Farm Census Enumerators
Socn To Begin Work

Final preparations for the 1885
agriculture census for the 18th and
18th congressional district are be-
ing completed The census will
start soon after Jan. i, 1885. Jen-
nings G. Bryan, district supervisor.
Altogether 10S enumerators will
work in this district, these men be-
ing selected from the rural dis
tricts where the farms are located.
All reports given to the enumerator
are confidential, and information
in the reports will not be used as a
basis for taxation, nor commune
Gated to any tax official
An outline of the questions to be
asked Of the farmers follows:
The census enumerator will pro-
cure, first, the name and address of
the farm population, movement
from cities and farm labor; next,
the details of the farm acreage,
which includes crop land harvested,
idle land, crop failure, plowable
pasture and other grazing land,
WOOuldnd, duu otDCl,
farm waste land
They will follow the acreage and
production of the principal crops.
The expansion of relatively new
crops, such as soy beans and Japan
clover, will be recorded. These
crops have been used widely in the
drouth area. The measured effect
of the drouth will be shown in the
changes in yield of crops and in the
amount and extent of crop failures.
In addition to the so-called major
crops, records will be made of the
leading fruits and vegetables. For
apples, cherries, peaches, pears,
plums and prunes, citrus fruits, and
grapes, the items will be number of
trees or vines of bearing and non
bearing age in 1884, and produc-
tion. For vegetables, the acreage
of cabbage, tomatoes, sweet corn
and green beans will be shown. Al
though the census will be somewhat
restricted, it is necessary to show
vegetables because of the very
marked change in American diet
which has occurred in the last 20
years, and because this change is
SO accurately reflected by the sta
