Points Regarding the Taking of the Census.

The census begins April 15 and must be completed in thirty days. The enumerators will wear a badge inscribed “United States Census, 1910.” The law requires every adult person to furnish the.prescribed informal tion, but also provides that it shall be treated confidentially, so that no in-

jury can come to any person from answering the questions. The Census Bureau, prior to April 15, will distribute to every farm owner and tenant in this state a blank or schedule containing the census quesv tions relative to farm operations and equipment. This should be filled up, if possible, not later than the morning of April 15, but if anyone has been unable to fill it up by that time, he should do it as soon afterwards as he can. . •' People who do not speak English or who do not understand the schedule completely should get help from others, if possible, in filling it up. The President has issued a proclamation, calling on all citizens to cooperate with the census and assuring them that it has nothing to do with taxation, army or jury service, compulsory school attendance, regulation of immigration, or enforcement of any law, and that no one can be injured by answering the inquiries. It is of the utmost importance that the farm census of this state be complete and correct. Therefore every farm owner arid tenant should promptly, fully and accurately fill up the “Advance Farm Schedule” and carefully preserve it for the enumerator when he calls.
