MAIL CARRIERS TO ..
REPORT ON ACREAGE
New Plan Will Be Put Into Eff
feet By Federal Department
This Fall

ATLANTA May 13-The plas of
using rural mail carriers for gather
ing harvest acreage figures to be
put into effect this fall by the Uni
ted States department of agricrl-
ture, should prove of great help 20
the government in making accurate
acreage estimates, according to J.
j. Brown, state commissioner of
agriculture.
Undoubtedly this method of OBJ
tanning crop information win afford
a better basis for making accurate
estimates as the more data avail
able, the more accurate should be
the figures" said Mr.. Brown in an
interview today THE information
gathered by the rural carriers. to-
gether with that furnished by the
regular correspondents Throughout the
country, will give the government
more accurate check on acreage
figures"
1t is pointed out that there are
pore chan /, 500 rural mail ear
riers in Georgia who will be able
to reach many thousand farmers in
every section of the state. The car
riers will distribute and collect
cards from the farmers on which
will be shown the acreage harvested
or to be harvested on individual
farms, according to the plan propos-
ed by the United States department
of agriculture and approved by
Postmaster General New.
Approximately $4,000 rural car
riers throughout the country will,
beginning in September, distribute
the government cards to more than
100000 farmers, it is stated. This
is the first thine that the carriers
have been used for this purpose.
Heretofore, the department has
mailed out each fall, approximately
10000 schedules to individual
farmers and the number of replies
were said to be considerably less
representative of the country as a
whole than will be the farms report
ed on under the new system ac-
cording to officials of the depart
ment.
tits expected that under the rural
carrier plan, approximately 10 FER
cent sample of typical farms will
be used in estimating total acreage
figures for all farms.
Department officials pointed cut
that the utilization of rural mail
carriers in this work is one of the
samples of economy being practised
by the department and is made pos
sible through the efficiency with
which rural carriers have been col
lecting figures on births, deaths and
the number of pigs on farms.
The regular agriculture census by
the census bureau is also TO be made
this year and when the figureA re
available the department of agri-
culture will have an excellent check
on the accuracy of the sample meth
cd of calculating acreage, it is
stated
