BEE. THE FARM CENSUS The work of taking the Farm Census will be started the last of the week or the first of next week by the rural school children and teachers. It is very essential that a census be taken this year because first, there is an alarming scarcity of seed in the face of a world wide food shortage, second, there is a critical abor situation; and third, there is a lack by farmers of definite figured on their business as a whole, such as are possessed by other industries. As a concrete example of the kind of valuable information to be gat- hered, we sight the sale of 62 car- loads of dairy cattle from the north- ern part of one of our large dairy counties during a very short period this past fall. We do not know the extent of the depletion of good herds thru the state, but we do know that the dairy industry must be maintained. Butterfat is es- sential to the growth of young humans as well as other young animals and in event of a serious shortage in milch cows, steps will be taken to make profits in dairy- ing sufficient to stop the sale of good cows. Only a census will give this information and the school children and teachers will be per- forming a highly patriotic piece of work in obtaining the records. The Farm Bureau Manager in each county has been appointed County Census Director by State Director H. E. Babcock. The cen- sus blanks will be sent direct from the county office at Canton to each school teacher, along with a sum- mary blank for that district. When the records are taken, the teacher and pupils will summarize the records for the district and re- turn them to the Farm Bureau Office at Canton. Here the county summary will be made up and for- warded to H. E. Babcock, State Director of Census at Ithaca. Results of the census will be sent to every farmer of the county whose record is sent in. The February issue of the Farm Bureau News will be a special census number and will contain the state and county sum- mary, a list of all men having seed and stock for sale and items of special interest in the county. The completeness and accurate- ness of the census depends on the ' cooperation of all farmers with the I school children and teachers. Thirty-five other states are now or soon will be taking a similar census and we want New State and espec- ially St. Lawrence Caunty to have as complete aud accurate a record as it is possible to get. WELL AND HAPPY Somewhere in France Dec. 26, 1917 Dear Grandma and Grandpa, Just a line to let you know that I am well, and hope these few lines will find you the same. I like it over here and am hav- ing a good time, We had turkey for Xmas and it was fine. The boys are all well and seem to like it here. It was a long ways across the duck pond, we had good weather coming over, saw some fish and they were large ones. This country looks funny it is old fashion just as I expected. The weather is not very cold yet, and they say that it is as cold now as they have here. Write to brother Ernest and tell him to write, did you hear from John, and where is he? I have not heard from him since I left him in Camp Devens. Must ring oS for this time, you can tell the rest, that I am well. From your grandson.

SUBSCRIPTION LAWS Here are the decisions of the United States Courts on the subject of newspaper subscriptions: \Subscribers who do not give ex- press notice to the contrary are con- sidered as wishing to renew their subscriptions. ''If the subscriber refuses to take periodicals from the postoffice, to which they are directed he is respon sible until he has settled his bill and ordered the paper discontinued. \If subscribers move to other places with out informing the pub Usher and the papers are sent to his former address the subscriber is held responsible. \The courts have held that refus- ing to take periodicals from the post office or removing and leaving them uncalled for is prima facie evidence of intention to defraud. If subscribers pay in advance, they are bound to give notice at the end of the time if they do not wish to continue taking it, otherwise the subscriber is responsible until ex- press notice with payment of all ar- rearges is sent to the publisher.\ FOR SALE- Barrel Churm. -A wood heater and Enquire this office.
