FARM CENSUS ECONOMY.
Director Durand Hopes to Save Sew.

erai Hundred thousand Dollars.
Washington, Oct. ILL.,. s. Census
Director Dana E. d. rand hopes to save
several hundred thousand dollars in
taking the census of agriculture and
also to increase the accuracy Of the
statistics.
The director stated today that at, the
census of 1909 the agricultural data
were handled by means of punched
cadrs. For each farm a large number
of cards had to be punched, as the
number of facts recorded regarding a
farm was far greater than the number
of facts required regarding an individ-
ual in the population census.
Director Durand said the statistics
Of population and of agriculture are
collected by different force from that
employed in gathering the statistics
of manufactures. The population and
agricultural data are secured by enum-
orators of whom there will be about
IS, 900 at the present census, they in
turn being appointed by the supervis-
ors, of whom there are about $50. The
difficulty of securing competent and
faithful enumerators is very great
The length of service is very short, is
days in the cities and 80 days in the
country districts The pay is small,
averaging perhaps three dollars per
day in the country districts and a trifie
more in the cities, practically the pay
of ordinary mechanics. Not only,
therefore, are most of those who seek
to be neumerators able to command
only moderate pay in their occupa-
tions, but many of them are men who
can not command regular employment
and who are looking for odd jobs
The director hopes that consider
able number of the colleges and univer
stiles of the country''m may see fit to giv'
leave of absence to Sheir students TO
the short time required to do this worl
of enumeration. The college student i
a very useful enumeration in SOM
cases, but it is exceedingly desirable
that enumerators should actually liv
in the distritsc where they work, ant
there are multitudes of districts wher
no college students reside or where sue
students are in institutions hundreds o
thousands of miles from their homes
Another class who can render good ser
vice as enumerators are school teach
ers, but, with the enumeration takinI
place in April and May instead of Jun
as formerly, few school teachers can b
spared from their duties to take tn
census.
