given on the feed three times daily.

Early AGRICULTURAL Census

Uncle Sam has decided to take the
fourteenth census on farms January
l, 1920, instead of collecting this
data as of April Is, as was done in
1910. The date was changed be-
cause farmers ordinarily are very
busy with the rush of spring work
about the middle of April, also be-
cause 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 during the winter are more
accurate than those obtained later
and comparable with the Decembe
estimates of the bureau of crop es-
Inmates.
The United States department Of
agriculture is assisting the census
bureau in making this coming agri-
cultural census as accurate and val
liable as possible. To a limited de-
ton to be secured will differ from
previous enumerations, because of
slight changes in the questions
which the enumerators will ask
farmers. These changes in the
schedule of questions have been
made by a committee composed of
L. M. Estabrook, c. w. Thompson
Farley, representing the United
States department of agriculture; H.
c. Taylor, of the University of Wis
cOnSin, recently appointed chief Of
the office of farm management of the
department of agriculture, and G. F.
Warren, of Cornell, in conference
with officials of the bensus bureau.
The questions include information
on the acreage and production of the
crops, amount sold or to be Sold
live stock classification both by sex
and age, acreage of woodland, and
the amount of land on farms drain
ed and needing drainage. Special
consideration will also be given to
matters of land tenure, farm mort
cages, land utilization, the amount of
land and acreage of crops irrigated
numbers of young live stock sold,
purchased, slaughtered, and died on
the farms, and quantity of dairy
products and wool produced. Owing
to the fundamental Importance of
these statistics, which provide basic
information relative to farms and
farming in the United States, it is
hoped that farmers throughout the
country will assist the census emu
meratOrs in every way possible in
securing accurate, reliable, and com
plete information.

SchOiield Takes Command.
The accident at Souther Field which
resulted in the death of the command
ing officer and his first assistant, cast
a deep gloom over the post. 1mmed-

ing him, Major E. S. Schofeld, who
had been first assistant executive Of

General Supply depot with the flying
field April 1, at once assumed com
mand.
Colonel Dickman and Major Butts
had been out on a customary spin Oh
20 minutes in Curtiss training plane,
equipped with a Hispano-Suiza motor.
and were preparing to land, being
only 200 feet in the air when the ac-
cident occurred. The plane, evidently
caught by the wind, was thrown into
a tail spin and it dropped to the
ground about 600 feet south of the
westernmost hangar. Several officers
and men who saw the plane fall rush
ed to the scene. The force of the
drop had driven the engine and parts
of the plane several feet into the
ground, and shovels had to be resort
ed to to rescue the bodies of the two
officers. When taken out Major Butts,
who was plotting, was dead and Col
onel Dickman expired within a few
minutes.
AS soon as the news reached head
quarters, Major Schofeld ordered the
post closed to everyone until the de-
tails Of the tragedy could be collect
ed The bodies were taken to the post
hospital where Mrs. Dickman and Mrs.
Butts, who were both on the reserva-
ton, hurried, and there it fell to the
lot of Major Schofield to tell them the
tragic news.
officers at the post stated today that
it would never be possible to deter

really caused the fall, because the
