"Other users include government agencies, sta- tistics are used, directly or hV-- -- 4";'' A4 Urn W indirectly in almost all planning and decision making related to agriculture, reported Mark H. Jensen, county executive director of the Box Elder County ASCS Office, as he explained the need for farmers to fill in the farm census report fully and " agricultural experiment sta- tions and colleges, farm organizations and businesses on whom farmers depend for information, services, materials and equipment." A nationwide farm census once every five years is set The 1974 census by law. of Agriculture will be taken by mail. Shortly before Jan. 1 the Census Bureau will mail the report forms to farmers, who are asked to fill them out and return them by Jan. 30 if possible. "Response to the census is a legal requirement," Jensen said. By the same law, information furnished on the report forms is kept confidential. It may be seen only by sworn Census employees and may be used only for statistical purposes. Even other government agencies cannot obtain or use the report made by any op- erator. "For instance, nobody in ASCS will ever see any farmer's census report form, although ASCS is cooperating with the Census Bureau in providing information about the farm census," Jensen said. "In fact, no one in ASCS or any other agency of the U.S. Department of Agriculture will have access to the reports filed by farmers. However, there is continuous between the cooperation USDA Agencies and the Bureau of the Census in the Commerce Department." He added, "The Agriculture Department will of course make wide use of the census data once it is compiled, tabulated and published. Publication of data obtained In the 1974 Census of Agriculture is expected to begin in September 1975." He urged formers to fill out the census report forms with careful accuracy and mail them back to the Census Bureau promptly. Late reports delay the census and add to the cost. If any census question is unclear, the farmer should check with his county ASCS office, Jensen said. "We have been given full information about the 1974 Census of Agriculture report form and have answersrto most commonly asked questions.

WFO Producers Sheep, Com prices. Carl Stenquist, Box Elder County NFO president, said the group hopes to ship out a "at least a semi-loa- d week" to buyers as faraway as California and Sioux City, Iowa. "Part of the reason cattle men are in trouble is because a lot of these cows that should have went to market were kept back because of high prices in the past in order to get one more calf put of them," Stenquist said."1'" "This is the reason we them., to short the move buyers on this end so they bid higher," he said. The movement of cull cows is underway nationwide by NFO groups, he added. "We figure we only have about 90 days to save a lot of people" by driving up the price, he said. He admitted, though, that ranchers in northern Utah are much better off than those elsewhere. The NFO feels it can control prices if it can control the sale of 30 percent of production, he explained. Stenquist said a threatened slaughter of calves probably "won't be necessary." Times Leader-Garlan- d Published every Thursday by the Leader Publishing Co. at 10 North 1st West, Tremonton, Utah.

But Fm surprized more of them don't occur after Christmas in January. January that's a month that was invented to fill the gap between December and February. I can't figure out any other logical purpose for the month. January that's the month when it sinks in thattheboss gave you a good bonus just before Christmas and your wife informed you a day lat- er the check book was overdrawn an equal amount. Move About 360 lambs and ewes were sent to market Monday by six local producersall members of the National Farmers Organization. Rancher Carlos Christ-ens- en of Howell said the animals are being shipped to a producer in California as part of the NFCs efforts to insure better prices through collective marketing. The local Farm organization also plans to move as many "cull" cows in the ne xt 90 days as it can arrange sales for in an effort to get rid of the animals which are the flooding currently market and driving down Star-Gaz- er per year.

January when you that's the month tell yourself you're going to get a sizable refund on your income tax and your bookkeeper tells you not to expect your W- -2 form until sometime in April. And your wife tells you she's got plans for that refund. January that's when you have to go back to work with no prospects of a holiday until Washington's birthday and the driveway has to be shoveled to clear off the snow everyother morning. January that's when the Monday night football game suddenly disappears and you find yourself with nothing to do. January that's when all the sales records you set last year come back to haunt you since the boss naturally expects you to do even better the next year. January that's the month when you realize that your wife really doesn't like that new dress you gave her for Christmas even though she was ecstatic about it at the time. And to top it all off, Januarythat's the month when you continually have to tear up checks because you put the wrong date on 'em. I think Pd much rather have been born a bear so I could crawl into a cave somewhere and sleep right thru January.
