D C Mumford, OSC agricultural
economist, stressed the impor
tance of the farm census to each
farmer. As farms become larger,
the individual farm becomes
more important to the total farm
ing picture. This makes it de

Since statistics obtained from
the farm census are only as true
as each farmer's records, the
economists urged Oregon farm
ers to keep accurate records. This
will enable them to answer farm
census questions easily and In
telligently. Simple records of production,
sales and major expenses dur
ing the year will be helpful.
Census enumerators will ask a
variety of questions relating to
three general areas: a count of
farm resources, a record of farm
products produced and sold In
1959, and other farming activ
