Farmers Asked to
Help With Census

Edwin T. Meredith. secretary or
agriculture. has appealed to Am
erican farmers to give their hearty
cooperation In securing q full an
accurate census Of the farms. The
department Of agriculture has been
informed by the bureau of the CEN
sus that the work of taking the
farm census Ia not proceeding as
we'll as had been hoped, partly owing
to the winter weather as contrasted
to the spring and summer days when
the census has been taken In past
years.
'sIf one farm Is missed in the CEN
sus enumeration the returns will De
incomplete" says the department or
agriculture. 1T is the public duty, as
we'll as to the individual benefit, OF
every farmer to have his farm re-
presented in the census"
All farmers are asked to assist the
census enumerators to obtain COM
l,plete figures for their own and their
neighbors' farms. II IL is believed
that any farm has been missed the
local ,enumerator should be noti-
/ fed. A note mailed thru the post
office addressed simply to The
| United States Census Supervisor
will be delivered to the district sup
ervisor and receive prompt atten-
, ton. ~
| Farmers are reminded that. accord
Ing to law. information they furnish
the census enumerators is absolute
| ly confidential and can not be given
to income-tax collectors or tax as
SCISSORS and must not be used for
any purpose other than the compila :
ton. OF census reports. Census en-
umerators are prohibited by law
from making public any Of the in
formation they obtain in their Of
fetal duties.
The delay and difficulty in the
work Of enumerating the farms Is
a matter Of serious concern to the
department of agriculture. The CEN
sus shows the changes Of the past
ten years, the present conditions. and
furnishes other data which are es-
sential to the satisfactory consid-
Grafton Of many important problems
in the field of agriculture. The GEN.
sus figures are particularly useful to
the bureau Of crop estimates, because
they are the basis of the govern
ment reports until the next census
Is taken. The census report of acre
ages, etc, by counties, Is the foun-
dalton on which is built up the struc-
ture of the estimated production and
supply, upon which prices depend
and upon which in turn depend the
welfare both of the farmer who pro-
duces the supplies and Of the gen.
eral public that consumes them. In
telligent action on such matters as
farm tenancy and ownership. eco
nomical marketing of farm products,
and other important problems will
depend upon accurate, reliable GEN.
sus returns.

GRADES Foa WHEAT TO STAY
Will Not Cease to Be Enforced Wher
Grain Corporation Passes.

Grain Corporation Passes.
Federal grades for wheat will not
cease to be enforced under the
United States grain standards act
when the grain corporation ceases to
function. Reports have been receiv-
ed by the bureau OF markets that
farmers and grain dealers in some
parts of the country are under the
impression that the federal grades
and the grain corporation Will go
out" together. This rumor may be
due to the fact that the grades went
into effect at the beginning OF the
1917 crop movement. at. approx
mately the same time that the Food
Administration Grain Corporation
began it's control of wheat market
ing.
The grain corporation was created
under a war emergency law. Inc
law which empowers the secretary OF
agriculture to fix grades was approx
ed August II, 1915. and Is a perma-
nent measure. Federal grades for
wheat had been contemplated by the
department of agriculture for several
wears prior to the entry of the Unlted
States into the war. and q large
amount of investigational work had
been done toward establishing ma
tional wheat standards. The wheat
grades would have been established
at the time they were even II there
had been no war and therefore no
grain corporation. The grades were
promulgated by the secretary o.
agriculture on March 81. 1917, to
become effective on July /. 1917. for
winter wheat and on August l, 1917,

