FARMERS0NCENSU
Queries and All Kinds of Advice
Sent to National Bureau.
Officials Invite Cooperation and Make
Arrangements to Consult Many
Experts Of Country as to
Methods.

Washington.-The farmers Of the
United States are naturally very much
interested in the census Of agricul-
ture and farms that will be taken
April Is, 1910. as one Of the subjects
to be covered by the thirteenth de-.
cennial census. Many are showing
their interest by writing to the census
bureau for the purpose of making
comments on census information re.
garding agriculture as presented in
the past.
The director Of the census wei
all such suggestions, n gives
them careful consideration, as he IS
anxious to have the results of the
coming census correspond as nearly
as may be to the desires of the people
most interested.
In addition to studying carefully
these suggestions, the director has on
his own initiative requested certain
professors Of economics and agricul'
ture of the more important UNIVERSE
ties of the country. and other persons
who have specialized in agricultural
matters. to come to Washington for a
short time for the purpose of studying
carefully and criticising plans now un'
der way.
Especially is it desired to obtain
their opinion relative to the questions
to be asked, and their form. as the re-
suits to be obtained will so largely
depend on the character of the seized.
ule and the manner in which the ques'
lions are propounded.
These suggestions. coming from out
side experts. are proving to be OF
great value. and it is believed that IN
consequence of this preliminary study
more valuable and accurate data will
be obtained than could otherwise be
secured.
After these special students and ex'
perts have made their preliminary
studies. formal conferences are held
in the Office in which the whole matter
Of the character Of the schedules and
the best methods of securing the in
formation are thoroughly gone over.
The department is also seeking to
secure the advice and cooperation, as
far as possible. of the officers and ex
