There will be much discussion of farming for the next few months front many angles one among them being the most useful size of farms. We do not wish to be one sided and shall al ways state fairly the large farm or combination arguments, hut It seems tu uh that farming in thin respect is the exception among business. Econ omy In the cost of supervision Is the only reason for the expansion of the unit in any business, anti land is more productive under the small farm system.

CENSUS REPORTS ARE TO INCLUDE FARM FIGURES Farmers are Asked to Keep Record of Their Belongings and Sales, so Guess-Work May be Eliminated. Washington, I). C., September 4. — It will be suggested by U. S. Census Director to the farmers all over the country that the work of securing accurate returns at the coming cen sus of agriculture will be greatly fa cilitated if the farmers will keep or provide some sort of written record ;>f their farm operations during the year, 1'909. This effort to secure the Ortners' personal cooperation is but one of a number of ways and means chosen by Director Durand in the effort to secure an accurate, expe rt Dlous and ceomi ideal census con cerning population, agriculture, man ufacturing, mines and quarries, which are the subjects of inquiry defined in tile Census Law. Notwithstanding the value of the population returns for the political purpose of reapporl louing represen tation in the Congress of the United Slates and of the statistical infor mation derived from an analysis of the population details, the census of agricultural, of all the subjects in the Census law, is regarded as of the gr< atest importance. The Twelfth Census reported a to tal fixed capital of $5,046,939,516.00 Invested in manufactures. The cor responding total for agriculture was $20,514,001,838.00 or more than four times that of manufacturers. A more conservative estimate, based upon a different standard of comparison, al so used by the Census Bureau, places the investment in agriculture as more than twice that of manufactures. In 1900 tfie Census found 5,739.- . 657 farms, an increaHe of 1.175,0 n; over Hie total of 1800. The 1890 figures were 55,734 higher than the number of farms counted in the 1800 census. Taking the Increase be tween 1890 and 1900 and adding that number to the total reported for 1900, an estimated or approximate number of farms existing at the time of tile Thirteenth Census may be ascertained; the process of calcu lation being that called "arithmeti- I cal progression,” the method chosen by the majority of statisticians and also used by the Census Bureau. Therefore the 1910 total should reach 5,914.673, or roughly, about : 6,000.600 farms, which is the number estimated by Chief Statistician Pow ers. There were 10,433.188 males and females over 10 years of age June 1, 1900, engaged in agricultu ral pursuits. Prof. Powers believes th< 1910 census will swell that num ; her to the extent of several millions. The magnitude of these figures makes it evident that the importance of the agricultural census hardly can be over estimated. Hence the solic itude of Census Director Durand and Chief Statistician Powers, in charge of the Census Division of Agrieul j tore. Director Durand believes that great good will bo accomplished by get ting into direct contact wid coopera tion with the farmers. Some of the in-trumentalities which will be used by him and which promise practi cal results are. the State Commission ers and State Boards of Agriculture, the State Agricultural Colleges, the Agricultural Experiment Stations, and Farmers’ t'nions. Added to these will be the daily newspapers, the country press, and the farmers’ publi cations. It is estimated that millions of farmers will be reached at their homes or at their mutual improve ment meetings by the contemplated method of circulating preparatory in formation. Farm economists and scientists learned in agricultural problems, ap pointed as expert special agents for a brief term, are now in Washing ton assisting Director Durand-and his staff in the information of the agri cultural schedule so that the ques tions to be asked by the enumera tors shall be easily comprehended and so draw out the Information or dered by Congress to be ascertain ed. At the same time these practical steps are being taken by the Census Bureau, the farmers themselves will be called upon to help push the sta tistical plow over the country wide field of farm data. They will be re minded that an accurate and practi cal census is the only one worth while. In addition to the direct appeal to the tarmres. Census Director Du rand will inform them that the Thir teenth I'uited States Census law re quires that the agricultural census to be taken at the same time, April 15, 1910 os the count of popualtion. Tlte question about farm operations will relate to the present calendar y< ar. 1909. but on the other hand, the inquiries regarding farm equip ment are directed toward the farm ers’ possessions of this kind on the day and date' of the enumeration. April 15. 