Part 6. — Irrigation in Humid Areas. — This cooperative report by the Agricultural Research Service of the U. S. Department of Agriculture and the Bureau of the Census will present data ob- tained by a mail survey of operators of irrigated farms in 28 States on the source of water, method of applying water, num- ber of pumps used, acres of crops irrigated in 1954 and 1955, the number of times each crop was irrigated, and the cost of irrigation equipment and the irrigation system. Part 7. — Popular Report of the 1954 Census of Agriculture. — This report is planned to be a general, easy-to-read publication for the general public on the status and broad characteristics of United States agriculture. It will seek to delineate such as- pects of agriculture as the geographic distribution and dif- ferences by size of farm for such items as farm acreage, prin- cipal crops, and important kinds of livestock, farm facilities, farm equipment, use of fertilizer, soil conservation practices, farm tenure, and farm income. Part 8. — Size of Operation by Type of Farm. — This will be a co- operative special report to be prepared in cooperation with the Agricultural Research Service of the U. S. Department of Agri- culture. This report will contain data for 119 economic sub- regions (essentially general type-of-farming areas) showing the general characteristics for each type of farm by economic class. It will provide data for a current analysis of the differences that exist among groups of farms of the same type. It will furnish statistical basis for a realistic examination of produc- tion of such commodities as wheat, cotton, and dairy products in connection with actual or proposed governmental policies and programs. VOLUME III, PART 3 ALASKA, HAWAII, PUERTO RICO, DIS- TRICT OF COLUMBIA, AND UNITED STATES POSSESSIONS CONTENTS Pas Introduction Source of data Presentation of statistics Comparability of data Alaska 3 American Samoa 13 District of Columbia 19 Guam 21 Hawaii 29 Puerto Rico 37 Virgin Islands of the United States 45 ALASKA, HAWAII, PUERTO RICO, DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, AND UNITED STATES POSSESSIONS Introduction. — This publication brings together statistics relat- ing to agricultural inventories and production for Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, District of Columbia, American Samoa, Guam, and the Virgin Islands. Wherever a choice was possible, the data for inventories represent the status near the close of 1954 while those for production are for the calendar year 1954. In this respect, they are complementary to the data gathered in the 1954 Census of Agriculture for the continental United States. Comparative data from earlier Censuses are presented for many of the items. In a few cases, pertinent data are given for an item for an earlier year when no data were available for 1954. This procedure was followed if the additional figures gave a more complete picture of the agriculture of the area. This report was prepared in accordance with the act of Congress which provides for the mid-decade Censuses of agriculture for the United States mainland. That act states, in part: "(a) The Secretary shall take, beginning in the month of October 1954, and in the same month of every tenth year there- after, a census of agriculture. The census provided for by this section shall include each State, but, except as provided iii sub- section (b) of this section, shall not include the District of Colum- bia, Alaska, Hawaii, Puerto Rico, or such other areas or terri- tory over which the United States exercises sovereignty or jurisdiction. "(b) As to the areas excluded from the census provided for in subsection (a) of this section, the data available from various Government sources shall be included as an appendix to the report of such census." Source of data. — As just mentioned, the act of Congress, while excluding these specified areas from the 1954 Census of Agriculture, provided that the data available for these areas from various Government sources should be brought together and published. Therefore, early in 1955 a request was made by the Director of the Census to an official source — Experiment Station, Depart- ment of Agriculture, or Governor — to obtain all available data similar to those collected in previous periodic Censuses. As an example, the two significant paragraphs in the request made to the Director of the Agricultural Experiment Station in Alaska are quoted verbatim: "The act of Congress providing for the 1954 Census of Agriculture specifies that enumeration is to be conducted only in the continental United States, but that data available for Alaska and some other areas from 'various government sources shall be included as an appendix to the report of such census.' "Accordingly, we would like to receive from you any avail- able data for Alaska similar to those collected for the periodic censuses of agriculture. We would appreciate it very much if you could provide for our report the available data for 1954 indicated in the enclosed tables for Alaska. We would also like to have a statement explaining how the data for 1954 were collected and compiled." The statistics shown in this volume were compiled from the responses to these letters and, in a limited degree, from other published reports of agriculture for these areas. A more detailed account of the source of data and how they were collected may be found in the introductory text for each area. Presentation of statistics. — Each area, for which statistics are presented in this report, is treated as an entity. It's statistics are apart from those of other areas. There are no totals for all the areas as a group. For ease of reference, the areas have been arranged in alphabetical sequence. In the case of Alaska and Guam data are presented for sub- divisions of the area; both judicial divisions and geographic areas for Alaska, and municipalities for Guam. Percentages and averages have been utilized to make the information more useful. Comparability of data. — The comparability of the data for an area is affected by the period of the year in which the enumeration or survey was made; the definition of a farm; and the number and the wording of the questions. The method used in obtaining agricultural information also has a direct bearing on the com- parability of data. The most recent information was obtained partly by mail, partly by personal interview, and partly by esti- mation. Some information is presented regarding these factors in the discussion for each area.

