NORTH CAROLINA'S AGRICUL TURAL STATISTICS. Vint Preliminary Comparative State ment ol General Farm Data liaued by the Cenau* Bureau. Washington, D. C., June 30, 1911. —Acting Census Director Falkner issued today the first offi . cial statement from the Census Bureau relative to the agricul tural statistics of the State of North Carolina collected at the Thirteenth Decennial United States Censas, April 15, 1910. It is based on a preliminary comparative summary submitted by Dr. Le Grand Powers, chief statistician of the division of ag riculture in the Bureau of the Census. This summary shows, for both the census of 1910 and that of 1900, the reported total value of farm land, buildings, and im plements and machinery; total acreage; improved acreage; aver age acres per farm; average value per acre of farm land and build ings; average value per acre of farm land alone; and the aggre gate expenditure for labor and fertilizers. It also distributes the total number of farms according to color of farmer; specified char- I actor of tenure; whether held free or mortgaged by owners; and by certain acreage groups. Attention is called to the fact that the flguros are subject to re vision later, aB a number of farms, whose returns are Incomplete, will be included in the final tables. These additions will not, in all probability, modify any of the amounts or rates contained in the present statement. The oensuß of agriculture was taken primarily for the purpose of obtaining an accurate inventory of all allies of farm property ex isting on April 15, 1010; a com plete exhibit of farm operations during the year ended December 81,1909; and a statement of the number and value of domestic animals in cities and villages on April 16, 1910. Statements relative to acreage •ad yield of crops and the domes tic animals of North Carolina will be issued by the Census Bureau as soon as the tabulation of this 1 data has been coin Dieted.
