Ag Census Blanks
Received Locally
Jarm census questionnaires
have been received by many
valley farmers as time nears
for the 17th nationwide farm
count. Wednesday was the
kick-off date in eastern coun
ties and Nov. 4 in western
Oregon.
Federal and state agricul
tural workers, largest users of
census data, are anxious for
census information describ
ing the exact situation on
American farms in 1959, re
ported Marion D. Thomas,
Oregon State College exten
sion agricultural economist,
This will be the first oppor
tunity since 1954 for a grass
roots check on changes in the
rapidly shifting farm picture,
he noted.
Farmers will be asked to re
port costs of production and
labor hired this year, as well
as the usual questions about
crops produced, equipment
and practices used.
Oregonians will find their
315-question report form some
what longer than the question
naire in some states because
Oregon produces such a varie
ty of crops.. But, Thomas said,
farmers will need answer only
questions applying to their
particular operation.
The questionnaire covers
such topics as size, use and
ownership of land, crops har
vested, irrigation, forest prod-
. ucts, poultry ' and livestock
production, dairy production,
fertilizer and lime use, select
ed farm expenditures, farm
and off-farm labor, equipment
and facilities, rental agree
ments, farm values and mort
gage debt.
Stolen Traps
Bring Warning
Salem A recent incident
in which 23 traps on a single
line were stolen from one of
the predatory animal hunter's
strings prompts the agencies
cooperating in this program
to renew this warning: a new
law makes illegal the stealing
or molesting traps or other
devices used by official hunt
ers and provides penalties. -'
Penalties, upon conviction,
may include a fine (up to
$500) or "imprisonment in the
county jail not more than one
year, or both".
The same penalties now ap
ply to anyone who steals,
takes or molests animals cap
tured or killed , in official
traps or other devices.
Cooperators In the preda
tory animal program are the
' U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service
and the state department of
agriculture.

Celery Was An Oddity
Washington -uJFS- Celery,
now popular and plentiful,
once was regarded as an odd
ity, says the Agriculture De
partment. A few generations
ago, this advice was given:
"How to learn to eat celery .
Eat a little celery every day
or two. Do not give up if at
first it is disagreeable., But
persevere, be determined, and
all dificulties finally will be
overcome."
The London Zoo now pro
' vides Budgereegahs (zebra
parakeets) on loan to a hospi
tal at Haywards Heath for
the enjoyment of the patients.