1910. The latter division of the inquiry really tuMwnts to aq inventory. THE SUMMERVILLE NEWS, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 9, 1909. The necessity for some written or pt rmanent record by the farmers themselves of farm operations is ob vious and its value in furnishing data more reliable than guesswork In order that the farmers may be gin at once. Director Durand indi cates as follows, what operations are to be recorded, although the sched ule is still in incomplete shape. “‘Each person in charge of a farm will be asked to state the acreage and value of his farm; that is, the acreage and value of the land kept and cultivated by him; also the area of land in his farm covered with woodland; and finally, that which is utilized for specified farm pur poses. “Each farmer will be asked to give the acreage, quantity produced and value of each crop, including grains, hay, vegetables, fruits, cotton, tobac co, etc,, raised in the farm in the season of 1909. “Each farmer will be asked to report the number and value of all domestic. animals, poultry, and swarms of bees on the farm April 15, 1910; also the number and val ue of young animals, such as calves, colts, lambs, pigs; and of young fowls, such as chickens, turkeys ducks, etc., raised on the farm in 1909, He will be further asked to state the number and kind of ani mals sold during 1909 and the re ceipts from each sale, the number purchased and tile amount paid there for; and also the number slaughtered for food and the value of such ani mals. “’The law requires a report of the number of cows kept for dairy pur poses in 1909, and the total estimat ed amount of milk produced on the farm; also the amount of butter and cheese sold and the amount receiv ' od from such sale. “In addition to the inquiry regard ing animals, etc., on the farm April 15, 1910, as explained previously, the Census will seek to ascertain the quantity and value of all eggs, hon ey, and wax produced on the farm lin 1909. "Os the expenditures of the farm, ; the Census schedule will call for a i statement of the amount paid farm labor; the amount paid for feed; for ; live stock; and the amount expended ■ f< r fertilizers in 1909. ‘ "If the farm changes owners or j tenants between the crop year, 1905 and the date of enumeration, April 15, 1910, it is requested that the occupant of the farm in 1910 shall ! secure the above information relat ing to the farm for the proceeding year, 1909. The owner or tenant ■ this year should leave his book re i cord with his successor.’’ The Census act provides that the information shall be used only for the statistical purposes for which it :is supplied. “No publication shall be made by the Census Office where by the data furnished by any partic-' t lar establishment can be identified, i or shall the Director of the Census permit anyone other than the sworn employes of the Census Office to examine the individual reports.” Furthermore, the information re ported on the agricultural schedule will not be used as a basis of tax ation or communicated to any assess or. The act also states the fines or firms of imprisonment or both in cases of violation of the secrecy im posed upon supervisors, enumera tors, special agents, or other em ployees. It provides a penalty for I also answers or for refusal to an swer. Director Durand wants the farm ers to keep books this year so that guesswork and recollections will be ili initiated as far as possible from the Thirteenth Census and the farm < r s’ organizations are coining to the front with cheering offers of co-op eration toward producing a practical useful and believable census of America's farm population, opera tions and wealth.

(Copyright, 1909,, by Associated Literary press.! “You must be very nice to her, Ted,” said Mrs. Wainwright thoughtfully. “Indeed, you must monopolize her while she’s here.” Ted Barrington blew out a cloud of smoke and smiled lazily. “Must 1, now. Annette?” he said. “Whyfore and wherefore?” “She's dangerous," said Mrs. Wain wright, with the air of one imparting select and exclusive confidences. “She’s a disturbing element. 1 rely on you to keep the peace of the house while she’s here. Fact is, Teddy, dear, she’s a most incorrigible and heartless flirt. The last time she was here she left in her train a cohort of heartsick swains that was positively appalling. It’s perfectly dreadful to have a jolly little house party’ disrupted as that one was.” Barrington squinted his eye thought fully as he looked away to the great blue bulk of the hills rising in the dis tance against a perfect sky. “And so, Annette, I am to be the sac rifice. as it were, am I?” he chuckled ?ood naturedly. “Won’t somebody else do? I’m lazy. I’m having the time of my life here just being lazy.” “I have come to you.” said she with deep conviction, “because you are one of the few men I know whom I believe can remain heart whole under all cir cumstances. Oh, don’t look so conceit ed about it. The ghastly truth of the matter is that you are much too in dolent and self satisfied to fall in love. Therefore 1 make this appeal.” “Oh, if you put it that