1854 Farm Census
To Be Conducted

The 1854 farm census will be
conducted throughout the United
States in October and November.
Actually it will be the 10th time,
since 1910, that farmers have been
interviewed by enumerators of the
Bureau Of the Census.
In advance of the census takers
visit, a QUESTIONABLE will be mailed
to farmers for completing. The
enumerator will pick it up when
he visits the farm.
Farmers will be asked to give
information about their farms,
crops, livestock, and other items
all to be included in the 1854 Cen
sus of Agriculture.
Some of the questions to be
asked include the number and size
of farms, tenure, acreage of land
in various uses, crops harvested,
livestock inventory, and production.
Then, too, there will be questions
about expenditures for labor, ma
chinery, feed, fertilizers, lime,
petroleum fuels, and oil.
But, that isn't all. Information
will be sought about television
sets, food freezers, piped running
water, tractors, harvesting ma
chimes, automobiles, trucks, ir1iga-
ton, conservation practices, farm
value, mortgage debt, and cash
rent.
All information supplied by each
farmer is treated as strictly con-
fidential. The operations of an in
dividual farm will not be revealed.
Furthermore, the information can
not be used for taxation, regula-
ton, or investigation.
Census enumerators, in taking
their oaths of office, are sworn not
to reveal any information obtained
from farmers. The law provides
severe penalties including fines
and Imprisonment if the confiden-
tial restrictions are violated.
The Census Bureau gives assur-
ance to farmers that the informa-
ton will be compiled and published
only in statistical summaries for
each county. Thus, no individual
farm operations are disclosed.
The Bureau has established 118
temporary field offices for this
years farm census. Each office is
stated by a supervisor, assistant
supervisor, and a few clerks.
The work of about $1,000 enum-
under the leadership of
1920 crew leaders-will be super
vised from the temporary field Of
fees. Russell L. Snodgrass, Balti-
more, was named supervisor of the
field office to be established in
that city, He will direct a force of
Is crew leaders and pa enumera-
tors in Maryland's 23 counties.
