. (CREASED BY
PRESENT LAWS
WASHINGTON, Nov. 7. -That the
fourteenth decennial census, on which
the actual enumeration work will be
gin January 2, 1920. is to be the most
important ever taken, is shown by
the fact that the act of congress pro
viding for this census expressly in
creased the scope of the inquiries so
as to include forestry and forest prod
ucts, two subjects never covered spe
cifically by any preceding census.
The inquiries to be made relating ;
to population, manufactures, mines, j
quarries and agriculture were also ex
tended in their scope by congress, the
keenest interest over the forthcoming
census having been shown by the
members of the census committees of
both the house and senate while the
law was under consideration.
The statistics gathered on mining
will include all oil and gas wells.
Many startling developments in this
important branch of the nation’s re
sources are looked for by census of
ficials. The figures gathered in
Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas will no
doubt prove to be those most eagerly
sought for, as shown by inquiries al
ready received by the census bureau.
The compilation and gathering of
forestry and forest products statistics
will be in charge of a special force of
experts. The accurate and compre
sensive figures gathered concerning
this vital natural resource will be
much in demand, and the compari
sons made with conditions existing
before the war will be of great in
terest. \
Agricultural statistics will likewise
be the subject of special effort on the
part of the census bureau, as the im
portance of farming is being realized
by the average citizen far more than
ever before.
