Washington, D. C., March 17 ? |Q
qulries hare been made of the Cen
aua Bureau whether farm products
should be valued bj farmers. Id re
plying to census enumerators, at the
general wholesale prices or at the
actual price* obtained by the pro
ducer. It was pointed out by the In
quirers that many farmers sell a
proportion of their eggs for breeding,
at much higher than the regular
price. Other* sell part or all of their
milk, butter and cream, at retail.
Quite a number sell pure-bred lire
stock of rariona kinds at more or
less fancy prices. The bureau's cor-1
respondents are of the opinion that If
sales are quoted In this wsy lu the
census, reports, the results might be
somewhat* uncertain as ?a basis for
the sjA*rag& market ffrl<*e.
Responding to these Inquiries,
Census 'Director Durand states that
in forming its Inquiries and instruc
tions With reference to the ralue of
domestic animals and fowls, the
Census Bureau must- necessarily fol
low the lines laid down in the law
governing its action. That law re
quires the bureau to ascertain the
number and value of animals and
fowls. It Is the amount at which the
animals and fowls can be sold. Good
pure-blooded animals will sell for
more, and thus have a- greater value,
than the poor animals. Where there
are many pure-blooded, the arerage
will be higher than where the op
posite condition of affairs prevails,
but, as a matter of fact, the pure
blooded animals are so thoroughly
distributed that they left no appreci
able influence upon the average pub
lished by tbq Twelfth Census, except
in the case of the young colts of the
State of New Jersey.
appreciable influence on the
average oxlce or value of eggs, milk,
or butter la observed in consequence
of the practice mentioned by the l?r
qulrers. The high-priced eggs, milk,
butter, etc.. are found about 4s much
in one part of the country as In an
other. The average which the census
will publlstv is not that of a particu
lar claas of eggs, bufc~ef all eggs pro
duced. It is the same ror all animals,
fowls and animal products. The rel
ative number and value of the ani
mals and products to which specific
attention has been called does not
etert, for the country as a whole or
for many of the States, an influence
| sufficient to make the average pub
lished by the census materially dif
ferent from the average msrket
prices.