In reply to the Bureau's letter for available statistics for Alaska, an official of the Agricultural Experiment Station replied to the effect that a series of publica- tions on annual agricultural production for key items had been initiated in 1953. The procedure for obtaining the statistics for 1954 and 1953 in Alaska encompassed a mailed questionnaire to all persons known to be engaged in any agriculture. About 25 percent of the reports are obtained in this manner. For those who did not reply, a personal visit was made to all commercial farmers and to as many others as time and personnel permitted. It is estimated that 98 percent of the commercial production and 90 percent of all pro- duction in Alaska is recorded by these two procedures. The final published figures were weighted by the judgment of produce inspectors and economists based on the nature of the replies received and the specialized knowledge these men had of market- ings and supplies. Two reports were furnished to the Census Bureau by these Territorial Agencies. Each was entitled, Agricultural Produc- tion— Alaska. One was designated as the 1953 report and the other as the 1954 report. The 1953 report covered the amount and value of agricultural production for the calendar year 1953 but contained a few livestock inventory items as of January 1, 1954. The 1954 report, in less detail, related to the year subse- quent to the 1953 report. For publication, in this Census report it was decided to use the same time reference as was used in the publications received from Alaska. Since the 1953 Alaska report gives information in more detail than the 1954 report, data are given herein from both. For 1953 the data for the Matanuska Valley, the Anchorage Area, and the Tanaua Valley were based on personal interviews. These three geographic areas contributed nearly 80 percent of the total income from farm sales. Data for other areas were estimates based on returned mail questionnaires and other information. The number of contacts in each area upon which the data for 1953 were based is as follows: Area Number of contacts ' 353 reporting farms or farmers. 48 reporting farms. 225 reporting farmers. 3 23 reporting farmers. 3 35 reporting farmers. 5 reporting farmers. * 17 reporting farmers. 1 As given ill Alaska published information. 3 Additional information obtained from informed sources. a Estimates based on available records for an additional 23 rural families. * Estimates based on available information for the remaining farm operations. For the following year, 1954, the data for Matanuska Valley and the Anchorage area were obtained by mail questionnaires and personal interviews. Data for all other areas were estimates based on returned mail questionnaires, personal interviews, and other information gathered during 1954. Censuses of Agriculture. — The data given for years prior to 1953 are from the perodic Censuses of Agriculture taken by the Bureau of the Census. The first United States Census of Agricul- ture of Alaska was taken in 1900 as part of the Twelfth Decennial Census. Since that date a Census of Agriculture has been taken in conjunction with the Census of Population in decennial enumera- tion. These Census enumerations furnished some information which is not obtainable from the available statistics for 1954 and 1953. A part of this information for these earlier Censuses, such as the number of farms and the acreage of land in farms, is given below. Farms number. Land in farms aeres. 1960 (Apr. 1) 525 421,799 1939 (Oct. 1) 625 1,775,752 1929 (Oct. 1) 1920 (Jan. 1) 500 525, 942 364 90, 652 1910 (Jan. I) 222 42,544 1900 (June 1) 12 159 Presentation of statistics. — Only limited comparisons are pos- sible between the data for 1954 and 1953 on the one hand and the data for 1950 and earlier Censuses on the other. In the 1950 and earlier Censuses, statistics conformed to judicial division bound- aries. Data for 1954 and 1953 were published by geographic areas. Only a few of the comparative data are presented herein, for all years. This historical series is given only for the Territory. A more extended comparison is made for 1954 and 1950, by judicial divisions. A full presentation is made of all available data for 1954 and 1953, by geographic areas. For this report, in order to make subdivision comparisons, it was necessary to assemble the 1954 data for geographic areas by judicial divisions. Southeastern Alaska, for which data are presented for 1954 and 1953, includes Judicial Division 1 and a part of Judicial Division 3. The part of Judicial Division 3 included is Valdez and the area to the South. Therefore, in considering Southeastern Alaska statistics as representative of Judicial Division 1, an overstate- ment is made to the extent that the Valdez area is included. Likewise, the 1954 and 1953 statistics, which are presented to represeut Judicial Division 3, are understated to the extent that the Valdez area is exluded. Thus, if there were any items produced in appreciable amounts in the Valdez area, data for these two Divisions are affected accordingly. The geographic areas which were combined to compare with each judicial division are as follows: Judicial Geographic area division Southeastern Alaska 1 Tanana Valley ' 2, t Matanuska Valley ~| Anchorage Area I , Kenai Peninsula [ Kodiak and Aleutian Islands J ' For the 1950 Census, the data for these two divisions were combined. Livestock and livestock products. — The classification of live- stock by age and sex for the recent years has been made on a different basis than for former years. The major part of the 7 8 SPECIAL REPORTS change has been to differentiate between dairy and beef animals. Because of the varying classes, a comparison of inventory numbers only has been made for all years for which data are available. These data are shown in Table 1.

