FACTS OF THE FARM CENSUS IMPORTANCE OF THE COMING WORK TO HORTICULTURIST Detailed Report of Quantity and Value of All Crops Will Be Required—Comparison of Figures With Former Years of Great Practical Aid to Agricultural Interests of Country [Specially Contributed to The Gazette] In addition to taking an inventory of our national farm wealth, April 15, 1910, the Census will require from every farm operator a detailed report of the quantity and value of all crops and other products grown or produced on his farm during the present calendar year, that is, the year ending December 31, 1909. A comparison of these figures with the corresponding figures for 1899 will be of great practical value to the agricultural interests of the country, and will throw light on many interesting questions. What progress has agricultural science made in ten years? Is the scientific work of the Department of Agriculture showing results? Are the improved grains and grasses so highly recommended by the Department proving productive and profitable? Are the new fruits and vegetables developed at our experiment stations and introduced from foreign countries becoming of commercial importance? Is the average fertility of our farms being increased by the highly exploited methods of crop rotation, by the more general cultivation of clovers and other legumes, or by the increased use of commercial fertilizers? These are erations as is required by the census bureau. In urging the co-operation of the farmer in the work of securing an accurate report of agriculture in 1909, the director of the bureau is giving the widest possible publicity to the scope of the inquiry. The questions to be asked have been published in detail in many of the daily and weekly papers and in most of the farm journals. But something more than mere advance knowledge of these questions is necessary to insure accurate answers. They should be studied carefully and the answers written down in such form that they can be preserved until the date of enumeration. The preparation of this record will not only be of the greatest possible assistance to the census bureau, but it will be highly instructive and valuable to every farmer who undertakes it, and in many cases will mark the beginning of permanent annual records which will eventually result in placing agriculture on an accounting level with the other productive industries. As in the case of the farm inventory, no special blanks are required for the record of farm products of 1909. An ordinary note book with leaves at least six inches wide will be found convenient. The following information will be called for: 1. Farm expenses in 1909. A. Amount spent in cash for farm labor (exclusive of house work.) B. Estimated value of house rent and board furnished farm laborers in addition to cash wages paid. C. Amount spent for hay, grain, and other produce (not raised on the farm for feed of domestic animals and poultry. D. Amount spent for manure and other fertilizers. ber of inquiries, operator will not answer one-second questions, hence midable appearance should occasion four months review the results which the result and prepare for merator.

Are the new fruits and vegetables developed at our experiment stations and introduced from foreign countries becoming of commercial importance? Is the average fertility of our farms being increased by the highly exploited methods of crop rotation, by the more general cultivation of clovers and other legumes, or by the increased use of commercial fertilizers? These are questions of importance in their bearing upon our national food supply. The marked increase in the cost of living, which has been almost constant since 1899, is attracting more attention than any other question now before the people of this country. Many explanations, based on widely varying theories, are being offered. Some of them reflect seriously on the intelligence, industry and business methods of the American farmer, and assert that prosperity is begetting indolence and wastefulness. Others attribute the prevailing high range of prices chiefly to economic conditions entirely apart from agriculture. One thing is certain; the farm statistics of the Census of 1910 are being awaited with intense interest, and will be studied and analyzed and discussed as never before. The Census Bureau fully realizes this fact and is sparing no effort or expense to make the coming farm census so complete and so accurate that doubt cannot be thrown on any logical conclusion based on the published data. In addition to the importance of the farm census from the general economic standpoint, it should be remembered that the monthly estimates of crops and live stock made by the department of agriculture are all based on the census returns, and would quickly lose their significance unless periodically revised in accordance with the census figures. The value of trustworthy estimates is fully appreciated by most farmers, and it is very desirable that they shall also appreciate the necessity of maintaining a high degree of accuracy in those estimates if dangerous and misleading conclusions are to be avoided. As in the case of farm wealth, the accuracy of the census figures for the year 1909 depends upon the accuracy of the information furnished by the farmers. Those who keep no record whatever of their farm operations will naturally have difficulty in answering satisfactorily many of 1. Farm expenses in 1909. A. Amount spent in cash for farm labor (exclusive of house work.) B. Estimated value of house rent and board furnished farm laborers in addition to cash wages paid. C. Amount spent for hay, grain, and other produce (not raised on the farm for feed of domestic animals and poultry. D. Amount spent for manure and other fertilizers. No inquiry is made regarding the household or personal expenses, or expenditures for repairs or improvements. Each of the four questions asked is of fundamental importance in its bearing on agriculture as an industry. 2. Live stock. A. Number of young animals of each kind born on the farm in 1909. B. Number of animals of each kind purchased in 1909 and the amount paid; number sold and amount received; and number and value of those slaughtered on the farm. 3. Dairy products. A. Quantities and value of milk, butter and cheese produced on the farm in 1909. B. Quantities of milk, butter, cream, butter fat and cheese sold in 1909 and amounts received. 4. Poultry and eggs. A. Value of poultry of all kinds raised in 1909, whether sold, consumed, or on hand. B. Amount received from poultry sold in 1909. C. Quantity and value of eggs produced in 1909. D. Quantity and value of eggs sold in 1909. 5. Wool and mohair. Number and total weight of fleeces shown in 1909 and amount received from sales. 6. Crops. For each crop harvested on the farm in 1909 give the number of acres, the quantity produced, and the value of the product, the number of acres of each crop to be planted for harvest in 1910, will also be called for by the enumerator. This cannot be determined much before the date of the enumeration. Instead of giving the number of acres in orchards and vineyards, give as nearly as possible the number of trees and vines of bearing age. The quantity of certain fruit products; as cider, vinegar, wine, and dried fruits produced in 1909 will be required, as will also the quantity and value. Literature are those of any other try.

