ANSWERS TO CORRESPONDENTS.
"Sportsman"—The duck-shooting season in the Ellesmere District opens on May Ist. TAKING THE CENSUS. TO THE EDITOS OF "THE PRESS-" Sir,—l desire to entirely dissociate myself from the sub-enumerator who pours out his imaginary woes in today's "Press." His communication seems to mc an uncommonly poor return to tho male heads of households, whose invariable courtesy I desire to acknowledge, and to their wives and children who, with kindly smiling faces, take in the c.ensus papers and hand them out completed. In my division there is not a single house of accommodation for wayfarers, and that has rendered all the more acceptable the generous offers of lunch, tea, and liquid refreshment with which I have daily been made welcome. The census papers, too, have been most carefully and correctly filled in, and so have been the agricultural and pastoral statistical papers.—Yours, etc., G. M. BUTTERWORTH, Sub-Enumerator Avon Riding. April 4th, 1911.
