To Make Census
of Agriculture
of All Nations

An international census of agri-
culture in 1880 is now being pro-
noted by the international institute
of Agriculture at Rome, according
to Asher Hobson, American delegate
to the Institute, who is in Washing
ton comforting with officials of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture. The purpose of the
census is to place the agri
cultural statistics of all coun-
intelligent Interpretation of world
food and fibre production and needs.
Many nations do not take agri-
cultural censuses, and the enumer-
ations of others are incompatible
because uniform terms are not used,
Mr.. Hobson says. Specialists are
being employed to study the cen
suses of the world, on the basis of
which a proposed uniform schedule
will be worked out and submitted to
each member country. 1t is hoped
that agreements can be reached by
1880 to make available at that time
a comprehensive tabulation of the
world s agriculture.
The International Institute, in
which II countries now have mem
bership, has been an important fac
tor in promoting international agri
culture through the exchange of cur
rent crop and livestock statistics
among countries, Mr.. Hobson said.
This statistis5 service has been
built up to point where for ex-
ample, the Institute reports cur
rently on 70 per cent of the world
wheat crop, exclusively in Russia.
The statistics of individual eoun-
tries are dispatched to the Institute
at Rome of telegraph, cable and
radio, where, they are tabulated and
relayed to all countries interested.
The reports to the United States are
received by the Federal Department
of Agricultural at Washington where
they are analyzed and the results
broadcast over the country by radio
and press dispatches. The service
has been important in keeping Amer
lean farmers and agricultural agen-
cies informed on world agricultural
conditions #@e so 4

That when the ostrich plumes or
neckpiece has become wet or damp
and looks bedraggled it can readily
be restored TO its original fluffmess
if she sprinkles it thickly with com
mon salt and, shakes it before a
bright fire until dry.
That if she hold 4 piece of soap
under the fabric when piercing eye
lets, letting the stiletto pass into
the soap, it will impart just suf-
ficient stiffness to the eyelet to in
sure an even embroidery.
That if a pinch of sugar is added
to the rinsing water when washing
wells they will be as crisp as when
new, after being ironed.
That holes in kid gloves can be
neatly mended by first buttonhol-
ing around the edge, then filling
in with buttonhole stitch. Oh
course the thread should perfectly
match the gloves in color.

cause It won't climb q certain hill In

test might be misleading? The re-
pairer might not have done blessed

Car Should Meet
Needs of Purchaser

(By Mr.. E. T. Strong. General Sales
Manager Buick Motor Company
There is a point. and quite an inn
portant point, in connection with the
everyday use of a motor car, that
motorists generally should take into
consideration when buying motor
car. That point is how well the
motor car in question is adapted to
the individual needs of the purchas-
er from the standpoint of per-
torrance.
To illustrate. A man who uses
his car entirely or largely within the
limitJ of big city must use 1t
within certain well-defined speed
limits in order to comply with the
ordinances and the driving condi-
lions encountered. In traffic lie
must throttle down to five or seven
miles an hour. drive from ten to
fifteen miles an hour through the
business district and from fifteen to
twenty miles an hour in the outly-
ing districts. To give him good SER
vice, his motor car must perform
economically and efficiently within
those speed limits, and have suf-
ficient reserve power to accelerate
smoothly and quickly at low speeds.
On tho other hand. any owner
who drives in the country en-
counters entirely different condi-
tons. as the major part of his
driving is done at speeds in excess
of twenty miles an hour, and a
