Tharaldson of the Census Bureau's regional office at Detroit. The farm census questionnaires are being mailed from Chicago, Illinois with the distribution timed so that the report forms will reach farmers about a week ahead of the date when census takers will begin the field canvass. The advance mailing is for the purpose of giving farm operators time to consult their records before filling in the answers required by the questionnaires and getting them ready for the census takers to pick up. This procedure is designed to insure great accuracy of reporting and to save time both for the fanner and the census taker when the latter calls at the farm.
