A great increase in the accuracy of the census returns from the farmers, considerable saving of the working} time of the farm enumerators, and the removal of much of whatever misapprehensions and prejudices may exist among farmers with regard to the census are the important results expected by ‘tthe United States Cen- sus Bureaju {td falldw the use of the Advance Farm Schedule, which has been adopted and will be circulated, through the rural postmasters, among the farmers a short time before the actual census taking. ; The employment of this advance {schedule is a ‘distnct imnovation in | census methods, It is the logical and practical outcome of the Census Bureau's persistent effort for some time past to give the farmers a clear and comprehensive preliminary know- and to induce them to keep written equipment in readiness for the call of the enumerators, beginning April 15 next. Four million copies of the schedule will be printed, and the distribution of them among farm owners and ten- ants will be entrusted to ‘the farm en merators soon after they are commis- sioned, about April 1. i Postmaster-General Hitchcock has promised the assistance of his depart- ment in the effective distribution of the schedules, and he ‘will issue in- structions relative thereto to the rural postmasters. the farmers receiving mail at their offices the advance farm schedules supplied them by the enumerators. In a}mote to farmers on the front page of the schedule, Census Director ! Durand) states: i “In accordance with the act % | Congress, tle census of the popula- tion and farms of tthe United States will begin on April 15, 1910. On or soon after that date an enumerator} will call at your house forj the pur- pose of obtaining the required infor- mation concerning your farm. “Many of the questions which will ‘not be accurately answered by you without considerable thought and the making of careful calculations or esti- mates. Therefore, this form has bee! sent to you in advance, so that you }may study the questions at your feonvenience and have the answers | written down .before the enumerator comes}/ | ‘You are earnestly requested to read this form and instructions care- fully, to write down the answers to all questions that apply to your farm, j ledge of the Farm Census questions|> ;a long They will be aS required to address and forward to) the work which is written with John- ing your farm, the enumerator will algo ask you the names, ages, and other facts concerning the members of your household.” PUBLISH STORY OF JOHNSON’S LIFE J. N. Brown, Agent for Itasca County, Will Soon Make Delivery. The life of John Albert Johnson three times ‘‘Governor of Minnesota, came from the press Wednesday. Frank A. Day, Governor Johnson’, private secretary, and Theodore M. Knappen are the authors. The book is publislied by Forbes & Co., of Chicago. It is attractively bound ir red cloth and illustrated with 28 j pictures showing Governor Johnson, his early home, members of his fami-| ly, etc. The volume of 429 pages contains 10 addresses made by John- son while chief executive, a tribute in verse by John Talman, and an in- troduction by President the University of Minnesota. oe Brown, who has the agency for Itasca has already thor- county, records of their farm operations and; oughly canvassed the district and will nm a short time. with unexpected make his deliveries He states he met success in the sale of the work. held any national official position, and was not even recognized at the time of his death as a national politi- cal leader, {though considered the probable nominee of the Democracy for the presidency in 1912, his in- fluence was felt throughout the coun- try and will continue to be felt for time.” This is the tribute paid to Governor Johnson by the au- thors. It is in a sense tthe keynote of son in mind not only as a great Min- nesota leader but also as a figure of national prominence. Thus the authors say: ‘The most notable in- fluence that his career has already exerted is the giving of a mighty impetus to the cause of independence ;and non-partisanship in our nation.” As a result of approaching the sub- jéct from this view point the whole is laid on a broad foundation so that with the governor, as the people of Minnesota were, will still be able to see what manner of man he was and why he exerted so great a power over the hearts of his brothers in the state and compelled the admira- tion of the nation.
