rmci; two cents. AsburyPark Even mm --H'--t-wN THE THSBTEENTH GENERAL CENSUS WHAT FARMERS SHOULD KNOW i sttij, r.zl:Jt lj' as to population relates to April 13, 1910; tbat as to agriculture concerns the farm operations duilug 1909 oud rails for an Inventory of farm equipment April 15. 1910; that relative to manufactures uud mines and quarries Is for 1900. An Army to Get the Facts, The enumerators will carry only the populatlou aud agriculture schedules April 15, 1910. Special agents will be scut out with the schedules for tho muuufactntvs, mines oud quarries data.

There will be fully enumerators, of whom obotit 45,000 will carry both the population and agriculture schedules, as It Is estimated that there are now fully 7,000,000 separate farms lu America, with farmers numbering well up Into score of millions, lu 1900 there were many more billions of dollars of fixed capital Invested In agriculture than there were in manufactures, strange as it may seem. And the farmer Is getting better off all tho time; his mortgage indebtedness Is decreasing fast, his taxation Is small as compared with tho urbanite's burden, and be has taken to automobile riding on a large scale. This is the heyday of tho furmer, and old Dr. U. S.

Census is going to diagnose him pretty carefully for fear that wllb ease comes evil tbat is, the neglect of those, essentials which their worth can be made. The valua assigned this class of property In tbo Inventory should be the estimated amount It would bring at public nuc-tlou under favorable conditions. No special blunks or forms are necessary for preparing an Inventory. Aa ordinary notebook answers all purposes, but It should be large enough to admit of carrying the tlgures for at least flvo years In parallel columns. This facilitates comparison of the fig' ures for different years.

Some may, find It more convenient' or desirable to take stock on Jau. 1 than on April IB. It will be a simple matter to bring such an inventory up to when the. census enumerator cnlls. As in tho case of the farm Inventory, no special blanks nre required for the record of farm products of 1000.

Aa ordinary notebook with leaves at least six inches wide will be found convenient. The following information will be called for: First. Farm expenses In 1D09: (a) Amount spent In cash for farm labor, exclusive of housework. (b) Estimated value of house rent and board furnished farm laborers In addition to canh wags paid. (c) Amount spent for tidy, grain and other produre (not raised on the farm) for feed of domeatlo animals and poultry.

(d) Amount spent for manure and other fiVtllUcra. Not Too Curious. No Inquiry Is made regarding household or personal expenses or expenditures for repairs or improvements. Koch of the four questions asked Is of fundamental Importance In Its bearing ou agriculture as an Industry. Becond.

(b) Number of animals of each kind purchased lit lflon and the amount paid, number sold and nmount received and number and value of those slaughtered on tho farm. Third. Dairy prodorts: (a) Quantities ond value of milk, butter and cheese produced on the farm In 1909. (b) Quantities of milk, butter, eroam, butter it and cbeeso sold In 1909 and amounts received.

Fourth. Foultry nnd ejrgs: (u) Value of poultry of till kinds raised In IT'S, whether sold, consumed or on band. (b) Amount received from poultry old In 1909.

Nevertheless a constantly-Increasing number of farmers ore keeping accurate records of their daily receipts and expenses nnd of (tm exact quantities of all classes of products grown or ruined. In order thnt the great majority of farmers who do not ordinarily keep book records of their farm operations may bo given an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the scope of the census to be taken this year an outline of tho schedule Is here presented. Kvery farm operator Is strongly urged to study this outllno carefully and to wrlto down the answer to each question as soon as tho necessary information becomes available.

The valuo given to tho farm should be 03 nearly as cnu be judged tho amount that could be obtained for It if offered for snle under normal conditions.

Currjnt market prices should be carefully considered in estimating tho value of live stock. Although the consus merely requires I fltatcment of total value of all implements and machinery, it is believed that classification of those items under the following four heads will be found valuable; eotnprbslnff automobiles, vttgons, carriages nnd slsltfhs and equipment wad In concoction with them, as hnrnessas, blankata, whirs, etc. Bu'ond.

Walker, who was a census authority greater than any other, living or dead, once 'wrote that "the people of the United States can well afford to pay for the very best census they can get" He penned this In connection with a frank confession of his own shortsightedness lu underestimates the cost of the tenth census. It's tho old story-when you ore 111 get the best doctor you can afford. Tho comparative cheapness with which the thirteenth census will be taken will be largely dne to Director Dana Durand's economical methods, to the introduction of semiautomatic electrical card punching, tabulating and sortiug machines and to the Inheritance of wisdom from the experience gained by the permanent census bureau. Modern Methods For Accuracy. Mr.

Durand Is responsible for many of the new methods to Increase statis tical accuracy at every step of'the jeensus taking and to decrease the per 'capita cost of the enumeration. The card puuehing, tabulating and sorting (machinery Is the invention of a census Irnechaulcal expert, and the patent Sights belong to Uncle Sam. The ma-jchiues are novel In plan and design, 'dro of greater speed and efficiency ilhan those they superseded and can built and operated at a large earing of raouey as compared with previous expenditures for this purpose. Other money sovlng features are the elimination of the Tital statistics Inquiry from the work of the decennial census, as It belongs to the permanent ibranch of the United States census; '(the reduction In the number of schedules, the piece price method of paying tor machine work, the omission of the ihand. household and neighborhood Industries from the manufactures branch iof the census and the reduction of the W.e and number of copies of the final 'reports.