The judicial division comparisons of data for livestock and live- stock products are restricted to 2 years. These are shown in Table 2. The numbers of livestock on hand were taken from the 1954 Alaska report (inventories as of Jan. 1, 195.5) and from the 1950 Census report (inventories as of Apr. 1, 1950). Since the subclasses of cattle are not comparable for the two periods of observation, no attempt has been made to show data for cows, heifers, calves, etc., by judicial divisions. The quantities of products and income data were obtained from the same sources but cover the calendar years 1954 and 1949, respectively. Table 3 presents all livestock data contained in the 1954 and 1953 reports submitted by Alaska official sources. The available figures are given by geographic areas, not by judicial divisions. According to these reports milk was the most important source of farm income. In 1954, milk accounted for 47 percent of the total farm income. Of the total milk production, 67 percent came from the Matanuska Valley, 16 percent from the South- eastern area, 7 percent from the Tanana Valley, and 10 percent from all other areas. All areas except Southeastern Alaska showed substantial increases from 1953 to 1954.

They contributed about 15 percent of the total in 1954 and 13 percent in 1953. Both milk and potatoes ranked above poultry products as sources of farm income. According to the 1954 Alaska report, "The disastrously low statewide egg prices were responsible for lower egg prices in Alaska. Production of local eggs increased 25 percent, however, over 1953. The most severe price competition occurred during the latter part of the year and carried into 1955. Broiler and fryer production was down considerably in 1954."

According to the 1954 Alaska report there were 13,215 acres of cropland in the Territory, which was 881 acres in excess of the 1953 total of 12,334 acres. Much of this increase can be at- tributed to 1,038 acres cleared in 1953. In 1954, an additional 1,035 acres were cleared. Feed crops, mostly forage, and potatoes and vegetables com- prised nearly all the crops grown in the Territory. Potato sales were the second important source of farm income, furnishing about one-third of the total farm income in 1953. Reduced plantings in 1954 and slightly lower yields resulted in a production 30 percent less than in 1953. Actual sales were off not more than 10 percent. Decreased disease loss and improved storage were the principal factors in maintaining sales when production de- clined. In 1954, 52 percent came from the Matanuska Valley, 33 percent from the Tanana Valley, 11 percent from the Anchorage area, and 4 percent from all other areas. Lettuce, carrots, and cabbage were, by far, the most important vegetables grown. Vegetable acreage was approximately the same for the two years but the production for 1954 brought 13 percent less due to lower prices.

Data are shown, for both 1954 and 1953, by geographic areas and for farm use and commercial production. The commercial production is further subdivided into income from vegetables and from livestock sales. There is no clear indication, in the available statistics, that any crops other than vegetables were sold. For example, in the sta- tistics for 1954, "Other produce" was listed under vegetables, which could refer to miscellaneous vegetables or possibly to non- vegetable crops. The value of agricultural production for all of Alaska in 1954 differed only slightly from that in 1953 with the Southeastern Alaska area showing the greatest variation, an increase of over 40 percent. The value of products used on the farm in 1954 was estimated at 8 percent of the commercial production for that year. Matanuska Valley, with 54.7 percent of agricultural production for farm use in 1954 and 64.9 percent in 1953, was the most im- portant producing area. This area also led in commercial produc- tion (production for sale) with 54.7 percent of the Territorial total in 1954 and 55.3 percent in 1953.

