Enumeration Turns Rescuer

In the central part Of New York
state, near Oswego, few days ago an
enumerator making his rounds on snow
shoes arrived at an isolated farm dwell
ing only to find that an able-bodied
man was needed more than a census
gatherer as the man of the family had
been sick in bed for several days and
the farm animals were suffering for
lack of food and water. The census
man, like any good neighbor would,
stopped long enough to do the chores,
dig out paths through the deep snow
and put things in ship-shape order be-
fore continuing his journey.

Mr. Hubbard is very well pleased
with the work of the government
geologlst in the local field. He states
that they are a great aid to the
local producers in many ways, chief of
which are the issuing of the maps 70
the companies, showing the sand
stratas, and the contour designs. He
asserts that the late methods which
the government experts are pursuing
in the Hewitt field are a great i'm
provement over the old. BY late meth
ods, Mr. Hubbard explains that the

tanning their data from actual work
on the fields, instead of relying sole
ly on information furnished them by
the companie5 as heretofore. Their
study of the sand conditions, he states
