POPULATION is DECREASING.
Recent Ali-Russian Census Shows Loss
in Population.

The recent all-RuSsian census under
Bolshcvist rule. only partially com
pleted, shows that the population OF
Russia has decreased considerably
since the beginning of the revolution,
according TO an article in the kras'
naia Gazette Uted Gazette). Although
the census took place on August 18th,
no complete returns are available yet.

Turkomans. and also the localities re.
Gently freed from the white armies.
Up to the present the central statisti'
cal department has received returns
from 32O counties, $40 cities and fifty.
eight provinces.
From twenty-five provinces, includ'
ing the city of Moscow. complete re-
turns have already been received. On
the whole returns are still outstand-
ing from As per cent of rural districts
and % per cent of the cities. Never
theless. the data already on hand af.
ford wealth of material for observ'
ing the changes in the distribution OF
the population of soviet Russia.
First and foremost. the census es-
tablishes the indubitable fact that the
population of Russia has decreased
since the beginning of the revolution.
For twenty provinces on which data
are obtainable for both periods the
census of 1917 gave total population
of 30.O0O,OOO. The census of August
2Sth, 1920. however, enumerated ohi!
27,OOO,OOO inhabitants. Il loss OF lO per
cent And this. Notwithstanding the
fact that after the conclusion of peace
following the world war millions ol
soldiers and war prisoners returheu
to their homes. The cause of tils Is
that the mortality rate has grown
considerably, while the birth rate mas
decreased during the years of war anu

"THEM," AS AN ADJECTIVE.

II HE use of such expressions as 81

course. one of which persons who e1-
ercise even moderate degree Of care
in speaking, would not be guilty. Yet
the use of ''them" as an adjective is
not limited by any means to those
who are uneducated or careless In
other respects. Perhaps this is due.
as are so many other examples of in
elegant or faulty speech, to the effect
of constant repetition. person Of
education hears others employ the ex-
preston, "them boys" or "those
kind" and similar ungrammaticai ex-
pressions, and falls unconsciously in
to the same errors.
"Them" is pronoun. third person,
plural, objective case form of "they,"
and should never be employed us an
adjective, before noun, instead of
"those" or "these." Therefore, II saw

should be 'T saw those boys, or 81

BUSH VELVET BEAN FAVORED
Particularly Useful With Corn az II
Does Not Make Harvesting a
Difficult Problem.

Reports from 400 cooperators Of the
United States Department Of Agricul-
ture who tested bush velvet bean In
1920 for the first time are highly
commendatory. Three-fourths Of
those reporting consider the bean a
market success, and over half Of them
believe 1t to be superior to any other
variety, everything taken into con-
sideration. Two uses Of the bean
meet with particularly enthusiastic
praise. First, is its use in corn,
where its nontwining habit Is very
desirable, as 1t does not pull the corn
down and make harvesting difficult
as do the twining varieties. Second,
1t is found ideal as cover and greer
manure crop in citrus orchards, being
far superior for this purpose to any
other legume yet found. It's use
should considerably reduce the fer
tilizer bill for citrus orchards.

CHIEF SEA SCOUT REPORTS.

At the last national council meet
ing the chief sea scout. James A.
Wilder, made this report:
"We have found our sea legs. After
some backing and filling as to the
best methods, we have, with the ad-
vice of some 400 executives, and 9TH
ers, settled on the course TO be steered.
This decision has steadied the sea-
coast program and the taffrail log be-
gins to register more speed. ,Novem-
ber, 1920, was our banner month, fol-
lowed by the record breakers, Decem-
Der and January, 1920 and 1921. As
we go to press, February, 1921, has al
ready broken the record again. We
have registered more ships in the last
Eve months than in the previous three
years. This is at the rate Of ITO per
cent increase annually.

steps have already been taken by 1O4

San Francisco, Honolulu and others,
the program has been under way for
several years without the registry OF
a single ship, because of a vote ITO
thoroughly train leadership before ad-
mitting boys to membership. The sea-
scouts, at the rate we are growing at
present. will be 200 "ships" in 1922. II

LATE CROP AFTER POTATOES
Corn Can Be Planted Between Rows
About Two Weeks Before Tubers
Are Harvested.

In most sections the early potatoes
can be followed by late crop Of sweet
corn planted between the rows Of po-
tatoes about two weeks before the
potatoes are dug. Late cabbage plants
can be set between the rows of po-
tatoes, then the soil worked about the
cabbage plants when the potatoes are
dug. Turnips can be grown broadcast
on the land after early potatoes. Late
potatoes, planted about June 1 to 20
in the north and late In July In the
south, occupy the ground untfl frost
and produce the main supply for win
ter use.
