CENSUS SHOWS SHIFTS
IN MINNESOTA FARMS

With 1885, 76 farms in 1880, Min
nesota has nearly 4 per cent more
farms than in 1920, according to L..
F. Carey of the agricultural econom-
les division, University Farm. His
statement is based on the latest u. S.
census report. This increase in Min
nesota farms since 1920 is in contrast
to decrease for the same period of
2.3 per cent in the United States as
a whole. Minneota has fewer farms
now than in 1925, however, there hav-
ing been decrease of 1.5 per cent
from 1925 to 1880. There were 49,
478 farms in 1920, 188,231 in 1925
and 185,476 in 1880.
The greatest decrease occurred in
the northeast dairy section. The de-
crease from 1925 to 1880 amounted
to 1863 per cent. The next greatest
decrease occurred in the northwest
ern part Of the state. In the counties
adjacent to the Red River the number
of farms decreased 81 per cent and
in the area adjoining these counties

cent. Small decreases occurred in the
eastern part of the state. In the east
central dairy area there was de-
creas of or per cent and in the
southeast livestock and small grain
area, which is increasing in dairying,
the decrease was IA per cent. In
the west central small grain area the
number of farms increased Al per
cent, in the southwest livestock and
small grain area 2.5 per cent, and in
the beef and hog area % per cent.
The greatest decreases came in the
portions of the state in which farm
ers depended on some outside income
Or to considerable extent on the sale
of small grain.
Any tract of land from which the
gross income was $3.50 was classed as
a farm.

Early in the spring of 1880 nearly
1000 men and women were put to
work on the temporary task of going
over the returns of the various enum-
orators and supervisors throughout
the country, and all were told that
they might expect to remain on the
job for year or possibly longer, but
that all would be discharged by the
end of 1882.
Every state in the country was re-
presented by these temporary en-
ployees of the Census Bureau and
every dialect of the American lang
uage could be heard among them.
They will all go back home singing
the praises of the capitol of their
country and they will probably do
much to increase the size of the at
tendance at the programs of the
George Washington Bicentennial
celebration here next year.
Nearly every Sunday afternoon, on
my way to the Library of Congress
to do some research work, / take oc-
casion to pass through the Capitol
building and there l notice that the
constant stream of visitors seems to
gravitate toward the National Stat
uary Hall and to tend to linger there
in silent contemplation of the vari-
Gus images presented to their view
through a policy adopted in 1864 by
the Congress, when, at the instance
of Senator Morrill, of Vermont, such
an institution was provided. The act
reads: "The president is hereby auth
orized to invite al of the states to
provide and furnish statues, in mar
BILE or bronze, not exceeding two in
number for each state of deceased
persons who have been citizens there
of, and illustrous for their historic
renown or from distinguished civic
or military service, such as each
state shall determine, to be worthy of
this national commemoration; and
when so furnished, the same shall be
placed on the old Hall of the House
of Representative which is hereby
set apart as a National Statuary
Hail."
By reading this act, it will be seen
that the states were placed under
practically no restrictions, and con-
seGuently it was possible for Missi-
ssippi last spring to unveil statue
of jefferson Davis, president of the
Confederacy which tried to overthrow
the government that provided this
hall of commemoration for distin-
guished citizens of states. Hundreds
of Northern visitors are astonished
to see jefferson Davis statue in this
place.
The only president or former pre-
sident of the United States to die
within the walls Of the Capitol was
John Quincy Adams. You will re-
member that after he was president,
he decided to serve his country long
er by accepting election to the House
of Representatives 1t was while In
| this House he was stricken.
In the Library of Congress but a
few feet inside the main doorway,
one can step upon pedestal and
gaze upon the very Declaration itself.
A feeling of awe pervades ones being
as his eyes are fixed upon that sacred
document, and, despite the many inn
PROJECTIONS which have arisen in our
J social system, one cannot help but
feel profoundly grateful for the pri-
vilege of living under the government
which was brought about because of
that immortal parchment.
