Large Tract Without Yield Outside Classification as Agricultural, Bureau Says. A farm, according to tho con-niis burt'fii, is nil th luml furimwl by orift pfiHon, whether It is tlireo acres or threo tlioustmds nmH. Hounds HimplH, ilowHii't it ? Hut it wasn't no slniplf! for thti Kovern ment ufficlnlH to decide whitt the enumerators hIiuII enumerate as a farm when they take the census in April. The area or farm land owned by one per nn has nothing to do with tho definition of a farm so far bh the census bureau Is concerned. The question Is, nnt how much land does he own, but how much does he operate or turm. A man who owns 300 acres might fnnn half of it him self and rent the other half out to three lenants, 50 acres to each, This would go down on the cciihus records as four farms, because the land farmed by each man Is con sidered as a unit. On tho other hand, one man mltfht rent various tracts of land from 10 different owners, lie might rent a few ncres on shares, a few more from somebody else for money rent, and the rest from other people on different terms. The different pieces of land might bo widely separated, If they were all farmed and managed by one man, they would all be put down together as one farm. If, however, n aeparalo manager were hired to supervise a certain pnrt of the laud, that part, wouid go down as a sep arate farm. Aualn, one man mnv operate 100 ncres of fnrm land which he owns nnd be may also rent from a neigh bor nnd operate an additional tract of 20 acres. In that case lie will he reported In the census ns oper ating one farm of 120 acres, hut. the report will show that ho owns 100 acres or tho farm nnd rents the ad ditional 20 acres. This 20 ncres of land should not be reported ns n fnrm by the neighbor from whom It la rented. MinlmumB Fixed. No tract of land of less than three acres will be registered as a farm unless It produced last, year, at least $I!50 worth of Turin pro ducts, either consumed on the farm or sold. In the census of IHUil. If a piece of hind of less than three acres was farmed by a man who gave his entire time to tho task, It was listed as a farm regardless of how little it produced, but this year none of these small tracts will he counted unless they produced $250 worth or products, regardless of bow many people spent their full time cultivating the area. The cen sus bureau estimates that approxi mately r,noo tractH of less than three ncres In the United Stales are farmed by individuals who give their full time to the occupation. This change in the classification of farms Is tho only difference be tween I ho census bureaus regula tions for farm enumeration In 1!KI0 from those of ten years iiko. There is necessarily a border laud between what is n farm and What Is not, says the census bu reau. A small place on the edge of a town or village is often the home of a city worker who under takes io keep a cow, some chick ens, and probably rut a little hay or raise a large garden or small crop. If the agricultural products from such n place amounted to $2fi0 or more in 1!)2!, it shall he counted as a farm, regardless of how much or how little lime the city worker gave to bis fanning pursuits, and regardless of how hi. mil the tract of land tended. Area Must Produce. On tlx1 oilier hand, a large coun try place of 10, lfi or 20 acres mnv not necessarily qualify as a fnnn. Actual farming or agricultural op erations must he carried out before nnv tract of land will be dunned in this category. A large country estaln of a retired capitalist Is not a farm If the only work done around the place consists In mow- Look over his wardrobe nnd have his hut, tics, overcoat, nnd suit mdc clean nnd ready for immediate use. LYMON L. SPENCER, Proprietor Phone 277 342 N. Jackson St., Our Auto Will Call !T ing the lawns anil trimming the hedges. If the fsiate is of more than three ncres, however, a very small amount of agricultural pro duels ton !il give ft the rank of a farm, regunllens ol whether the products amounted to ?2'o or nut. In such a case as this, it would be up to the judgment of the census enumerator to decide whether ag ricultural operations were being carried on. Farm land is consider ed "operated" not only when culti vated crops are raised on It, but also when it is used to any signifi cant extent for pasture or for pro- (taction of hay. Old Definition Holds. A 'number of agricultural pursuits nor, usually considered by the aver at;e person as farming come with in the census bureau's dnf inition All market and truck ard'ns, fruit orchfi rds, nurseries, greenhouses, poult vy yards, places for keeping bees, and all (la fries in or near cities, even though Utile land in employed, are. for census purposes, farms, provided they produced in l!2!t 2TiH worth of agricultural pro ducts. If such places contain more (hue three acres they are farms re gardless of the value of their pro duce. In 1fi2Fl, the last year In which n farm census was taken In the Unit ed .Stales, (here were lSJ'il farms of less than three acres. The total number of farms In t)" nation at I hat time was fi.S71.filu. The general definition, of n farm "All the land which is directly farmed by one person, either by his own labor atone or with the assist ance of members of his household or hired employees" has remained practically the nnmo since 1H70, the first year in which it was used by increasing number of factory work ers and business nnd professional Ihe census bureau. However, the men -who live on little places along country roads and keep cows or chickens and have vegetable gar dens, is making this matler r definition nf a farm more impor tant ns well ns more difficult. It Is more necessary, therefore, than ever before that these "amphibian" farmers, as they have been called, should have the facts readv for the census enumerator Io uso In decid ing whether the place is a farm when he calls in April.

