The Bureau of the Census is now making preparations for the census of agriculture, which will be taken begin ning January 1. 1935, for the calendar year of 1034. This enumeration will have unusual significance, n >t only because of the devastation and havoc wrought by the drought, but because t>f the .'ha npet in f:irnu mH rn.rl.a, and in the utilization of land brought about by the distressing agricultural conditions of the last few years, ac cording to Director William L. Austin. Always considered one of the mos' important activities of the Census Bu reau since the inception of the enum eration of farm statistics in 1840, the forthcoming census of agriculture will provide more urgently needed informa tion than any of its predecessors. Aft er 1840 the farm census was taken every 10 years until 1925, when the need for local and base statistics be came so great that a mid-period or I quinquennial census was authorized. The enumeration is now inad? every five years. Although the ensus of 1935 will cover practically all of the major items of intreesj to farmers, the schedule will ask only about one-third as many ques lion in did the u nsus tllkCh in 193(1. [This scli%tule has been designed to provide for gathering the greatest a jmount of basic, information that can he assembled rapidly and tabulated in a minimum of time. The statistic are required at the earliest possible |moment so that agricultural may be assisted in going forward with other industry. Among the agencies having numer ous programs expected to remedy mal adjustments in American life that will j benefit-from the census of irgricntrurr1 (are those which have to do with acre -age?adjustments, ysubnsTence 1fohie j steads, marginal lands, land utilization, soil erosion, farm erefltt. farm Inno-jng and labor and unemployment. Of jcourse, all public works and industries are more or less influenced by agri cultural conditions and agricultural | statistics because agriculture is otic of I the great basic industries | To Hu end tliat the retisu* ma> lit* [successful, it is necessary to have th*' 'hearty cooperation of all farmers, all agricultural agencies and the business interests. J'he widest possible dis semination of information is import ant so that cvey farmer will relize the extent arid need for full ami accurate returns All farmers and ranchers are urgent ly requested to write for sample farm schedules in order that they may save time and have their records in the best possible shape when the enumer ator calls, Agricultural agencies, schools, and newspapers in closest ! touch with agriculture are asked, like j wise, to wrfte for these sample farm schedules and to give the census all possible assistance in this work. Inquiries for farm schedules or oth Icr information pertaining to the cen sus should he addressed to Bureau of the Census, Department of Commerce. 'Washington, It f ?
