Farmers Will Help In Taking 1950 Census
U S farmers will assist the census next spring to produce a detailed 1950 count. In March 1950 mail carriers will deliver census sheets to rural boxes except six Southern states. North and South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama, Mississippi, and Louisiana receive no mail. Each enumerator will visit about 125 to 150 farms with farmers completing much of the form beforehand and the census taker finishing it. The initiative involves 45 000 rural enumerators out of 140 000, with 5 300 rural district leaders guiding the effort across multiple counties.