He Is not a spy, a policeman or a tax assessor. Ho is not an ngent of tho city, county or stute. Uo Is working for tho bureau of tho UcIIimI States census. He tells no oije but the census bureau what Is told him, and the United States law will not let tho census bureau tell any other persons or officials or other government departments or any foreign ambassador, consul or nation. The census lnw with rcferunco to population requires that the enumerator's questions shall for each inhabitant call for "The name, relatlonsnlp to bead of family, color, sex.

age, conjugal condition, place of birth, plnce of birth of parents, number of years iu the United States, citizenship, occupation, whether or not employer or employee, and If employee, whether or not employed nt the date of enumeration (April 13, 1910), aud the number of months unemployed during tho preceding calender year whether or not engaged In agriculture, school attendance, literacy and tenure ct home and whether or not a survivor of the Union or Confederate army or 'invy, and the name and address of each blind or deaf and dumb person." The snmo law with reference to agriculture requires tbat tho enumera tor's questions shall for each Inhabitant call for "Tho name, color and country of birth of occupant of each farm, tenure, acreage of farm, acreage of woodland and character of timber hereon, value of farm nnd improvements, value of farm Implements, number and value of live stock on farms and ranges, number and value of domestic animals not on farms and ranges and the ncreuga of crops planted and to be planted during the year of enumeration and the acreage of crops and tho quantity and valuo of crops aud other farm products for the year ending Dec. 31 next preceding tho enumeration." All questions relating to population and tho Inventory of farm equipment apply to conditions existing only on April 15, the "census day." The census bureau's Instructions to enumerators with reference to the enumeration of the population present some Important nnd interesting distinctions. Persons living on April 15, 1910, but who died after It nnd before enumerators call, are to Le counted, but persons born after April 15 are not to be Included In tho count. Persons who were single on April 15 are to be re ported as single even though they have married subsequently and before the canvasser has called. This Is true similarly of persons who become widowed or divorced after April 15.

Tho ceijsus law provides that all persons Fbal! be enumerated at their "uiiu-al place of abode" on April 15. This means the place where tbey may be said to live or belong or the place which Is their home. As a rule, the usual place of abode Is not the place where a person works or where he eats, but whero be regularly sleeps. The enumerators are cautioned, however, that whero man happens to Bleep at the time of the enumeration may not be the place where be regularly sleeps. As to Absentees.

Census taking every ten years is a tremendous task. It Is the greatest single operation undertaken by Uncle Sam with the exception of the Tana-ma cannl work and the assembling of an army In time of war.

The American census is the largest, costliest and most accurate of any taken TJy the civilized nations. Its methods ore tho most modern and Its equipment the most complete. The census bureau force comprises, first, Director Ii Dana Duraud of Michigan, who, although only thirty-eight years old, is older than most of the generals commanding the forces lu the civil war and who Is, too, a statistically scarred hero, a veteran in government service and likely to prove the most practical ond efficient director connected with any of the past censuses. Then there is the assistant director, William V. W'illoughby of Washington, former secretary of state of Porto Rico.

Next la rank are the five chief statisticians William 0. Hunt. In charge of the population division; Le Grand Powers, bending the agricultural divlsionf William M. Steu-art. overseeing the manufactures division; Dr.

Cressy L. Wilbur, the vital statistics work, and Dr. Joseph Adna Hill, the division of revision and results. Charles 8. Slonne Is the geographer, Alburtns II.

Baldwin is the chief clerk, Voler V. Vlles is chief of the publication division, Hugh M. lirown is private secretary to tho director, Robert M. rindell, Is the appointment clerk, George Johannes is the disbursing officer, and 0. W.

Bplcer is the mechanical expert In addition to these are the chiefs of the divisions under the chief statisticians. There ore nbont 750 permanent clerks, and there will be 3,000 temporary clerks, etc. The supervisors will number 330, and they will employ and direct the 05,000 enumerators. Twenty expert special agents will exercise an advisory function. There will be about 1,600 chief special agents and ossistant special agents.

The supervisors will also probably employ 1,000 clerks. 500 special agents and 4,000 Interpreters. Tabulating the Returns. The preparation of the schedules for the tabulating process will begin as soon as tbey are forwarded by the supervisors. The data on them relating to population will be transferred to nianlla cards by the punching of holes In them to correspond with the different Items in the schedules.

An electrical machine controlled by a clerk can punch boles in 3.000 cards a day. There will be 800 of these, and cards have been After the punching the cords are hand fed Into an electric tabulating machine with a "pin box" attachment. CENSCS TABULATIKO MACHINE, which permits the reqnlred pins to pass through the variously placed holes in the cards, ia this way establishing an electric circuit, resnlting in the tabulation of the Items on counters which register their results in printing on spooled paper somewhat like a ttock tickor. There will be a hundred of these machines. After certain comparisons to prove accuracy the schedules ore permanently preserved in a great iron safe In the census bureau.

As the card does not contain the name of the person for whom It stands, all personal Identity is eliminated from the cards. All danger of misuse of such information disappears. Severe penalties are provided in case any em. ployee discloses census information to outsiders. The sett step is the making of the maps and tables to accompany the analyses and then finally tho Issue of the printed bulletins and reports.

The words "dwelling house" and "family" ore, for census purposes, given a much wider application than thuy have in ordinary speech. A "dwelling" is defined as a pluce in which at tho time of the census one or moro persons regularly sleep.

It need not be a house In the common meaning of the word. A Census Family, A "family," os 11 census term, may mean a group of individuals who occupy Jointly a dwelllug place or part of a dwelling place or an Individual living nlono In nny place of abude. All the occupants and employees of a ho tel, If they regularly Hleep there, make up a single family because they occupy one dwelling plnce, and persons living alone aro regarded ns families. The enumerators are required to enter on tho schedule tho naitio of every person whose usual place of abode on April 15, 1910, was with the family or In the dwelling plnce for which the enumeration Is being made. The head of the family is to be eutered first, then the wife, next the children, whether sons or daughters, In tho order of their ages, nnd, lastly, oil other persous living with tho family, whether relatives, boarders, lodgers or serv- SiltS.
