received at this time by The Sun from

Rogers, director, but are subject to
revision. The figures for domestic
animals in 1910 are not very closely
comparable with those for 1920 since
the present census was taken in Jan
uary, before the breeding season had
begun, while the 1910 census was
taken in April or about the middle Of
the breeding season, and included
many spring calves, colts and soforth.
In Carbon county two hundred and
thirty-five farms we're found, as
against n hundred and seventy-one, all
being operated by white farmers.
There were thirty-three tenants this
year, compared with fifteen ten years
ago, and total acreages had decreased
from 1884 to l2,li7 The values had
increased from s072, $50 to si.52O.Oij
