Agricultural Census To Be Taken Jan. 1 I'nde Sam has decided to take tho foulle»nth i-i'iiaui on farms Jan. 1 1» '0. Insteml of collecting thla data of April 15. ,HS was done In 1910. The cicie was changed because farmers or dinarily are very buay with tha rush of spring work about flte middle of April, also because the April lfi date ci iiies during the midit of tha breeding season when the number of young stock is not comparable between north ern und southern regions, and finally because the returns on the crops ob tained during the wl.tter are mora ac curate thun those obtained later and comparable with the December esti mates of the buretu of crop estimates. The V'nited Stat«s department of ag riculture la assisting ilm Cenaus Bu reau In making this coming agricul tural census as accurate and valuable as poaslble. -To a limited degree the character of the information to be ae cured will differ from previous enu merations, becauae of Treating Grain For Diseases. The question of the use of formalde hyde comes up every spring just be fore seeding time. The formaldehyde treatment for different grains may be effective for different fungus diseases but for different grains must dif ferently applied. In the cis^ of a1! of the grains not all of the dlsea/ic.* are controlled by It. There is no o.epara ratlon made which does cor.'.rol them all. nor has there been any smut j.repi ratlon of any kind put upon the mar ket which is more effective or ch »aper than formaldehyde. In fact, the analy sis of most of these common anti smut compounds sold on the market a* Rood prir-en have for their effective and important agent formaldehyde in a limited quantity. The principal claim for them Is that they can be applied to the grain in such a way that it will not be necessary to soak it but this can be done Just as effectively with formaldehyde alone as with theae com pounds. The different treatment for the d'f ferent cereals are as follows: For he covered or stinking imut wheat or the covered smut cf barley use one pint of formaldehyde tf tliirt..' gallons of wrater. Soak ten minutes in wooden tub. stir thoroughly, skim off right kernels and smut bal's. Drain off solution into another tub. covcr grain pile with treated «acks or can vas for two hours, then spread out to dry. The solution remains ?ood until used up. For oat smut, use a solution of one pint to five gallons of water. This will treat about forty bushels. It should b« evenly applied and the ?raln should then be covered over for two hours. It will he dry enough to u0 immediately after that time. Barley loose smut and barley stripe, soak two hours in a solution of for maldehyde. one pint to forty gallons of water. Early Oats Increases Profits |45.000. Iowa 103 oats have made good in Black Hawk county. Fanners are preparing to plant almost the entire oat acreage of the county with this and other early varieties. With a yield of seven bushels more to the acre than late oats, additional yields from "he 13,000 acres of Iowa reau has accomplished no other work than to help increase the plantings of I Iowa 103 oats, it would have more than) paid it* way. When it first or*ani«eri I in Black Ilavvk. county, 1,000 bushels of Iowa 10:i oats were bought for seed. Since that time there has been a yearly Increase in the acreage of this varie ty. Reports to Bhow just how much this early variety led the late oats ln yield have not been available until this year At the request of the food ad- more ministration, niiww-two thresher-en drain. ministration, ..... in the county made complete reports of 162 farms, showing that tho early oats such as Iowa 103, Iowa 105, and Kher son are by far the best yielding vari eties in this community. Farmers in Black Hawk county are convinced by these yields that it will not pay to sow late oats except to help distribute work or on some of the sandy soils where the shorter varieties may not grow tall enough to t»e cut with the binder. For depleted soils the farm bureau is recommending a new, longer strawed varlty of early oats which the experiment station at Ames has ready for distribution. Form Calf Clubs to Boost Farmlnn.

Far ley, representing the I'nited States de portment of agriculture: H. C. Taylor of the University of Wisconsin, recent ly appointed chief of the office of farm management o? the department of agriculture: and G. Y. Warren, of Cornell, in conference with officials of the census bureau. The questions include information on the acreage and production of the crops, amount sold or to be sold, live stock classification both by sex and nge. acreage of woodland, and the arcount of land on farms drained and needing drainage. Special considera tion will also be given to matters of land tenure, farm mortgages, land util ization. the amount of land and acre age of crops Irrigated, numbers of young live stock sold, purchased, slaughtered, and died on the farms, and quantity of dairy products and wool produced. Owing to the funda mental Importance of these statistics, which provides basic information rel ative to farms and farming in the I'nited States, it Is hoped that farm ers throughout the country will assist the census enumerators In every way possible in securing accurate, reliable and complete Information. ln 'I lews Butter Favored Among Sailers.

Nevertheless, is she had thus already served me, I now owed her service In return, and here waa tha first call. If conditions luade It pos sible It waa my plain duty to place myself between these two. In the Intenalty of my feelings I must have unconsciously spoken aloud, for a shaggy bead suddenly popped out from the berth beneath where I lay, and Haley's Interested •olee asked solicitously: -Hy. thar: whut's up, matel Ta waa mutterin' 'way thar an' not dls turbtn' me none, till ye got ter talkln' "bout gum feller called Sanchez. Then sortet got a bit Interested. I know'd thet cnaa onct," and he spat, aa though to thus better express his feelings. "The d——d ornary pirate."

"Both, fer the matter o' thet. He give me the choice ter serve er walk the plank. 1 wua eighteen, an' hea an o' mother at Deal." "I see but later got away?' "ajr, 1 did thet," chuckling over the recollection. "Bat I hed ter wait eight months fer the luck." My neigh bor went on to tell at grcajt^ length the story of his escape. ,v "1 had a shipmate once," 1 observed," Interested in his story, "who claiqied to have seen the fellow he described him aa being a very large man, with Intensely black, hawklike, eyes and a heavy black beard almost hiding his face." "Maybe he looked like that when to saw him, but he ain't no bigger man than I am he won:t weigh as uiucli by fifteen pound. Fact is he mighty seldom looks the same, fer thet's part o' his game. Pve seen him IB all sorts o' disguises. It's only his eyes he can't hide, an' thar'g been tlmes when I thought they wus the ugliest eyes ever I saw. 'He's sure an ornary devil, an' when he gits mad, I'd rather be afront of a tiger. Besides Dgbtln's his trade, an' no weaklln" ain't goln* ter control the sort chapB he's got ter handle.
