The farm census questionnaires were mailed in advanc of the start of the field enumeration for the purpose of giving farm operators time to consult their records and fill out the forms before the enumerators began their rounds. This procedure was planned to insure greater accuracy and to save time for both the farmer and the enumerator. Completion of the farm census on time will not only help in keeping costs down but will aid in prompt publication of the results. These goals cannot be reached, however, unless farmers assist, the supervisor pointed out, urging local farmers to fill out their questionnaires and have them ready when the enumerator calls. To date, approximately 21,000 farms have been enumerated in the 29 counties under the supervision of the locaf office. will be possible for a subscriber in Tremonton to dial directly through to any other telephone " in the United States.
