ADVANCE FARM SCHEDULE
Farmsrs to 30 Fvrnishsd copiss 3d.
fors tho Census Begins

Washington. d. c., Mar. II. 1910.
A great increase In the accuracy OF
the census returns from the farmers,
u considerable saving OF the working
time Of the farm enumerators, and the
removal Of much OF whatever misap-
prehensions and prejudices may exist
among farmers with regard to the
census are the important results ex-
pected by the United States Census
Bureau to follow the use Of the
Advance Farm Schedule, which has
been adopted and will be circulated,
through the rural postmasters, among
the farmers short time before the
actual census taking.
The employment Of this advance
schedule ia a distinct innovation In
census methods. 1t Is the logical and
practical outcome OF the Census
Bureaus persistent effort for some
time past to give the farmers a clear
and comprehensiv preliminary know :
ledge OF the Farm Census questions
and to induce them to keep written
records OF their farm operations and
equipment In readiness for the call Of
the enumerators, beginning April Ii
next.
Four million copies Of the schedule
will be printed, and the distribution
Of them among farm owners and ten
ants will be intrusted to the farm
enumerators soon after they are com.
missiDned, about April |.
Postmaster.General Hitchcock has
promised the assistance OF his depart.
ment in the effective distribution OF
the schedules, and he will issue In
structions relative thereto to the rural
postmasters. They wfil{be required
to address and forward to the farmers
receiving mail at their Offices the ad
vance farm schedules supplied them
by the epumerators.
In a note to farmers on the from page
OF the schedule, Census Director
Durand states: H.,
In accordance withSthe act OF Con-
gress, the census of the population