As in the case of farm wealth, the accuracy of the census figures for the year 1909 depends upon the accuracy of the information furnished by the farmers. Those who keep no record whatever of their farm operations will naturally have difficulty in answering satisfactorily many of the census questions regarding the crops and products of 1909, especially so, as the enumerator will call nearly four months after the close of the crop year. Farmers who keep records (not necessarily books in the accounting sense) will be able to give the exact figures required as rapidly as the enumerator can set them down. The advantages of keeping accounts are so well understood by most farmers that any extended argument in favor of the practice is superfluous. "Highly desirable, but too much trouble" is the expression commonly heard whenever farm accounts are mentioned. This attitude has been brought about largely by the experience of farm operators with the more or less complicated account books sold by subscription and mail order book companies. The plausible agent, or alluring advertisement, sells the farmer a beautifully bound combination sales book, cash book, journal and ledger with all modern improvements and a free book of instruction thrown in. After a few days experience the customer concludes that he must either employ a force of accountants or else hire some one to run his farm while he takes an advance course at a business college. An attempt at elaborate bookkeeping reflects a laudable purpose, but frequently leads to the abandonment of all records, even those essential to so general a report of the year's op- acres of each crop to be planted for harvest in 1910, will also be called for by the enumerator. This cannot be determined much before the date of the enumeration. Instead of giving the number of acres in orchards and vineyards, give as nearly as possible the number of trees and vines of bearing age. The quantity of certain fruit products; as cider, vinegar, wine, and dried fruits produced in 1909 will be required, as will also the quantity and value of sugar, syrup and molasses produced from cane, sorghum, sugar beets and inple trees. 7. Sales of specified products in 1909. A considerable part of the annual production of corn, oats, barley, kafir corn, milo maize, hay, flax-fiber and straw, other straw, corn stalks and cotton seed is usually consumed on the farm. Owing to this fact, a report will be asked concerning the quantity of each of these products sold in 1909 and the amounts realized therefrom. 8. Forest products. The value of all forest products cut or produced in 1909 for farm consumption will be asked, as will also the value of similar products cut or produced for sale, including receipts from the sale of standing timber. 9. Irrigation. Farmers who irrigate their land will be asked to report the source from which water is obtained, the number of acres of pasture land irrigated, and the total irrigated acreage. This outline covers every important question that will be asked concerning the farm products of 1909. American agriculture is so diversified, so highly specialized in many of its branches, that any schedule designed to secure a fairly complete exhibit of its resources and operations must necessarily contain a large num- ANAHEIM GAZETTE of the ing an ore in leau is publicity the ques publish-ily and of the more age of insureuld be answers that they state of of the to the highly every in maing of which will agricul- with the inven-required sets of with will be ing in ear farm (x.) rent carers in win, and the farm and re and ber of inquiries. The average farm operator will not be called upon to answer one-seventh of the printed questions, hence the somewhat formidable appearance of the schedule should occasion no alarm. More than four months remain in which to review the results of the year 1909, which the results of the year 1909 and prepare for the visit of the enumerator. But preparation of a written record should be commenced at once. No one should attempt to complete it in one evening, but the work should be divided as indicated in the above outline, one evening being given up to farm expenses, a second to live stock, a third to dairy products and so on through the list. In this way, each topic can be given the consideration it deserves, and the resulting figures are certain to be more accurate than if compiled hastily. Agriculture has made greater progress in the United States during the past hundred years than in any other country of the world since the beginning of history. From a primitive means of subsistence, pursued by each individual farmer without knowledge of the methods or experience of farmers in other sections of the country, it has developed into a most highly organized national business. Its bibliography and current literature are more extensive than those of any other branch of industry. Its study as an industrial science enters largely into the curriculum of our most famous educational institutions. It has hundreds of colleges, academies, and high schools of its own. Government farms and experiment stations are found in every state and territory. Bulletins describing in detail the results of scientific research are issued by the million and reach the most remote parts COLLIER A MACHINE MISFIT WEARS RAILROAD COLLAR, AND IN DECENCY OUGHT TO RESIGN Admits Marking Up Hotfoot Morrison's Papers In Recent Contest for Horticultural Commissioner—Would Have Appointed An Unfit Pushite Rather Than a Competent Democrat Because of the fact that he came from one of the leading fruit growing counties in the state and because this movement for the new horticultural law really originated in this county, Assemblyman Collier introduced that measure in the legislature. It