cident by which Mr.. Bloomfield met
his death. occurred In the upper south
Monday, September 22rd; deceased,
in company with his uncle, Mr.. VIM.
Hotf, and some Grand river men,
were gathering cattle; in addition to
the horse he was riding, George WAS
leading an extra; something caused
this animal to bump into the saddle

violent fit of bucking; the course was
down hill; before Mr.. Bloomfield
could get control Of his frightened
animal, horse and rider went over a
cliff of ~ or 10 feet in height; his
companions hastened to his aid, and
found him sitting up, but not fully
CONSCIOUS. EVERYTHING possible was
done for the injured man, but to no
avail: he passed away Tuesday morn
ing.

Bloomfield residence, Oakridge park,
Friday morning, September 10Th, and

Bad Peaches Soiling
Mail Reaching Here

Peach growers living elsewhere are
taking advantage of parcel post for
shipping fruit, to the worry of local
post office officials and the damaging
es in an overripe condition recently
of other mail. According to Postmaster
Davenport, several packages of peach
have been received in the mails here,
from contact with which other mail
has eben soiled or damaged.
Peaches are mailable under the pos
tai regulations, but it is up to the
receiving office to determine whether
they ar eproperly packed. Care is
used here, Mr.. Davenport says, to
make sure that the fruit is in eondi-
tion to reach the point of delivery
without going bad One of the chief
causes of trouble with fruit in the
mails is said to be the tendency of
some shippers to enclose in in tight
packages instead of leaving space for
the circulation of air. Little trouble
is. experienced with Grated fruit to all
sides of which air is admitted.

ment, the library and other facilities
are alleged to be totally inadequate for
prompt and thorough work, although
an unused fund of fees amounting to
nearly eight and one-quarter millions
has been allowed to pule up in the
treasury.
1t is asserted that the failure of con-
gress to provide facilities for granting
patents that really protect is due to
the fact that the situation has not been
particularly brought to its attention.
Editors, inventors, manufacturers and
others are urged to request their rep
resentatives in both branches of con-
gress to support the meritorious bills
of the patent committee of the Ma

PATENT OFFICE
ASKSPEOPLE TO
FORCE RELIEF

WASHINGTON, June 4-The Patent
Office society is calling attention to
the fact that the patent office has been
unable to obtain adequate appropria-
tions from congress for its most ur-
gent necessities; that inventors have
paid in fees a sum sufficient to have
the work of examination done prompt
ly and done thoroughly; and that while
everybody agrees that this money
should be used for that purpose, new
ertheless it has not been so used, to
the great distress of the inventors of
the country.
Thomas Ewing, commissioner of pat
ents during President Wilson's first
term, describes the situation as fol-
lows: "The patent office through the
ordinary channels is not able to infiu-
ence congress to give it proper facili-
ties Only influence from the outside
influence that is entirely proper
and legitimate, of people who are in
terested in having the thing done right
can bring effective pressure to bear
upon congress"
An earnest movement is now on foot
to remedy conditions. The patent COM
mittee of the National Research coun-
Gil has proposed certain legislation
that will increase the efficiency of the
patent office in the handling of all
matters pertaining to inventions and
patents, facilitating quick and more
thorough research, prompt determina-
ton of the rights of inventors, and
avoidance of unnecessary litigation in
the courts. The patent committee is
composed of some of the leading in
ventors, scientists, engineers and pat
ent attorneys of the country, and its
recommendations are entitled to full
acceptance and general support.
The patent committee proposes a
program of but four features believed
to be of fundamental Importance: 1)
The establishment of single court of
patent appeals to take over the appel
ldLC AOOlCI4OI AOW AOo6O0 Ill NAN
nine independent circuit courts of APP
peals; (2) The establishment of the
patent office as a separate institution
Independent of the department of the
interior; CD An increase in the per-
sonnel of the patent Office to enable il
to render prompt and efficient service
and an increase in the salaries to ap-
proximate those paid in outside patent
work so that qualified examiners may
be kept in the public service; (4) A
change in the law relating to damages
in Infringement suits to answer one
of the most common and strongest re
proaches against the patent system
namely, that a patent does not ordin
| arily pay the inventor any money.

such studies on a number of farms
where given type of farming is prac-

methods.

is studying, some of Importance are
likely to be omitted.
Both Systems are Reliable.
Either method, the committee says,
is useful and reliable when the work
is carefully conducted, but prefera-
bly, both should be used The detailed
cost accounts serve as check on the
survey work, which in it's turn shows
the relationship of the farms on which
cost accounts are kept to the average
farm.
The QUESTIONABLE sent by mail can
be used to advantage in securing sup
Elementary data from large numbers
of farmers, but, in the opinion of the
committee, it should cover only a
limited number of cost items, and the
questions should be direct and clear.
The specific items to be considered
in cost-of-production studies, the re-
port continues, will always depend
upon the enterprise under considera
tion. When the survey method is used
it is essential that the list be COM
plete enough so that no item will be
omitted either by the farmer or the in
vestigator. When the accounting meth
cd is used a classification is needed
that is broad enough to include all
charges, but the cost items will be, de-
veloped in the working out of the rec
ords and will vary with the enterprise,
/ The following grouping is suggested:
Farm Enterprise Costs.
Direct charges to farm enterprise
accounts:
Labor:
Man labor (inclEding labor of
men, women an children).
Animal labor.
Mechanical laboi (tractor and
truck.
Materials:
Crop material.
Seed.
Fertilizer.
Twine.
Opldyos
Stock materials:
Feed.
Bedding.
Cash:
Selling
Insurance
Taxes.
Threshing.
Veterinary.
Breeding fees.
Investment:
Depreciation of investment in live
stock.
Interest on investment in live
stock.
Indirect charges to farm enterprise
accounts (Consiting of labor, ma
terial, cash and investment costs that
cannot be charged as such to enter
prise accounts, but which may be as
sembled under definite headings and
distributed on the basis of use).
Use of Mechanical Equipment:
Labor materials, cash, and in
vestment charges pertaining to
mechanical equipment.
! Use of Buildings (and similar i'm
/ provements).
Labor materials, cash and in
vestment charges pertaining to
buildings.
Special Charges:
Manure, linn, eerbegidn SH HR
Manure, lime, breeding males,
perennial crops.
General Expenses or Overhead:
Labor, materials, cash and invest
ment charges that cannot be
charged direct or assembled un-
der the other indirect cost head
ings
Benefits Individual and Public.
The benefits of cost of production
studies, the report, says, accrue both
to the individual farmer and to the
public. From the standpoint of the
individual farmer, the primary pur-
poses are to record the details of the
farm business for reference, to give
an insight into the elements and inter-
relations of the different farm activi-
ties, to furnish information that many
enable the farmer to reduce costs or
otherwise increase profits, and to make
possible a comparison of the profita
bleness of the different enterprises and
combinations of enterprises. The re-
