Farm Census To Be
Taken By Mail
The 1969 census of agricul
utre will be conducted entirely
by mail with no census takers
involved, Ross P. Bowen, chair-
Georgia State Agricultural
tural Stabilization and Con
servation Committee said to
day.
According to the chairman,
the Bureau of the Census has
announced that in January,
'1970, every operator of a farm
or ranch will receive a census
form by mail and will be asked
to fill it out and mail it back.
Chairman Bowen said the de
cision to use the mail method
is the latest in a series of
plans to gain efficiency and
economy by using the mails to
the greatest possible extent in
conducting all censuses.
He emphasized that the com
pleted questionnaire for each
farm, ranch or other agricul
tural operation will be comple
tely confidential. He urged all
farmers to cooperate in the
census.
The information obtained,
without names or clues to iden
tity, will be grouped in statis
tical totals and published by
counties and states as well as
for the entire Nation.
Chairman Bowen added that
in addition to the number and
acreage of farms, the agricul
tural census will ask farmers
for an estimate of values of
land and buildings, amount of
time farm operators worked
at off-farm jobs, and number
of autos, trucks, tractors, com
bines and corn pickers.
ATTENTION CALLED TO
FARM ECONOMIC
SITUATION
American farmers grow over
20 percent more products to
day than they did ten years
ago, and use 6 percent fewer
acres to do so, according to
Chairman Ross P. Bowen of the
(¢orgia State Agtricultural
Stabilization and Conservation
Committee,
He also pointed out that
while farm production was ris
ing 20 percent, farm produc
tion expenses in the same ten
year-period were going up
about 44 percent, from $25 bil
lion to $36 billion annually.
“These figures show the bind
the American farmer is in,”
said the ASC Committee Chair
man. “He has increased effici
ency, growing more products
on less land. But his costs have
gone up even faster than his
productivity.
“The farm situation today
calls for increased knowledge
and understanding by all
Americans, rural, urban, and
suburban folks alike,” Chair
man Bowen continued.
“Secretary of Agriculture
Clifford M. Hardin has com
mented several times on the
fact that inflation hits the
farmer going and coming, in
creasing his cost of production
while cheapening the dollars
left over to support his family.
“Te also said the Department
of Agriculture is determined to
recommend sound and accept
able farm programs that will
help to maintain a healthy,
productive, expanding agricul
tural economy,” said Mr. Bow
en,
“Those of us who serve on
the farmer-elected ASC com
mittees which administer farm
programs are hopeful that both
farmers and non-farmers will
study these recommendations
as they come out and lend sup
port to constructive efforts to
strengthen the farm economy:
A healthy agriculture is essen
tial to the well-being of the
Naton,” said Chairman Bowen,