has developed since that he knew very little regarding the provisions of the bill, but the fact that he introduced it gave him a certain prestige in the matter, and Governor Gillett named him as one of the three state examiners for which the law provides. The duty of these examiners is to pass on the qualifications of men who take the examination to qualify themselves for the appointment as horticultural commissioners in the various counties of the state. In other words, they are to sift out incompetent men and certify to the practical and technical ability of applicants who pass. If the work of the board is done honestly and efficiently, it should be of the highest value to the fruit interests of the state. Mr. Collier, however, seems to regard the place as one in which to do machine politics of the cheapest character; and he is showing about as much consideration of the fruit in- UNCLE SAM'S GREAT WEALTH More Money Than Many Nations Have Hay Uncle Sam has today more than 80,000,000 loyal subjects. They occupy 3,000,000 square miles of territory, and they own $120,000,000,000 of wealth. On farms valued at $25,000,000,000 we produce annually agricultural products valued at $8,000,000,000. It is nothing that we produce annually 2,500,000,000 bushels of corn and 11,000,000 bales of cotton, if there is no demand for the corn and cotton and if the demand is not at a fair return. But we have the market. Our 5,500,000 people, who produce $15,000,000,-000 of manufactured products annually and receive in wages $230,000,-000, make the market. These figures apply only to finished product. We get the products to the consumer by 250,000 miles of railroad, which is three times the railroad mileage of Great Britain, France and Germany combined. When side tracks are taken into account, we have more railroad mileage than all the rest of the world. On these railroads we have 100,000 engines, carrying millions of cars and hauling 2,000,000,000 tons of freight. This practically equals all the tonnage carried by all the railroads and all the ships of the rest of the world. This monstrous task is performed by 5,500,000 of employees who are yearly paid $2,300,000,000,and this vast business is conducted by $150,000,000,000 of bank clearance. Do we prosper? Only two decades ago we were second to Great Britain in the output of iron and steel. Today our output equals all the rest of the world.

For sale by all dealers MAXIMUM AND MINIMUM RATES In the next few months the Tariff Board which has been appointed by President Taft to make an investigation which will enable him intelligently to apply the maximum and minimum section of the Payne law will have its full share of responsibility. This board is to ascertain the facts as to whether foreign countries are imposing undue discriminations against the products of the United States. Where such discrimination is found to exist the President has power to increase the tariff duties 25 per cent on March 31, 1910. It is to be hoped that the combined efforts of the Tariff Board and the Diplomatic officers of the United States will result in promoting better trade relations with all the nations of the world. In some quarters it has been intimated that a trade war with Canada is possible. The people of the United States desire no commercial upheaval of this character. In many respects there is a common business interest between this country and the Dominion government. It would be most unfortunate to the commerce of both countries if anything like a trade war should come at this time. The program was a beautiful one, but it ran against a snag in the person of E. K. Carnes, a former River-sider, third member of the examining board and its secretary. Mr. Carnes was appointed to the position because of his technical knowledge, and he evidently has no sympathy with the idea entertained by Mr. Collier and Mr. Garey that the function of the board is to help push politicians get jobs. He refused to certify to Mr. Morrison's fitness and claimed that the changes made in his markings had been forwarded to him too late; that he had certified that Mr. Bishop was the only applicant from Orange county who had passed; and that closed the incident, so far as the examiners were concerned. When this news was received in Orange county, there was a panic among the "push" leaders. Mr. Collier rushed down there to see what he could do. Appeals were made, so it is said, to Walter Parker or his henchmen in Los Angeles. And as a last resort the attorney general was appealed to for some interpretation of the law that would permit the appointment of Morrison. But he could not see it that way; and finally the Orange supervisors appointed Bishop, much to the delight of the fruit growers of that county, who wanted a practical fruit man in the position and not a practical politician like Morrison. And Morrison and his friends are still wondering how it all happened.—Riverside Press. For Sale: Budded Valencia orange trees. Also seed bed orange stock. S. B.

Think of going over this route of 500 miles in 19 hours, 13 minutes, 30 seconds, chopping 11 hrs, 12 min. 30 sec from last year's record, which was, at the time, considered phenomenal. NOW LISTEN Now listen—the BUICK had not a single breakdown, in spite of this terrific speed, no broken axles, steering knuckles, frames nor striped gears, which disabled most of the cars. Doesn't this show conclusively that when you pay a big price for a car you are not always getting something for your money, no better material—perhaps not so good—as the result of this race seems to show. Think this over SERIOUSLY, then telephone or drop a card to us and we will show you the greatest car on earth. BEEBE-WEISEL CO. AGENTS Phones {Sunset Main 1171 Home 1291 Anaheim, Cal.
