WASHINGTON— During No-

ted States Government will be
taking a Census of Agriculture to
obtain up-to-date information a-
i bout our Nation’s agricultural re-
sources and production.
The information will give an
inventory of all farms in the Uni-
ted States, and is to show the
amount of land used for crops and
pasture, the quantity of crops
harvested, number of poultry and
livestock on farms, kinds and
equipment used, and the number
of people who live on our farms.
The Bureau of the Census is
. responsible for taking the Cen-
; sus of Agriculture, but local res-

above Crew Leaders will direct
the local census work, make ar-
rangements to enumerators, help
with unusual problems and see
that the Census in our District is
complete and accurate.
Enumerators will be selected by
the Crew Leaders and will vary
in number from 10 to 15 persons
depending upon farm population
of the county. Each enumerator
will be assigned to cover a pre-
cinct or similar geographical area.
The enumerator’s job is to find
and visit each place in his as-
signment where agricultural op-
erations occui’ and obtain inform-
ation required for the Census,
using maps and questionaires.
Enumerators must be a resident
of the rural area in which he is
assigned to work and have a
knowledge of farming and farm
operations. They must be at least

from our usual column, but we
found the Edelweiss book so in-
teresting that we want to share
part of it with you. We count the
present club members “Among
Our Friends” and feel fortunate
in having the deceased past pres-
idents, during their lifetime, “A-
mong Our Friends” of other
years.
publicity your paper gave us re-
garding the Collin County Fair.
Interest was good and our Sup-
erintendents had worked very
hard. We would have had the best
fair in years had it not been for
the flood. However, we are well
pleased and feel that the Fair
was very successful considering
the adverse weather.
Sincerely yours,
Ross Mantooth, President
Collin County Fair Board
