ENGINEER ADVISES DELAY IN WATERWAY IMPROVEMENTS
Reenmmends Schedule of Work
for Year and Baoying of Creeks
amd Chtamels.
Civil Engineer Birdsall JacksOn who has been in c;barge of the im¬ provement of town waterways, strb- mitted his annual report to the Towti Board on Tuesday. Owing to t.he ab- normnlly high prices of material Mr. .lackson says in his report that he would not be in favor of starting any¬ thing new at present, and toid tne Hoard tbat he believes in the policy of makinjj permanent whnt has been done and in getting rendy to work to the best advantage wh«n prices are nga'in normal. In conclusion the re¬ port reads:
"The extra cost nf labor and mate¬ rials will necessarily make some dif- f!'rence in the amount we will be able to do in the future within our fixed appropriation. I would not, however recommend any incrense in the ap¬ propriation. I think we should rather try to ao arrange our pro.?rHm thii the lesser amount of work done will sufFirc for the needs of the town until condition.s arc radically different."
.Mr. Jack.'.on also fold the Hoard that he would try to keep so far below the total appri/priution that there would lie a workin;r balance left at the clo.^e of the year.
The report rccommonds tbat furth¬ er expenditures be made for improve¬ ments at Fundy and High Flats brain, where the cross tides and dilTi-
f'll'y of f'ispflSinj? of the nmterials ll Ul. l.fndicappeH the engineer snd his assiatante. Dredginft at the east- .fly «md of Hiah Flat* Drain is es¬ peieially desirable, says the report, in the interests of tbe oystermen, tc whom tbe use of thia channel ia in- dispcnaable.
iRecommendations are made that the waterways lying off Bellmore and con¬ tingent waterways lie given special attention, particularly wlong the fer¬ ry routes to High Ifill Beach or auc'h portions of'these routes aa lie within the limits of the town of Hempstead. Iti thia aection no money was expend¬ ed for dredging during the past year.
The sys-tom of buoying the princi¬ pal waterways are in Ihe main satis¬ factory, says the report, and the ex¬ tension of the btioyinff system to in¬ clude the waters a<ijacent to Hast Rockaway, Woodmere and Lon;? Reach Fcems to have proven .oatiFfacJory to those who pptiMoncd for tbo huoys.
The n^port irici'idcs a recommi-nda- tion that buoys be nlaced at each .side of the entrince to Sf'a Dog Creek.
Mr. Jackson speaks of the favorable C'smmont.''. th.'it h.'^ve conio to aim re¬ garding the improvement at Free- port Creek nnl Parsonage CrcKk nt Haldwin; fur her work at thp lower end of these waterways would help to make the results at the creeks more permanent, he states, in recommend¬ ing that tho additional work be done this coming seaaon.
The report was ordered filed, and the work rocomniended will, undoubt¬ edly, be taken up during' tbe current year as necessity wari^nts.

H. J. Evans of the Nassau County Farm Bureau has been advised by the authorities at Washington that the United States Department of Ag¬ riculture will sell at cost a supply of nitrate of so<ia to farmers in Nassau County. The notice reads that the nitrate was purchased through the War Industrial Board under the au¬ thority of the Food Control Act as part of the program for stimulating agicultural production. It will be un¬ loaded at Atlantic ports, and the price will be $75.50 a ton, free on board cars of arrival. Last year farmers in this section paid over one hundred dollars a ton for the nitrate, and found it diilicult to gert any even at that price.
The nitrate is used on sweet com, lettuce, spinach and sometimes as a top dressing for potatoes; from it is manufactured the nitrogen, which is one of the essential ingredients of the ordinary fertilizer, and which has been exceptionally scarce since the outbreak of the war.
The government announces that it has 100,000 tons of the nitrate, and that applications for a part of it will be re?6ived only from actual farmers or owners or holders of farms for use on their lands. Applications may be made through County Agent Evans or througlf any member of a local committee to be announced later and consisting of a member from each township.
No money will be required with the application, but upon notice from the County Agent farmers who have sign¬ ed applications must deposit with a local hank, designated by the Secre¬ tary of Agriculture to act as farmers' agent for that purpose, money to cov¬ er the cost of the fertilizer, except the freight charge. After the money is transmitted to Washington the ni¬ trate will be shipped to tbe farmers. If applications for the nitrate exceed the supply of about 100,000 tons, the government will allot tho supply on a pro rata basis among those who ap- pied. Applications must be received by February 4.
TAKING CENSUS OF FARMERS IN COUNTY
Farm Bureau to Conduct Work- Will Take About Two Weeks.
The farm census wbicb was taken last Spring, through tho co-operation of school superintendents, sehool prin¬ cipals and school children, was found to be of such immediate value to the public authorities that a similar cen¬ sus is to be taken this year under the direction of the United States De¬ partment of Agriculture and the State Food Commission. This censiia will be begun about the 2&tih of January and should be completed within the week following that date.
The Farm Bureau Manager, Mr. Evans, is the director of this work, in co-operation with the district and village superintendents. Bilanks will be furnished to the principals of the schools and tihe work of collecting in¬ formation called for will be d<Jhe by the teachers -with the aid of the older pupils. It is proposed to have these blanks in the hands of the teachers during the week commencing Janu¬ ary 21st, so that tiie work may be done largely on Saturday, January 26th, and Saturday, February 2nd. Full information n*ay be obtained! from the Farm Census Manager or from one of the district superintend¬ ents of schools.
As this census is of great impor¬ tance and will aid very materially in the regulation of Food Supply by the State Food Commission, it is hoped and expected that there will be a ready response on the part of all farmers and others engaged ia any form of food production.
Wihile tihe proper taking of this census involves some labor and trou¬ ble, and may, to some extent, intpr- fere with school work, it is a patriot- I ic duty which the principals an<l teachers are asked to perform. It has the hearty approval of the State Commissioner of Education, and there should he bhe fullest co-opera¬ tion on the part of all. Our work last Spring was highly appreciated We expect that there will bo just as prompt and willing response to the call this year sis then.
