A Farm Census in the Kueal Schools 000 



7 The names of the owners of all the articles enumerated on the 

 blank should be reported by the enumerator in order to check up 

 the result carefully. Preserve these reports for reference. 



8 As reports are made by the enumerators, enter them under 

 the proper headings on the blackboard. When complete reports 

 have been received, make footing and enter the totals upon the 

 census blanks. 



9 If there are portions of two or more counties in your district, 

 make returns separately for each county as the county will be the 

 unit in the complete report. 



10. Fill out and forward the census blank to the district super- 

 intendent of schools by March 1, or as soon thereafter as possible. 



11 Keep on file in the district a copy of the complete report. 

 It will be interesting to know the changes occurring from year to 

 year. 



12 In case it is impossible to collect the data within a reason- 

 able time, notify the district superintendent in order that some one 

 may be designated to carry on the work. 



13 Two blanks have been sent to each school. If they are 

 needed, additional blanks may be secured from the State Depart- 

 ment of Agriculture, at Albany.

 THE FARM CENSUS 



A large number of school districts of the state have made very 

 prompt response to the request for cooperation in obtaining a farm 

 census of the state. Reports that have been received show pains- 

 taking care in collecting and reporting the information. The 

 result so far is gratifying. 



A few superintendents, principals, and teachers have written to 

 ask if the farai census is supposed to cover villages and small 

 cities. It is intended that the enumeration shall be made in these 

 places. Where necessary, the Department of Agriculture will 

 assist in making these enumerations. 



The Commissioner of Agriculture assures superintendents, prin- 

 cipals and teachers that they may make emphatic denial of any 

 statement indicating that this census has anything whatever to do 

 with the present of any future rate of taxation.
