To ’ Hold Banquet
The Women’s League held an

It was arranged to hold the

Beginning on June 1 this
year a census enumerator will
visit each of the 730,000 farms
in Canada ; to. obtain . answers to
a .series of questions about the
farm. The last census of agricul
ture for all Canada was taken in
1941 and' for the Praire Pro
vinces in 19 46. Many farmers
will therefore have had previous
experience in answering ques
tions on the agricultural shedule,
but for some it will be the first
experience,
• The schedule for 1951 has
ben s h o r t e n e d considerably.
Most of the q.nestions are
straightforward,^ such as acres
devoted to crops, numbers Of
live stock on farms, and inven
tories of equipment. Some ques
tions Will require estimates by
the farmer, such as value of his
farm, and value of the home
garden. These questions are
sometimes hard to answer but
the information is of .great value
and is needed for adequate ap
praisal of the agricultural in
dustry. Farmers will also be
asked the number of animals
sold off farms, production of
crops in 1950, and certain major
expense' items. No attempt will
be made to obtain a balance be
tween expenses and receipts; in
fact, many of the questions of
this nature have been dropped
from the 1951 scedule.
It must be emphasized that
the census enumerator is duty
bound to obtain a report about
every farm in Canada, and each
farmer is sked to co-operate by
bping prepared to give him as
accurate a statment as possibile.
Enumerators are pledged to
keep all information given them
confidential, as are also all ern-
the league kitty.
The playoff will begin
