Close proximity to barnyards. pig
pens. sink drains out buildings, and
other sources OF pollution seriously i'm
pairs the water supply, makes 1t I'M
safe and destructive to health. Ty.
phoid fever, tuberculosis, hookworm
disease, cholera, dysentery, and diar-
rhea are among the ailments caused or
Influenced by contaminated water, and
maIadles such rs hog cholera. anthrax
and foot.andmouth disease Of live
stock have been traced to water which
carries the germs Of infection.
Wells cannot be located In all cases
80 that there mny not be some pollu-
ton. but the great safeguards are clean
ground and rs wide separation as pos
s!ble from the probable channels Of
any impure drainage. 1t Is not enough
that a well or spring be 80. 100 or 100
feet from n source OF filth or merely
upon higher ground. although even
moderate remoteness and elevation Of
the source Of supply are desirable.
Given porous or gravelly ground. seamy
ledge or lonV-cOntinued pollutiOn OF
one plat Of land, the zone OF contain
ination Is likely to extend long dis
tances, particularly In downhill direc-
tons. and Mt such times as water sup
plies are lowered by drought or heavy
pumping. Only when the surface Of
the water in well or spring Is actu.
ally ut a higher level at nll times than
my nearby source Of filth Is there pos
tive assurance of safety.

mined is how important does an
agricultural enterprise have to
be in order to secure
.recog ton in the census
as farm? A small vegetable
garden or chicken yard accom-
modating a few busy hens will
not be allowed to qualify as a
farm" in the census no matter
with what pardonable pride and
satisfaction the proprietor may
view his agricultural enterprise
But if a 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 service of at least
one person, or 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.
The agriculture schedule con
talns many questions regarding
farm values, expenses and live
stock as we'll as the acreage and
quantity of crops raised in the
year 1919. Census Bureau off
Gals are urging farmers every
where to prepare for the census
enrmerator by looking over their
books and records so that ac-
curate answers may be furnished
to questions.
In this connection the Bureau
Of the Census emphasizes the
fact that the information fur
nished 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 farmers
and the census officials next
January is more necessary and
vital than ever before declares
Director of the Census. Sam. L.
Rogers. THE world war and the
part that the farmer played in it
md will continue to play in the
rehabilitation of Europe serve to
make the agriculture section of
the Fourteenth Decennial Cen
sus the most important in the
Nations history. Absolute ac-
curacy and completeness in the
census returns is the goal toward
which every citizen should
strive"

CENSUS INTERPRETATION OF
THE WORD "FARM"

Warrington, November 3
What is q farm?
Askov American. [volume] (Askov, Pine County, Minn.) 1914-current, 1919-11-06


What is q farm?
Seems 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 Cen
sus defines the word:
A farm for census purposes
is all the land which is directly
farmed by one person conduct
ing agricultural operations,
either by his own labor or 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, produc-
ing other agricultural products
and raising domestic animals.
poultry or bees.
From this definition it will be
seen that farm may consist of
q 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 ter
acres. then his farm" includes
both tracts of land comprising
10 acres.
BY the same token when 9
landowner has one or more ten,
ants. renters, troopers or manag'
ers. each different tract of land
operated by any such tenant
renter. cropper or manager is
considered a separate and dis,
tinct farm by the Census Bureau
Or, to give an example. if a man
owning 12O acres Of land rents
40 acres to a tenant and farms
the remaining so acres himself,
his farm is the so acres which he
operates not the 100 acres which
he owns, while the 40 acre tract
which he rents to tenant com.
prises n separate farm to be re.
ported in the name of the tenant
Another question to be deter.
