Farm Census Sot During October; Values Outlined Why take a farm census? Census taking requires money and time, but turns up facts about the fast-changing busi ness of farming that makes It well worthwhile, maintains Mar ion D Thomas, Oregon State Col lege extension agricultural econ omist. The 17th nationwide farm count will start in October in Oregon. The census nrovidos a fnrtnal foundation for wise management of farms, businesses and govern ment, Thomas noted. It's our main source of county and local data, he added. Census answers such questions as: Where are Yields highest? Where Increas ing most? Where is production located? How many farms are there? How big? How much are farmers snpndinc fnr snnnlioe? K O - " . I Each farmer benefits by know ing how he stacks ud with farm. , ers all over the nation. The farm count tells him how his farm is like the average farm; how it is different. It helps him make decisions in Hcht- nf uhat hno happened in other parts of the country. The census elves farmers the same kind of information used by businesses and governmental agencies in making decisions. Public and private agencies serving farmers with informa tion, materials, transportation, credit, storage and the like all use census figures to guide their plans, the economist points out. Advertising staffs of publications and firms that make or sen farm eoods use census informa tion to determine equipment wanted In different parts of the country. The census provides facts for groups concerned with local prob lems such as best use of land and water. Figures are used in seeking public support for re search, education, health protec tion, or when disaster aid is re quested In times of drought, flood or pestilence. The govern ment uses data to plan public programs. Phone Your News Items to 6-9223 BOAT AUCTION This Coming Sunday Charlie Kite Co.
