Statewide farm census proposal drawn out in hearing
Proponents urge a $20,000 census funded to survey over 400 000 farms with four cent pay per farm for county assessors. Estimates show $18 750 needed for survey work and $1 250 for compiling and printing. The plan relies on single sources to compile multiple farms and uses government franked dissemination to avoid postage costs. The Agriculture Department opposes directing funds there, noting current staff will handle support. Supporters argue data would aid commercial and civic groups and help location decisions in new territories. Returns from the 1929 U S Census are incomplete and late, underscoring need for timely farm condition data for the crop reporting service.
