The federal department is plan ning for a nation-wide census of agriculture, the value of which Dr. H. C. Taylor, chief of the bu reau of agricultural economics of tho federal department, emphasiz es a* an aid in developing na tional agricultural policies. "In working out the details of a properly balanced system of na tional agriculture under conditions, the basic agricultural statistics collected in 1920 arc inadequate," Dr. Taylor says. “At that time American agriculture was still in a period of readjustment from war conditions, and the statistics reflect the transitory effects of the war rather than to provide data from which national agricul tural pqIIcMl m»y be developed." "The various branenes of Am erican agriculture are now grad ually working toward a more nor mal basis, and by 1925 will yield figures that may bo safely used in planning the future heaithy growth of the. industry as a whole,” he states. “The plan to make agricultural enumerations in other than population census, years is also merited in that thej results can be made available nearer the date that the agricultu- Thornton’s FRIDAY Dinner 50c Vegetable Soup Fried Spanish Mackerel With Tartar Saucu Turnip Greens Creamed Potatoes Pickled Beets Muffins snd Biscuits Cherry Pie Coffee, Tea or Milk FRIDAY Supper 50c Fried Rabbit or Balt Mackerel Pork and Beans Potato Croquettes Stewed Prunes Hot Biscuits Cocosnut Pudding Coffee, Tea or Milk ral census is taken.'
