INTRODUCTION 



This bulletin presents the larger part of the statistics of agriculture 

 for Iowa collected at the census of 1910, including all which have been 

 compiled up to the date of issue. These data, together with additional 

 information, will be later embodied in a compendium for the state and in 

 the final reports of the Thirteenth Census. In addition to the informa- 

 tion contained in this and other bulletins, the compendium and final 

 reports will give for the state as a whole data, analysis, and comparisons 

 with preceding censuses which it would not be feasible to give for the 

 individual counties. The census statistics relating to farms and farm 

 property are of the date April 15, 1910; those relating to farm operations 

 are for the calendar year 1909. All these statistics have been collected 

 and are being compiled in accordance with the provisions of section 8 of 

 the act of July 2, 1909, as follows: 



The schedules relating to agriculture shall include name, color, and 

 country of birth of occupant of each farm, tenure, acreage of farm, 

 acreage of woodland and character of timber thereon, value of farm and 

 improvements, value of farm implements, number and value of live stock 

 on farms and ranges, number and value of domestic animals not on 

 farms and ranges, and the acreage of crops planted and to be planted 

 during the year of enumeration, and the acreage of crops and the quantity 

 and value of crops and other farm products for the year ending December 

 thirty-first next preceding the enumeration. 



To assist in securing comparability for its statistics of agriculture, 

 the Bureau of the Census provided the enumerators with certain definitions
