Farm Census Is Being Taken To Estimate Crops, Livestock Need For Crop Control Program Enumerators are now in the pro cess of taking a Farm Census In Cherokee County. "All farmers are urged to cooperate 100% in this el fort to get an accurate record of the agricultural facilities of our county," says County Agent G. H. Farley. The need for accurate estimates of crops and livestock is especially emphasized by acreage allotment and control programs. Thes. pro grams can be more fairly administ ered where annual Farm Census records are available. These re cords serve as a guide where acre age allotment?, of crops under con trol are set up. "It is up to the farmers of our country to see that everything is reported so that an adequate base may be established in the event more crops are put under control." says Mr. Farley, Local agricultural leaders, many public and private agencies and farmers organizations make use of these statistics. All agricultural service agencies in the county re quire information that will enable them to develop yearly working programs. Statistics are the factual information, without which modern government cannot operate. This is especially true in time of war when our government must accur ately judge farm production capa city before it s^js farm goals and allocates scarce commodities. Farm census information was used dur ing World War 11 to prove and support' farmer's need for more farm machinery, such as tractors. On the basis o. this data, agricul tural leaders of North Carolina were able to obtain badly needed increases in farm gasoline and ma chinery allotments. Business firms in and out of North Carolina use the Farm cen sus information in determining the most desirable location for setting up new businesses primarily serv ing the farmers, such as process ing plants, marketing plants and machinery plants. The Farm Census provides a year-by-year record of county land uses, crop acreage and livestock numbers for all agencies to use in improving the economic and ag ricultural welfare of the state and Its farmers.
