$4,000 CENSUS WORKERS
BEGIN ENUMERATION or
UNITED STATES FARMS

Washington, d. C.--Approximately
$4,000 federal census employees have
begun the huge task of enumeratine
the more than six million farms and
ranches of the United States in what
is probably the most important agri-
cultural census in the nations his
tory, according to statement releas-
ed by Director William L. Austin,
Bureau Of the Census, Department Of
Commerce. Plans call for the COM
pletion of the canvass before the end
of January.
"The earnest cooperation of the
farmer is necessary to the success of
this census, for it is one Of the feder-
al activities designed primarily for
his benefit. However, the welfare Of
agriculture affects all other indus
tries, directly or indirectly, and the
public generally. The statistics are
necessary not only for the ordinary
transaction of governmental business,
but also for allotment programs.
These program range from the allo-
cations Of the Agricultural Adjust
ment Administration to the Federal
Emergency Relief and Farm Credit
Administrations. Indeed, the benefits
expected to be derived from this CEN
sus are incalculable and will have
marked influence on the future well
fare of agriculture and the country as
a whole.
"Due to the splendid cooperation
of newspapers, farm publications,
radio broadcasting stations, state and
county farm agencies and organizes
tions and 2707 educational institu-
tions in disseminating information
concerning the Importance of this
farm census more than a million
copies of the sample schedule have
have been distributed to farmers.
Those who do not have sample sched-
ules are urged to write, phone or
call at the farm census headquarters
in their district, procure a copy,
study the questions and have their
records ready when the enumeration
calls. The headquarters for the 9th
District of N. C. is located at P. o.
Bldg, Statesville, N. C.
"The Bureau desires to call atten-
tion to the law which provides that
the individual return made by each
farmer is an absolutely confidential
government report and to emphasize
the fact that no Individual figures
will be used for taxation purposes
nor given to any tax official. All
enumerators, as we'll as all Census
employees, are sworn to secrecy and
are required to read the lay and the
severe penalties established for any
disclosure of information. Only swornS
employees of the Census Bureau have
access to the files. Section 9 of the
Fifteenth Decennial Census Act pro-
vides penalties for failure to answer
questions asked by enumerators or
for giving false information.

WILL BE AID TO FARMERS

Washington, April 20.-(R>-F. f.
Burchard, Of the North Dakota hail
insurance department, said Saturday
the farm credit administration had
agreed to underwrite hail insurance
on North Dakota crops to protect its
interest in seed loans.
Burchard, who came here . week
ago to request the government to take
such action, said nothing but legal
obstacles could prevent the govern
ment insuring the 1885 crops Of farm
ers unable to meet their hail insur-
ance premiums under the state law.
He said the attorney general had
been asked for an opinion as to the
legality of such federal insurance
and would probably give his decision
the first Of the week.
After waiting several days for Nor
man Monaghan. director OF the emer-
gency crop and feed loan section Of
the FCA, to return from q trip to the
middlewest, Burchard and Represent
ative Lemke (Rep.-ND.) were given
a hearing. Burchard said he found
Monaghan had real grasp Of ouI
problems"
He explained that under North Da-
kota law farmers who are delinquent
on their hail insurance premiums can
not be insured on this years crops
Hail, he said, was the North Dakota
farmers most serious menace, next ia
drouth.
Harold Hopton. commissioner Of in
surance Of North Dakota, arrived by
plane Saturday to join Burchard IN
pleading for federal assistance.
Burchard said the FCA had allocat-
ed $l4,000,000 to North Dakota farm
ers for seed loans. Two insurance
proposals are under consideration. he
said, one providing that the govern
ment lend additional funds or work
out q plan to write blanket insurance
for all of its seed loans. Working this
out. he said. was merely . matter Of
detail.
Burchard said he would leave for
North Dakota Sunday.