way now,” said he in mock protest. "I do,” said she. “You must, as I say. monopolize her while she’s here. Make her think she has made a con quest. Take her sailing and motoring and riding, understand? Make her think your case is very, very des perate.” "Oh. you women—you scheming, far sighted women!” he complained. “Set your fluttering heart at rest, Annette. For old sake's sake I'll do my best. When is she coming?” "This afternoon. Hubbard has gone down in the trap to meet her.” A rumble of wheels sounded in the roadway. A trap drawn by a smart cob turned into the drive. Mrs. Wain wright nodded meaningly toward it and withdrew, and Barrington, turn ing bis lazy eyes toward the drive, saw in the approaching trap a vision of wavy hair and pink cheeks and flowing veil that was not at all unat tractive. “Well, well," said the unimpression able Barrington, “it’s not such an aw ful thing to be the appointed sacrifice, after all.” An hour later Mrs. Wainwright was presenting him to the girl, and some thing in the older woman's eyes warn ed Barrington that his duties were to begin at once. There.'-."a he stepped nobly into the breach. “Ob, I say, Miss Gray,” said he, “are you fond of motoring? You are? Good! Wainwright has a little peach of a car in the garage. Suppose I get it out and show you how it can take the hills round here.” “Oh. jolly!” she declared. They motored until dinner time, and at the after dinner bridge Miss Gray was Barrington's partner. And the following days he followed out Mrs. Wainwright's injunctions to the letter. "Ted. you are perfectly splendid," she declared one evening as he sat smoking on the veranda. "Always glad to oblige, Annette,” he drawled. "You do it so well I almost think sometimes you're not at all averse to the role I've assigned you,” she said musingly. “I'm much too indolent to fall in love. I’m safe,” he said in the same queer voice. Mrs. Wainwright leaned anxiously , toward him. "Ted. do be careful,” she warned him. "I didn't think for a minute"— “You are quite on the wrong tack, Annette,” he said composedly. “Your suspicions are utterly without founda tion. Where on earth did you ever get such childish ideas?" Yet Mrs. Wainwright, once in her own room, sat looking out thoughtful ly. And at last, more perturbed than she cared to admit, she tapped on her husband's door. "Tom.” she confessed uneasily as her big husband, swathed in a gor geous bath wrap, opened the door, “I believe I've made a mess of things.” "Well,” he said cheerfully, "you're not without precedent in the matter. Annette. How have you done it? Un burden yourself.” "It's Ted and Francesca Gray. I— I” “You mean you're afraid he's lost his head?” Tom Wainwright asked. “Non sense —nothing of the kind; not a symptom of it. Go to sleep, Annette. He'll take care of himself.” Mrs. Wainwright felt decidedly heartened, but when, two days later, she found Ted Barrington all alone by the old sundial in the gardens behind the house, his hands clinched and his face hard, a quick fear and an equal ly swift contrition gripped her heart. He bad not heard her noiseless ap proach. She hurried to his side At SEARS & ROEBUCK -of Chicago iJell Goods and Guarantee satisfaction THE EDISON LAND CO. ...0F...

Menlo, Georgia. the somfd of her steps he looked up and grinned rather sheepishly. “Ted,” she cried, "I know it now. There is no use denying it.” ‘"Why this commiseration spilled for unworthy me?” he said, with an at tempt at nonchalance. “I saw your face just now.” “Oh, did you?" “You'd better confess,” said she. “It’s my fault, anyway. Maybe I can help you.” “You’re quite right, Annette,” he said quietly—so quietly that it cut her to the quick. "The impossible has come to pass. My case is desperate.” “Has she refused, then, and laughed at you?” she asked anxiously. “She lias not,” said he, "and please heaven she'll never get the chance. I think I know how to make a graceful exit from a mighty trying situation. I’ve said no word of it to her, nor shall I. I couldn’t quite stand having her refuse me. I really couldn’t, An nette. She's going away this after noon. I think I can hold my tongue in leash.” Mrs. Wainwright arose without a word and left him. later she was back again. He was still sitting there by the sundial. “You’re a brute," she announced flat ly and uncompromisingly. Barrington stared at her. “Haven’t you any eyes in your head?" she demanded almost angrily. Barrington frowned. “My dear An nette,” said he, very much puzzled, “this is not at all like you.” Long and searchingly and also dis approvingly Mrs. Wainwright looked nt him. “Well,” she said at last, “1 have just seen Francesca, and if you are worth the tears she’s wasting on you I'm very much mistaken. She may have been heartless before, but if you had an.v eyes, as I said before"— “Huh!" Barrington interrupted her. “Say. where is she—where is she. An nette? Down by the river, you say?" A brown streak that might have been Ted Barrington went tearing across the lawn in the direction of the river. Mrs. Wainwright sat watching him with shining eyes.
