Farm Statistics Blanks Received by Assessors

i A new form of statistical report to 'be secured by the township assessors

for Indiana farms for 1919 agricultural information was being received I Monday by Wayne assessors from 'George C. Bryant, field agent of the co-operative crop reporting service for Indiana. t It Is divided into six parts and conforms very closely to the United States census agricultural schedule, except that production figures are i eliminated and only acres and num

bers are asked for on the assessors'

report.

The first part comprises only the

acreage of the farm, whether owned

or rented, and is classified according

to the use made of the land; second part asks for the acreage devoted to

(crops and is classified by cereals, hay and forage, seed, commercial truck; i small fruit and miscellaneous crops; ! the third covers ' duplicated acreage. ; The fourth part In which the greatest change is made Is devoted to live ' stock, which is in two divisions, the first showing the number of all kinds of animals on farms by age and the number of deaths from disease, the I second showing the breeding stock by j classes: part five pertains to orchards containing trees of bearing age. and part six asks a number of miscellane

ous questions regarding farm operations. The schedule Is regarded as a great

Improvement over previous efforts and coming at the same time as the United States census, it is hoped the farmers of the state will be more Interested than heretofore and where possible will preserve for the assessors the data they will give to census enumerators.