OP
P In Forepart or the Heaaon WU1 Check Uie
Weevils? Several Man An Advanced bj Department of Agriculture.
The MMon of 1909, whils on? of
the wont wo have ever known for
the cotton crop In nil hut (ho Atlan
tic State*, taught some valuable loa
ms:
"rtt It demonatrgtsd that a crop
of cotton. under heavy boll weevil
Infestation, could be SMtfa after July
1, provided the farmers'plck up the
punctured aquaroe and work the teld
Intensively. In fact, there were very
few holla on the cotton plants In
Louisiana and southwest Mississippi
$m July l, 1*09. The leather then
became dry and warm, and auch aa
followed the Instructions of the gov
ernment demonstration Work made a
fair crop of cotton, both on the allu
vial bottoms and on the hill lands,
and the planters who' failed to follow
auch instructions made very little.
Louisiana has always had years of a
short cotton crop, duo to adverse
weather conditions. The crop of
1905, though practically unaffected
by the weevil, was only 511.738
bales, which la leaa than half the
product of 1904. Owing to loaa or
labor and fear of the bott weevil,
at^out thirty per cent leaa than nor
mal acreage was planted to cotton In
1909 and when practically no cotton
waa made up to July 1, aucb was the
alarm that a large area of cotton waa
plowed up and planted to other
cfops. The amount plowed up or
abandoned la estimated by good
judges at fo^ty per cent. But allow
that it. waa twenty per cent, deduct
ing from the probable crop in such
a season, to-wlt. 511.738 bales, the
thirty per cent not pUtated and
twenty per cent plow.sd op or aban
doned, and tbe crop of Louiaiana,
without allowing anything for weevil
damage, ahould have been about
?286,574 bales. As far can be as
certained the crop nai, I Tl
000 bales. This clearly proves thst
tbe fright Is more damaging than the
weevil. . *%
The second Item empbaalsed by
tbe experience of 1909 is the impor
tance of picking up and burning the
frtnctured squares. There never had
been any question but picking up the
squares in the fore part of the sea
son would check the weevils, but It
was proven in 1909 that it was effec
tive after the Held was fully Infested
If rapid cultivation was continued.
The third item of value demon
strated by the season of 1909 la the
Importance of having the land well
drained so the crop can be worked as
soon as the rain ceases. Under boll
weevil conditions the heavy black
land and the poorly drained fields
should be devoted to other crops, be
cause intensive working of ttw crop
is a necessity. There must be no
weeds and no grass in the crop.
Fourth. The past season has aid- 1
ed Its conclusive testimony in favor
of the plan for making cotton under ,
boll weevil Infestation which plan,!
approved by the United* States De
partment of Agriculture, is as fol
lows: ^
1. The destruction of the weevils
in the fall by burning all rubbish and
material In and about the field which
might serve for hibernating quarters
iof the weevils, and breaking (plow
' ' ? . L . .5 ' ? ..
Ins) the soil as deep as condition^
will allow.
t. The shallow winter cultivation!
of the soli If no cover crop Is used.
J. Delaying the planting till the
soil and temperature .are warm (
enough to make It safe. j
4* The planting of early-maturing
varieties of cotton.
6. The use of fertilisers. |
|. 6. Leaving more space between!
the rows, and on ordinary uplands
having a greater distance between
plants in the row than Is usually al
lowed.
7. The use of the action harrow
before *nd after planting and on the,
young cotton. , I
" *8. Intensive shallow cultivation. |
9. Agitation of the stalks by means
of brush attached to the cultivator. ^
10. Picking up and burning thei
squares that fall under weevil con
ditions. especially; during the first |
thirty or forty days of Infestation. I
11. Controlling the growth of the
plant If excessive by deep and close
cultivation while the plant Is young.
12. Selecting the. seed.
13. The rotation of crops and t^e
use of legumes.
It will be noted that the system,!
?s outlined, has a two-fold object:
i(ll To reduce the number o ( weevils
and (5) to aid oarly maturity. The
foregoing method* may require mod
Ideation to iult the aoll and climate.
Where there is too much food and a
surplus of moisture available for cot
ton In any soil, common sense dic
tates that these condltlona should not
be Increased by deep fall breakings.
We therefore advise the following
plan under boll weevil conditions on
such lands: ;
Burn all the cotton stalks, and
after ibe weevils have gone Into win
der quarters burn all the rubbish In

ly for lands where, under weevil con
ditions. there Is an excess of plant

Fifth. The lands must be well
drained and no larger area planted

forage must be raised at home and

Khartoum, March 1C. ? Theodore
^Roosevelt today Homily and -definitely
?wept away all hope that he would
accede to the request of Western
commercial Interests and return to
America via San Francisco, making;
a triumphal trip across the conti
nent. ?.
F. G. Fonflls, the Denver newspa
per owner who came here with an
invitation signed by all the farther
Western chambers of commerce, af
ter this second declaration by the
former president, today admitted
that his 10,000 mile race against
time to meet Mr. Roosevelt here had
been futile so far as the "back door"'
return plan was concerned, but Bald
that In every other way the experi
ence had been a most pleasureable
one.
The principal reason given by Mr.
Roosevelt' foi declining the invita
tion Is that he must return to the
United States by way of New York
to be In time to attend the wedding
of Theodore Roosevelt, Jr., to Miss
Eleanor B. Alexander.
The real reason, however. It is de
clared ? although Mr. Roosevelt re
mained silent nn all matters political
? Is that he does not wish to dim
the glory of President Taft. and such
a journey across the American con
tinent as has been planned by the
westerners would surely be nothing
less than a monster political demon
stration, In spite of Mr. Roosevelt's
efforts to maintain his status as a
private character
Mr. Roosevelt has made one con
cession, however. In that he has
promised to visit Denver and Chey
enne next August when Frontier Day
celebrations are to be held In those
cities.
"The attendance of Mr. Roosevelt
assures great success for these
events," said Mr. Fonflls today.

"We are on the verge of a national

comes the loyal sons of Old Ireland
are always found "wearln* o' the
green."
"The lllllcs may droop and their
leaves decay.
The rose from its stem may never;
The shamrock and thistle may fade
?way,
But the stars will shine forever."
