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.
