THE J920 CENSUS
The 1920 Census does not attempt
to get at the value of the products of
the farm, but does try to find the
amount of bushels or other units of
measure that the farmer has raised
for sale in excess of what he feeds or
uses on the farm.
In the taking of some of the former
censeses the attempt was made to
get at the value of the livestock that
the farmer sold. This often led to
duplication, as sometimes during the
year the same stock was sold to two
or three different men, each man re-
porting the sale, when really only
one animal was sold for market.
A special effort is made to find out
the tenure of the farms, whether
owned or rented, and if rented what
share of other rental is paid. Also
the emcumbrance, as well as the value
of the farm, and the rate of interesjt
paid.
The farm expenses are divided into
four heads; the amount expended for
hay, grain, mill feed and other pro-
ducts not raised on the farm, but
that were fed to livestock including
poultry; the amount expended for
fertilizer; the amount expended in
cash for farm labor, excluding that
for housework, and then the esti-
mated value of house or room rent
and board for farm laborers in 1919,
in addition to cash wages paid. The
information will be gathered from
the occupant of the land January
1st, 1920, regardless of whether he
farmed that land or not.
Each farmer is expected to esti-
mate the total amount of milk pro-
duced on his farm, as well as the
number of dozen eggs sold, the num-
ber of chickens raised, whether sold
or not, and the number of chickens
sold; the number of domestic animals
slaughtered on the farm for food—
not their value—just the number
used.
In farm facilities inquiry is made
concerning the number of tractors,
automobiles and motor trucks on the
farm, whether the farm has a tele-
phone, water piped into the house,
gas or electric lights. Inquiry is also
made as to the value of products sold
to co-operative marketing organiza-
tions in 1919, as well as the value of
the farm supplies purchased through
farmers organizations.
As to crops the inquiry is made as
to the number of acres harvested, the
quantity harvested and' the quantity
to be sold.
We will be" glad to furnish a sample
farm schedule to anyone who will
make application for same. This will
assist the farmer as well as the
enumerators in January.
No inquiry is made as to the
All persons iamount of Srowin£ crops, including
wheat, or the amount that the farmer
intends to grow in 1920, although the
inquiry as to the size of the farm is
made as to number of acres in culti-
vation, as well as the number of acres

CALL FOR REPUBLICAN PRE-
CINCT AND COUNTY CONVEN-
TIONS.
Hooker, Oklahoma, Dec. 31, 1919.
Call for Republican County Con-
vention to convene in Guymon, Okla-
homa, on February 5, 1920 at 2
o'clock p. m. for the purpose of elect-
ing delegates to attend the State Re-
publican Convention, at Oklahoma
City on February 11, 1920 and for
precinct conventions to be held on
February 2, 1920 to elect delegates
to the County Convention on above
date.
On February 2nd the Republican
voters of all the county precincts will
meet at their respective voting places
and elect delegates as follows, re-
presentation being based on each ten
votes or major fraction thereof cast
for McKeever for Governor at the
last general election:
Optima 2; Stratton 2; Goodwell 3;
Carthage 2; Tepee 2; Advance 3;
Guymon No. 1, 10; Dague 1; Hooker
11; Turney 2; Range 3; Camp Kelt-
ner 2; Eubank 1; Friendship 2; Na-
bisco 2; Hackberry 3; Hardesty 1;
Frisco 2; Texhoma 5; Pleasant View
7; Red Point 1; Sledgeville 1.
The basis of the County represen-
tation at the State Convention will be
one delegate to each 100 votes or
major fraction thereof cast for Mc-
Keever for Governor at the last gen-
eral election, or a total of eight dele-
gates for Texas County.
This calls for a complete reorgan-
ization of the Republican party of
Texas County in the various precincts
and in each precinct there should be
elected a Precinct Chairman and a
Secretary. In the County organiza-
tion there will be elected a Chairman
of the County organization and a se-
cretary to serve for two years and at
the county convention there will also
>e elected eight delegates to attend
the district convention 6f the Eighth
Congressional District at such time
and place as it may be called. These
delegates may be the same as those
elected to the State convention or an
entirely different set of delegates
may be elected to attend the District
Convention, same to be determined
at the County Convention on Febru-
ary 5, 1920.
Republicans will take notice and
govern themselves accordingly.

—JAMES J. HILL
The Successful Farmer
Raises Bigger Crops
and cuts down costs by investment in
labor-saving machinery.
Good prices for the farmers' crops en-
courage new investment, more production
and greater prosperity.
But the success of agriculture depends
on the growth of railroads—the modern
beasts of burden that haul the crops to
the world's markets.
The railroads—like the farms—increase
their output and cut down unit costs by
the constant investment of new capital.
With fair prices for the work they do,
the railroads are able to attract new capital
for expanding their facilities.
Rates high enough to yield a fair return
will insure railroad growth, and prevent
costly traffic congestion, which invariably
results in poorer service at higher cost.
National wealth can increase only as our
railroads grow.
Poor railroad service is dear at any
price. No growing country can long pay
the price of inadequate transportation
facilities.