In the la.-U ten years the fruit peals have been rapid ty gaining In numbers, which makes the prob lem of control one of the must serious to the fruit industry to day. It was only a few years ago that orchard isls first began Ut une a spray to fight these pests. They applied tjifrf spray with small hand pumps ami got along in pretl y good chape. Then the sleam sprayer was Invented using a Mftialt sleam boiler and a small sleiun engine to drive the pump. This made a very heavy outfit to move about the orchard, so a small gasoline engine was suhstl tuted for ihe steam engine to drive ihe pump. Much develop ment then took place In the de sign of the pressure pumps. The first outfits were operated between 75 and K.O pounds pressure, with a capacity of about three gallons per minute. As the pes is increas ed, spray pump manufacturers gradually Increased the capacity and pressure until today we find outfits that will deliver fit; gallons per minute at fi"0 pounds pres sure operated with 25 h. p. mo tors. These nre outfits of the very latest, type, however, and aro not generally used, especially In the prune sections. Competition Is getting Iteener nnd keener In the raising of fruit and this makes it necessary to raise cleaner and better fruit or the fruit grower must fall-out of the race. This requires one to spray more carefully than ever be fore. Since this Is one of the most Important operations In the raising of fruit It will pay the grower to give more attention to the sprayer he Is using. If the ma chine now in n "io was designed for operation at 150 pounds pressure and the grower is trying to get 300 pounds out of the same rig. let us stop ami consider what Is taking elace. The motor tlmt was originally out en the machine bv the manufacturer v.as no doubt large enoiicli to deliver the pres sure capnefty at which the ma chine was sold. Hut after years of use this motor has lost some of Its power nnd 'Mill we are nsk intr morn of It than when It was orinal'v sold because we are asking for double the pressure now and of course tbli remiiros more power. If the outfit will not deliver the desired pressure and you do not feel that you want to put Ihe nionev required In a new outfit, then the best thing Io do Is to consider pulling a larger en gine on your present outfit.

Enormous areas of land have been taken from farmers, nnd the farms thrown together. Tractors will be used exclusively, except for a few saddl'horses ridden by farm managers. The grain trust experimented with some 20-odd combines last summer, and will use over 1,000 of these machines in IfCtO. According to .T.

Passage of the Young plan and i'a connected legislation by the reU-hstag marked one of the most momentous decisions as yet taken by the young German republic's lawmakers. Not only are German reparation pavments fixed definitely and fin ally, thereby removing a great ele ment of uncertainty In German economic life, but a large number of vexing leftovers from the World war are settled. .More than that, an International bank has been created whereby the world's central hankers are aide to meet regularly nnd in a spirit of mutual cooperation to stabilize tho world's exchanges and to aid the world's export trade besides putting Germany's repara tions payments on a strictly bank ing basis.
