 District Supervisor, Will
 Appoint the Enumerators

With the exception of the final ap- pointment of the enumerators for the various districts, plans for the taking of the 1920 census, to be the biggest and most complete in history, in Ari- zona district No. 1, are practically complete, according to reports at the office of Sam Bradner, supervisor of the census in this district, yesterday
 From his office in the Elks building, Mir. Bradner and his assistants will direct the enormous task of taking the census in the six northern and one southwestern counties of Arizona, a territory embracing more than two thirds of the area of the state. The counties in this district. one of the two into which the state is divided for cen sus purposes, are Maricopa, Yuma, Yavapai, Coconino, Mohave, Apache and Navajo counties. one enumerator will be employed in each of the 133 dis tricts in this district
 Although MT. Bradner's office is busily engaged in making ready for the taking of the census. which will begin the second day of January, the final appointment of the enumerators for the 13S districts will find al in readiness for the opening census day. The emu meratOrs for the districts in and near Phoenix will probably be appointed early next week, and the others later on.
 Starts January
 The taking of the fourteenth decen- nial census of the United States of America will begin throughout the first of January and will continue through the month. Director of Gen. sus Samuel Rogers. at Washington, has announced that all is in readiness for the campaign, in which S7,O00 enum- orators and 322 supervisors will be eu.- ployed.
 One of the most important features of the census this year, in so far as it affects the Salt River valley and other farming districts of the district ! is the agricultural census, which will be taken at the same time. For every l farm one general questionable, em- bracipg 75 questions, each containing ] from two to ten sub questions, will be ] filled out
 By means of this farm census, the l federal government will obtain com plete and thorough statistics on agri- culture, and since agriculture is the greatest interest in the Salt River val ! ley this farm census is an important factor here, as it will place accurate and final statistics on the valley within reach of everyone
 Many Questions Asked
 In the. questions tobe filled out or every farm every phase is covered, such as tenure, crops garden and dairy pro- ducts, expenses. buildings, improve ments, implements, drainage, irrigation use of automobiles and tractors tele- phones and electric fghts.etc. After the census is taken, complete materia will be available on the progress anC situation of agriculture.
