ASSESSOR TO Collect DATA
FOR Use OF THE STATE

mas GeE received from the state

be ut this year in the collection Of
ayr tural statistics act passed in
1919 The information 20 be collect
ed 'rrs year is about the same aS
that .sst year, with a few important
change. The important change is
reg ding fruit trees. Last year as
SCISSORS we're asked to ascertain the
number Of fruit trees Of bearing age
of Tie various kinds in their counties
Sine the number Of fruit trees does
not rhange materially from year 20
year this inquiry is not repeated. A
few lines have been added 10 pro
vide for the omission of the columns
devoted to fruit trees.
The schedule is simple and all
questions may be answered by the
farmer without reference TO any books
or accounts. In addition to the num-
Der of acres OF various crops to be
raised this year. farmers are request
ed 10 give the total acreage in their
farm, acreage first cropped this
year, acres Of unbroken land fit for
farming, number of silos, number OF
hens, brood sows and tractors on
Aprl /; number OF heifers broken
for milk cows in 1920 and number OF
hogs slaughtered on their farms in
1920 Since the enumeration is be-
gun on April /. most farmers will not
have planted their crops when they
are visited by the enumerators. They
will be asked TO give the total acre
age they expect TO devote to each
crop this year, including what they
have planted and what they expect to
plant.
The law requires that each farmer
furnish the assessor or deputy with
the information asked for and pro-
vides a penalty for failure on the part
OF the farmer to comply with the as
Sessor's request II also provides
that no use shall be made of indi-
yidual reports of farmers except in
compiling total for the various coun-
ties. In other words, the individual
rnports of farmers are strictly conf
DENTAL and severe penalties are pre-
scribed for disclosing them.

Of cause. FIut-the leakage from
our main canals and iaterals. ssrOnd-
i.akaEs from reservoirs: third-oyer-
irrigation 0t our fields: fgErth-the
absence Of natural drainage
Many farms OF the state are =eriOus-
ly damaged by this vet condition Of

been wasted in the paF- by inadequate
and E8pElEaTd methods Of drainage.

only way 20 DO this is 70 make boT-

Il Is advised that al farmers who

Dor II he desires 20 do 20. But i is
not advisable for him 10 20 further
than this.
The cost Of the installation Of a
drainage system for the purpose Of
draining wet lands depends upon
many things. Firs;-the frequency OF
the drain lines; second--the size Of
tile required: third-the price Of tile;
fourth-the price Of labor:ffth-the
condition Of the ground where the tile

from SO an acre 10 SIS. With the
present prices OF tile and the present
cost Of labor, an adequate drainage
system will cost from S35 TO S.5 an
acre in ordinary land. and a farmer
may weIl stop and consider whether
or not il will pay him TO drain his
land during this time of excessive
prices.
It is my honest Judgment that he
viii find himself ahead in the end II
he delays his drainage for year or
two or until prices get back to nor
nal. When Vc think that we used
to pay from ) to 50 cents per foot
for 6-inch drain tile and that the same
tile today costs II cents per foot, If
seems that the prices are higher than
they should be- II is true that coal
cost about twice as much as il form
erly did and that labor is paid about
double the former rate. But the
cost of tile has risen 10 more than
three times its former rate.
With the present prices on the
farm products it does not seem that
yce can afford to drain until the costs
come down.

coltsfoot Substitute for Tobacco.

A common plant which has been
used as substitute for tobacco, espe-
cially for medical reasons, Is coltsfoot.
From the days of Hippocrates a decoc-
ton of coltsfoot has been held a SOW
ereign remedy for chest troubles, and
in older days the apothecaries in Paris
used to paint cOltsfOot flower on
their door posts, a silent testimony to
their opinion of the value of the plant.
Sir John Hill, after dilating on the
value Of cotsfoOt tea for colds and
coughs, says 1.-The patient should also
have some of the leaves dried and cut
small and smoke them as tobacco" In
certain remote districts in Ireland
cOltsfoOt IS often mixed with tobacco,
known as "Sinn Fein mixture" as the
coltsfoot paid no duty to the British
government.
