Farmers Asked
to Cooperate
with Carriers
CARDS DISTRIBUTED BY CAR
RIERS FOR IMPORTATION ON
HOG PRODUCTION AND CROP
ACREAGE.

Since there is misunderstanding on
the part of some farmers in this To-
cality as to the usefulness of the in
formation as to hog prediction and
crop acreage obtained from the cards
distributed by the rural mail carr
riers Postmaster H. w. Ward has re-
uuested the Redwood Gazette to pub
ished him by the United States De-
ished him by he United States De-
partment of Agriculture.
These surveys are made with the
help of the rural carriers, who either
ber of farmers along their routes,
with the request that these be fillel
out, or the carrier fills out the card
himself by interviewing the farmer.
The carrier is instructed to get in
formation from farms which will
give a good average picture or SAM
pie of farms on his route, preferably
by taking all of the farms along a
part of his route, big and little.
If fair Sample of all farms is re-
turned in each State, figures for
these farms should show the same
changes as all farms. 1t is impossi-
bic to take an actual census enumer-
alton of all farms each year, so
changes in production and acreage
each year must be estimated from
samples. The nearer these samples
are to being exact, the more correc.
will be the estimates.
The need and value of such infor-
nation for individual farmers and
agriculture in general hardly need be
stressed. Without dependable in
formation as to actual production
and trends of production both of live
stock and crops more balanced pro-
duction and better market distribu-
ton are impossible.
The Department of Agriculture is
the best qualified agency to under
take such work, but the accuracy of

curaey of the returns made by farm

BUSY;
EASTER is BLAMED
Arrests During Past Week Double, Say Police - More
Thefts Than During Christmas Holidays.

Arrests for shoplifting for the
past week are double those Of other
weeks, police records today showed.
The reason: Easter.
Elaborate displays Of Easter crea-
tons exhibited in downton stores
caused eleven young women In the
past week to depart the straight and
narrow path for one that leads to the
matron's office at police station.
Private detective agencies, protect
ing stores, say that they have been
forced to increase their details OF
operatives in the stores. Although
thieving in downtown stores is great
during the Christmas holidays, the
amount Of wearing apparel stolen be-
fore Easter surpasses the loot OBJ
tanned in the holidays. Jewelry, UNI
brellas, stationery and toys attract
the Christmas shcplifters, police say.
With but two exceptions, all of
the ONE arrested confessed they
stole because they wanted some
thing new and pretty to wear
Easter" Woman's vanity and an
empty purse prompted their actions,
officials say.

When he left her at the door he
leaned down and whispered in her
ear. II love you-you dear!"
HE went into her room and
began undressing in a swift,
III breathless excitement. The
acuteness of her sensations; the
half terrified thrill surprised and
Mortified her. She looked at her
hands, feeling vividly the movement
of his lips.
Her thought was submerged in
her emotion that kept stealing over
her in waves, repeating II love you"

eyes glowed into hers.
Did he love her? Did he mean It?

blushed to find herself wondering;
more than half believing.
Her memories distracted her all
