tbooaepd onumerstors out of tbo esti
mated grand total of 66,000, will be
savaged April 16th next gathering in
the required information concerning
agriculture for the Thirteenth Decen
nial U. S. easjevj. Director Durand
norposs making every effort to aeeure
ptogiaaslvu farmers and crop npsrters
lot these pteees. Hii action is based
upon the rceomnwndation of Chief
Statistician LoGrand Powers and tbe
advisory board of apeeial agents eom
nosod of professors of economies and
farm expert who have been assisting
fn the formulation of tbo schedule of
Inquiries concerning farm operation
and equipment. It is believed that the
election of this elsss of men. already
familiar with statistical method of
securing data and reporting it in com
prehendible form, will add greatly to
efficiency of the census and to the sci
sntifie value of the Information ob
tained. Director Durand does not an
ticipate any difficulty In procuring
snumarator of this kind, as there are
hi every state of tb Union hundreds
of crop reporters acting for tbs depart
ment of agriculture, representatives of
state boards of agriculture, etc
- Tbo agricultural schedule which Is
to be placed in tb hands of these
enumerators is searing completion by
tbe census bureau. The advisory
board, who are acquainted with prae
tkal agriculture, its varying condi
tions, and who are active ia their re
spectlvo ate tee in seaiating tbs fann
ers to Improve tbslr farm methods,
have been most sarneat and no effort
is being spared to make tbe schedule
as airople as possible, and yet secure
tbe greataet amount of important in
formation concerning agriculture.
There will be but one schedule for
agriculture. There may be a small
Bcbedato for tbe enumeration of ani-
mala in cities. This will be carried by
tho city numerators and it will cover
horses, milch cows, chicken, etc.,
housed fan barns, stables, etc, in the
cities. No attempt will be made to get
the area of city gsidsna or vacant tot
cultivation.
