FARM CENSUS WILL
BEGIN JANUARY 2, 1885
cCOnfinHrd JrOm Firn Pa0el


directly or indirectly concerned. the
Census of Agriculture is considered
additionally important.
The census taken will record the
cultivation and production of lead
ing fruits and vegetables, including
apples, peaches, pears, citrus fruits
and grapes, and acreage of vege-
tables. Production figures will point
to changes in the diet of the Amer
lean people. The increase in the
amount of vegetables used. partic-
ularly during the winter months.
due to increased facilities of trans
portation, mas been disclosed in the
last two censuses of agriculture,
and it is expected that further
changes will be recorded. Production
of eggs, milk. various fruits and
nuts has been affected by transpor-
tation and new dietary information
relating to vitamins.
William L. Austin, director. Bu-
reau of Census, has requested the
cooperation of all farmers and ag-
ricultural agencies. Enumerators
will be selected from the rural as
tricts where the farms are located,
as each enumeratOr must be legal
resident of his enumeration district:
Farmers, farmers wives, sons and
daughters will be given the prefer
ence. All enumeratOrs are sworn TO
secrecy regarding the report and
the law provides that the individual
returns made by each farmer are
confidential The figures given will
not be used as a basis for taxation
nor communicated to any tax Off
cial.
Although the Census Of Agricul-
ture will ask only about one-third as
many questions as did the decennial
census taken in 1880. the changes in
farms and ranches and in the utili-
cation of land will be recorded in
detail. This will show acreage in
farms, crop land harvested. iGle
lands, crop failure, plowable pasture
and other grazing lands. woodland
and all other farm land. Expansion
of new crops, such as the soy bean
and Japanese clover will be record
ed. Total value of the farm, acreage
and vegetables. number and value of
livestock, poultry and eggs and
farm population will be included.
Many thousands are thought to
have returned to the farms, partic-
ularly following the advent OF the
and the census will dis
close this movement and its extent.
Rural housing will be one OF the
subjects of questions to be asked.
More than 100000 farms, valued
at 81 billion dollars will be includ-
ed in the census. The first count
Of number of farms in the United
States was in 1850, and at that time
there were about 100000 farms
valued at four billion dollars. The
first Census of Agriculture was
made in 1910. but did not include a
Iarm count.

Cooking Method Affects
Shrinkage of Roast Lamb

There used to be an arbitrary rule
about roasting lamb 40 minutes to
the pound" Nothing was said about
the stage of dOneness desired, oven
temperatures, or whether the meat
was to be first scared and then cook
ed slowly, or cooked at a low aver
age temperature without first scar
ing. And nothing at all was said
about the possible shrinkage of the
meat resulting from these different
methods.
Lucy NJ. Alexander, a specialist
in meat cookery in the Bureau Of
Home Economics, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, says that
while the shrinkage of lamb during
roasting depends on several factors,
the most important to the housewife
is the method of cooking used-that
is, the oven temperature and stage
to which the meat is cooked. ITO
cook the meat to just the stage we
want it We insert a meat thermom-
eter into the center of the thickest
part of the lamb leg and keep it
there all the time it is roasting. We
also use a separate oven thermom-
eter," says Miss Alexander.
I'm our tests on method of cook
ing we used several different oven
temperatures. The chief result of
these tests was that the stage to
which we cooked the lamb made
more difference than did the oven
temperatures used. For instance. the
well-done lamb lost % per cent of
its weight regardless of whether af-
ter soaring the finishing temperature
was 125' {. or 175' c. In contrast.
lamb cooked only to 76' {. medium
well-donel lost between II and II
per cent of its weight. and the lower
the oven temperature the less the
shrinkage was. Soaring increased
the loss of weight both as evaporat-
ed water and as pan drippings, but
the extra loss was mainly fat. Aver
age temperature, however, had more
influence on shrinkage than did the
initial scar"

Complete Widening !
Work For RehOb0th.
Five Points Road
Some European Countries Are Try.
ing A New Method OF EncOurag-
ing Careful Driving On The High
ways.

The widening of the road from
Five Points to Rehoboth Beach to
an extra width of four feet has been
completed this week by the Old Line
Construction Company, which sectir-
ed the contract. The Company was
fortunate in receiving very good
weather after their start and the
work of laying the concrete was fin
ished much sooner than anticipated
at this time. Although. the shoulders
are now being filled in, the road -
open to travel with plenty OF width
for careful drivers and. affords con-
siderable satisfaction not only to the
residents of Rehoboth Beach but to
a large part of the entire State who
have formerly been compelled to use
the narrower road, especially when
the summer traffic was at its
height.
Some European countries are try-
ing a new method of encouraging
careful driving on the highways. Ev-
cry time two automobiles have
collision, the drivers of both care
are put in Jail for three days while
an Official investigation is made.
London, England, plans to hold
automobile drivers entirely respou+
sible for all injuries to pedestrians
who cross the streets at regulaEs
designated crossings. II a pedesr
trian is struck while he is within the
boundaries of regular crossing,
the driver will automatically he
judged guilty and no excuses will be
accepted. 81
