COUNTY ASSESSOR
10 GATHER DATA
.,OhI FARMERS

County Assessor J A. McClary has
received from the State Board of I'm
migration the schedules to be used
tins year in collecting agricultural
statistics, as required under the agri-
cultural statistics law passed in 1919.
The information to be collected this
year Is about the same as that collect
ed last year, with few items added.
The most important addition is re
garding fruit, each farmer being ask
ed under the new schedule to give the
number of fruit trees of bearing age
Of the various kinds to be found on his
farm and the number of acres in small
fruits This information was not ask
ed for last year and will not be asked
for again for two or three years, so
it is especially important that this
part of the survey be covered com
pletely.
The schedule is simple and all ques-
tons may be answered by farmers
without reference to any books or &C
counts. IN addition to the number of
acres Of various crops they are rails
ing this year farmers are requested to
give the total acreage of their farms,
acreage first cropped this year, acres
Of unbroken land fit for farming, num-
Der Of silos and farm tractors and
number of hens and brood sows on
April /, 1920 Since the enumeration
is begun on April l, most farmers
will not have planted all their crops
when they are visited by the assessor.
They will be asked to give the total
acreage they expect to devote to each
crop this var, including what they
have planted and what they expect to
plant.
The information to be gathered thru
this survey will be used in keeping
farmers, transportation companies
and others interested informed as to
the amount Of the various crops that
will be produced in the different sec
tions of the state. Crop bulletins

cd production Of all the principal crops
by counties will be published each
