number sold and amount rccoivcd: ant

3. Dairy products: A. Quantities
and valuo of milk, butter and chooso
producod on tho farm in 1909.
B. Quantities of milk, butter, cream
butter fat and cheese sold in 1909 and
amounts received.
4. Poultry nud eggs: A. Valuo of
poultry of all kinds raised in 1909,
whether sold, consumed or on hand.
B. Amount received from poultry
sold in 1909.
C. Quantity and vnluo of eggs pro

D. Quantity and value of eggs sold in

5. Wool and mohair: Number and
total woight of fleeces shorn in 1909
and amount rccoivou from sales.
0. Crops: For each crop harvested on
tho farm in 1909 give numbor ot acres
tho quantity produced, and tho vnluo
of the products. Tho numbor of acres
of ench crop to bo planted for harvest
in 1910 will also be called for by tho
onumcrator. This cannot be determined
much before tho dnto of tho enunci
ation. Instead of giving tho number
of acres in orchards and vineyards
give as nenrly as possible tho numbo
of trees and vines of boaring age. The
quantity of certain fruit products, as
cider, vinegar, wine and dried fruits
produced in 1909 will bo required, as
will also tho quantity and value of
sugar, syrup and molasses produced
from cane, sorghum, sugar bcots and
maplo trees.
7. Sales of specified products in 1909
A considerable part of tho annual pro
duction of corn, oats, barley, kaflir corn
milo maize, hay, flax fiber and straw,
other straw, corn stalks and cotton
seed is usually consumed on tho farm
Owing to this fact, a report- will bo
asked concerning itho quantity of each
of these products sold in 1909 and tho
amounts realized therefrom.
8. Forest products: Tho valuo of all
forest products cut or produced in 1909
for farm consumption will be asked
as will also the valuo of similar prod
ucts cut or produced for sale, includ
mg receipts from the sale of standing
timber.
9. Irrigation: Farmers who irrigate
their land will bo asked to report the
source from which water is obtained,
the number of acres of pasture land
irrigated, and the total irrigated acre
age.
"This outline covers every import
ant question that will bo asked con
cerning the farm products of 1909
.American agriculture is so diversified
and so highly specialized in many of
its branches that any schedule designed
to secure a fairly complete exhibit of
its resources and operations must nes
essarily contain a large numbor of in
quirics. The avorago farm operator
will not bo called upon to answer one
seventh of the printed questions, hence
tho somewhat formidable appearanco
of tho schedule should occasion no
alarm.
"More than four months remain in
which to review the results of tho year
1909 and prepare for tho visit of the
enumerator. But preparation of
written record should be commenced at
once. No one should attempt to com
plete it in one evening, but the work
should be divided as indicated in the
above outline, ono evening being given
up to farm expenses, a second to livo
stock, a third to dairy products, and
so on through tho list. In this way
each topic can bo given the consulera
tion it deserves, and the resulting fig
ures are certain .to bo more accurate
than if compiled hastily."
