The Department of Agriculture, 
through* rhe rural mail carriers, will set 
up machinery early in May to obtain the 
pig population of the 14 States leading 
jn Ihf production of swine. More than 
14,000 carriers, connected with 9.500 
postoffices, will take the pig census. As 
they start out with their pack of mail 
the carriers will distribute card ques¬ 
tionnaires on which will be obtained re¬ 
ports from tbe farms on each route. 
I‘rom these returns percentages and State 
totals will be worked out and applied to 
the total of all farms in the 14 States. 
The mail men will supply the informa¬ 
tion -mowing the pig birth rate from 
January 1 to June 30. for comparison 
with the record for the first half of last 
year. The individual pig data will be 
guarded as secret as an income tax re¬ 
turn. The States to be emhraeed in the 
census arc Ohio. Indiana. Illinois. Iowa. 
Nebraska. Kansas, Missouri. Michigan. 
Wisconsin. Minnesota. South Dakota. 
Georgia. Alabama and Mississippi. 
New York State game protectors in

violations of the fish and game laws with 
recoveries of $52,051. according to an 
announcement by Conservation Commis¬ 
sioner Alexander McDonald. It was 
pointed out that there was an average 
of 28 cases for each protector and an 
average recovery of $579. The average 
recovery Jn each case was $29. 
Mosquito extermination in large part 
is responsible for the average increase of 
307 per cent in the value of taxable 
property in New Jersey from 1899 to 
1921. This is the opinion of the State 
Department of Conservation and L>evel- 
optnent, made public March 19. The 
department pointed out that, with the 
exception of Camden, the nine counties 
whose increases has exceeded 300 per 
cent have organized extermination com¬ 
missions. Only two counties with an in¬ 
crease of less than 300 per cent have 
such bodies. T. .T. ncadlee, entomologist 
at the State Agricultural Experiment 
Station, says the salt marsh mosquito is 
the ^greatest single factor now operative 
in South Jersey in depressing real estate 
values and preventing the proper devel¬ 
opment of that section of rho State. 
The Agricultural Cnion of the Czecho¬