Reduced Production
of Food Threatened

Serious risk OF reduced, food pro-
duction this year because Of high
wages demanded by farm laborers.
high cost Of farm equipment and
supplies and because of pronounced
movements OF people from the farms
to the cities Is Indicated by reports
and letters that are reaching the
United States department of agrlcul-
ture from many sections of the coun-
try.
The most definite Of these reports
come from New York. where records
of the population on 3,775 represent
tative farms on February this year
and February l year ago were
made by federal and state workers.
II was disclosed that during the past
year the number of people on these
farms decreased nearly per cent
and the number of hired men de-
creased more than II per cent. il
the same ratio holds for all farms in
the state about $4,000 men and boys
left farming to go into other indus
tries. while only about 1900 have
changed from other industries to
farming. This is a more rapid move
ment from the farm to other indus
tries than took place in the early
| part of the war.
The same conditions in varying de-
grees exist in all sections, according
to the federal bureau of crop esti-
mates. altho they are not so acute
farther from Industrial centers. -
Another New York report, applic-
able in some degree In every part OF
the country, is that farm wages this
year will average IA per cent high
er than they were in 1919, altho In
1919 they were 81 per cent higher
than they We're at the beginning of
the war. Estimates from 800
farmers in all parts OF New York
state indicate that inexperienced
farm help. hired by the month. Will
be paid this year about S52 month
and board. as compared with $4S.oo
last year. Experienced married men,
not boarded but provided with O
house and farm products, are expect
ed to receive on the average about
$3.50 a month in cash as compared
with $50 last year.
Numerous letters from field work
ers or from farmers indicate wide
spread disposition to cut down plant
ings SO that the work of cultivatinS
can be attended to by the farmer
himself or by members of his family.
The assertion that farmers can, not
pay the high wages demanded In
competition with other industries ana
make profit on their products IS
frequently made. Many farmers
also. declare it is unfair to them TO
be under the necessity OF working
ten. twelve or more hours a day
when the tendency OF other indus
tries is toward a shorter working
day, and a-decreased output.

Mineral Matter and. Milk.

Experiment conducted by the bur
reau Of animal industry. with dairy
cows are showing an important re-
lation between milk secretion and
certain mineral substances. Feeding
compounds of phosphorus and CAL
cium have resulted in a decidedly
beneficial effect on the milk flow in
both quantity and fat content.
1t has. been shown also that a de-
nciency OF phosphorus in dairy RAJ
lions has a detrimental effect on
milk secretion Of cows and growth
OF calves. A remedy was found in
the, addition of sodium phosphate to
rations deficient in, phosphorus. The
work Is being continued.

LARGE Cows Excel la, Yield.
Cow testing records based on

testing associations are being analyz-
ed by specialists. The tabulations
have brought out number OF in
teresting relations between milk pro-
duction. butterfat test,tbutterfat pro-
duction. and income over cost of
feed. The larger cows excelled the
medium and small cows in produc-
ton Of both milk and butterfat.
The average annual milk produce
ton of all the animals was $685.
pounds per COW. and the average
butterfat production 246 pounds.
These figures are considerably larg-
er than the average for the United
States. indicating that dairymen who

Immunity to Hog Cholera Lasting.
| A series Of recent experiments on
duration Of immunity to hog cholera
following simultaneous inoculation
Of young pigs supports the conclusion
that the protection Is lasting. The in
vestigations were conducted at Ames,
, by specialists, of the department Of
! agriculture.
Altogether III pigs. inoculated
! when q week to six weeks old and
exposed to hog cholera, at times
varying from months to months
and rs days later. were found with
out exception to be immune to that
disease.
Three of the pigs. however, died
during the period of exposure from
causes other than hog cholera.
There was no apparent ill-effect
from the simultaneous incubation
in any of the pigs.
There was no difference in the i'm
munity Of pigs from immune and
non immune sows.
PRS that were approximately one
week old received 10 cubic cent?
meters of antihog cholera serum and
" C. c. Of virus. Pigs that were three
weeks old or more received from 10
to 20 c. c. Of serum and from u to
Y C. c. virus.
Immunity was tested by injecting
5 C. c. Of virus into the animals when
they had attained weights exceeding
in many cases, 200 pounds. None Of
the hogs contracted cholera. The
experiments appear to disprove as
sertions by some observers that SIM
! ultaneous incubation of young pigs
is not lasting and that immunity
disappears at stages Of growth var
iously placed from weaving time up
to so or 60 pounds in weight.

One pound of cottonseed meal per

is the most satisfactory quantity to
feed work animals. according to re-
cent experiments conducted by the
United States Department Of Agri-

meal to work horses and mules at
the Government farm, Beltsville, Nd.
was begun in 1918. and continued
last year. When the meal was fed in
large quantities harmful effects
were apparent. however, indicating
that cottonseed meal, like any other
high protein feed. must be fed with
care to horses and mules.
