Questions Announced for Pennsylva-
nia Farm Census. |
Recognizing the need of more comni-
plete information pertaining to the
agriculture of the State the 1921 Leg-
islature passed an act requiring the
assessors, when making the triennial
assessment, to gather such data re-
lating to the acreage of the principal
farm crops, the number of livestock,
and other facts pertaining to the ag-
ricultural resources of the State as
the Secretary of Agriculture might
require. The act becomes operative
this year. The department already
has the questions made up in conven-
ient book form and ready to be dis-
tributed to the assessors by the coun-
ty commissioners. The questions are
as follows:
Number in family—Male..... Female......
Owner Or renter..........eeeeee

Has farm a radio outfit? (answer yés &8F
Secretary Willetts, in commenting
upon the subject, says that he hopes
to receive the support of the county
commissioners, assessors and farmers
in making this census complete, since
the facts brought out are greatly
needed and will be of material benefit
to them, and particularly:
To the county commissioners in
making provisions for the needs of
agriculture in their cotitigs; based
up6n the information compiled by the
townships.
To the county agricultural associa-
tion in measuring the progress and
changes on farms and in planning
their work for the best development
of the agricultural communities.
To the Pennsylvania Department of
Agriculture for compiling agricultur-
al statistics for the State, of basic
importance on forming the State’s ag-
ricultural policy.
To The Pennsylvania State College
for its teaching, research, and exten-
sion work in the field of agriculture.
To the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture, in checking and supplement-
ing census figures insofar as Pennsyl-
vania agriculture affects national ag-
ricultural statistics and developments.
To the farmer most of all, by en-
abling these different agencies and
various farm organizations to serve
him more effectively through knowl-
edge of these essentials of farm facts.
The information is to be treat-
ed as confidential. The fiilled
out blanks will be returned to
the Secretary of Agriculture and
will have no connection with any tax-
ation measures. Similar laws are now
in operation in seventeen other agri-
cultural States.
Taxes Make British Landlords Des-
perate.
The Marquis of Cholmondeley’s po-
sition, owing to inheritance taxes
which have been levied upon him, is
“desperate,” according to a statement
by his agent.
Tenants of the Marquis petitioned
for the privilege of purchasing their
holdings, prior to public sales which
have been announced. The agent re-
plied that Marquis Cholmondeley
would like to accede to the request,
but that the situation demanded “des-
perat treatment.”
Lord Cholmondeley who owns 34,-
000 acres, succeeded his father in
March last year. The burden of es-
tate duties and taxation generally lies

Many Bellefonte Folks Are Showing
How to Avoid Needless Suffering.
_There’s nothing more annoying than
kidney weakness or inability to prop-
erly control the kidney secretions.
Night and day alike, the sufferer is
tormented and what with the burning
and scalding, the attendant backache,
headache and dizziness, life is indeed
a burden. Doan’s Pills—a stimulant
diuretic to the kidneys—have brought
peace and comfort to many Bellefonte
people. Profit by this Bellefonte res-
ident’s experience:
Mrs. Mahala Kreps, Phoenix Ave.,
says: “My kidneys were in wretched
condition and I suffered a lot with
dull, nagging backaches. At night
the pains were so severe I couldn’t
rest. My kidneys acted too often and
I.had dizzy spells and headaches.
Doan’s Pills helped me from the first
and four boxes cured me. I have had
no return of the trouble.”

1925 Licenses Not Good Until Jan. 1.
Harrisburg.—Warning
served by the State Highway Depart-
ment that 1925 automobile license
tags, although being delivered and
mailed to applicants at this time, are
illegal until January 1, 1925. An au-
tomobile bearing only a 1925 license
tag at this time is violating the law
to the same extent as an automobile
bearing no license tag at all.
Motor patrolmen have reported the
presence of 1925 tags on the road and
a car bearing next year’s tag was
seen parked in front of the Automo-
bile Division building. :
The Department also announces
that at the close of business on Sep-
tember 24th, the Automobile Divis-
ion had issued 46,000 sets of passen-
ger vehicle license tags for 1925.
