THE CENSUS AND THE FARMER

In 1900 the census reported 5.739..
657 farms in the United States, an
increase of 1,175,O16 over the census
of 1890. At the same rate of increase
1t is estimated that the total number
of farms in the United States should
now reach s,914,673. Roughly speak
ing, it is safe to say that there are
now 100000 farms in Uncle Sans
domnions. In 1900 there were 10,433,-
2SS males and females over ten years
of age engaged in agricultural pur-
Sits. 1t is now estimated that the
number will exceed those figures by
several millions. The magnitude of
these figures emphasize the impor-
lance of this industry and how de-
pendent the country is upon it. The
census enumerators next year will be
required to obtain the following in
formation.
The value of each farm. Each farm
er will be asked to give the acreage,
quantity produced and value of each
crop, including grains, hay, vegeta-
bles, fruit. cotton, tobacco, etc., raised
on The farm in the season of 1909.
Each farmer will be asked to report
the number and value of all domestic
animals, poultry and swarms of bees
On the farm April Is, 1910; also the
number AMI value of young animals,
such as calves, colts, lambs, pigs, and
of young fowls, such as chickens, tur-
keys, ducks. ETC., raised on the farm
in 1909. He will be further asked to
state the number and kind of animals
sold during 1909 and the receipts from
such sales, the number purchased and
the amount paid therefor, and also
the number slaughtered for food, and
the value Of such animals.
The law requires a report of the
number of COWS kept for dairy pur-
poses in 1909, and the total estimated
amount of milk produced on the farm,
dloO IllC dL4OOuJ VI OuIICl anu C1CCOC
sold and the amount received from
such sale.
In addition to the inquiry regarding
animals, ETC., on the farm April Is,
1910, as explained previously, the
census will seek to ascertain the guam
tity and value of all eggs, honey and
wax produced on the farm in 1909.
Of the expenditures of the farm,
the census schedule will call for a
statement of the amount paid farm
labor, the amount paid for feed for
live stock and the amount expended
for fertilizers in 1910.
If the farm changes owners or ten
ants between the crop year, 1909, and
the date of enumeration, April 10,
1910, it is requested that the occupant
of the farm in 1910 shall secure the
above information relating to the
farm for the preceding year, 1909. The
owner. or tenant this year should
leave his book record with his sue
cessOr.