For 1954 and 1953, no mention was made as to the date of the mailing of questionnaires, the date of the interviews, or to the minimum for area or production to be reported. In reference to the minimum area or amount of pro- duction for enumeration, the following statement, applying to 1954, was contained in the reply to the Bureau's request for avail- able information: "Our procedure encompasses a mailed ques- tionnaire to all persons known to be engaged in any agriculture." Since the production data for 1954 are presented with the matching inventories as of January 1, 1955, and since these data were furnished to the Bureau shortly after July 1, 1955, it seems safe to assume that the data were gathered shortly after January 1. For the 1950 Census of Agriculture a farm was any place with either 3 or more acres and $150 or more of agricultural products or less than 3 acres, provided the value of sales of agricultural products amounted to $150 or more. Places that did not meet these minimum requirements were considered farms only if they had sufficient potential to meet these minima. The Census enumerators were not required to determine which places were farms. They were instructed to enumerate all places that the operator called farms, all places of 3 or more acres, and certain specialized operations, such as greenhouses. The de- termination as to which operations constituted farms was made during the office processing in Washington. For 1950, the Census of Agriculture was taken as of April 1 of that year. Most of the farms were enumerated in April and May. Inventory items relate to April 1; data on acreage, production, and sales to the crop year 1949. The classification of livestock by age and sex for 1954 (January 1, 1955) varies somewhat from that used in 1950. The differing classifications are indicated in the tables presenting livestock data. The method of reporting crops also varied. This is indicated more fully in the several crop tables.

The nature of the data desired was indicated in a set of tables furnished by the Census Bureau. In the reply to the Bureau's request, it was stated that the available data did not fit well into the outline that had been fur- nished. The following statement was contained in the corre- spondence: "In many cases our estimate base is radically different from yours. For example, our crop values are calculated at the wholesale level — yours at the farm level. Our poultry and hog population estimates do not include those kept principally for the owner's household use." A copy of the annual report entitled "1954 Statistics of Hawaiian Agriculture" was submitted. This and a similar report for 1955 have supplied the most recent factual material given in this section. The 1954 report sets forth the source of the statistics and several of their limitations, as follows: "The statistics of production and value in this publication relate principally to 'diversified' agriculture, diversified being used in the sense of nonplantation crops. Statistical material on the two plantation crops, sugar and pineapples, was furnished by the Hawaiian Sugar Planters' Association and the Pineapple Companies of Hawaii. "Data on diversified agriculture are for 'commercial' produc- tion, which excludes very small farm enterprises, some of the minor crops, and products consumed on farms. A few crops for which production or acreage data are unreliable, e. g., Chinese squash, Chinese peas, yam bean root, peanuts, mangoes, lychee, passion fruit, guavas, plums, grapes, persimmons, and pineapples for the fresh fruit market are not included. Com- mercial production of livestock products is defined as the portion originating from beef cattle herds of 20 or more head, dairy and swine herds of 10 or more, and poultry flocks of 100 or more layers or meat birds. "Basic livestock data are collected in August or December by mailed questionnaires and enumeration by county agents. Monthly estimates of dairy, poultry, and hog production are obtained from stratified samples of enterprises, supplemented by slaughter records. Production of fruits and vegetables is estimated from recorded wholesale marketings, adjusted for direct sales to retail stores or to consumers, and for field losses of mature crops resulting from market gluts. Coffee, rice, and taro production is estimated from milling records. Acreage of diversified crops is obtained by monthly enumeration." Censuses of agriculture. — The first Census of Agriculture in Hawaii, by the United States, was taken in 1900 in conjunction with the Decennial Census of Population. Since 1900, a Census of Agriculture has been taken in conjunction with the Census of Population in each decennial enumeration. Because of the restricted comparability of the available data for Census years with the statistics for recent years, only a few items are included in the historical tables. In order to understand the limitations in the comparability of the data for the two series, the definition of a farm, as used in 1950 only, is given herein. If there is need for contrasting the exact comparability of data for 1950 and earlier years, reference should be made to the 1950 Report for this Territory. For the 1950 Census of Agriculture, places of 3 or more acres were counted as farms if the value of agricultural products in 1949, exclusive of home gardens, amounted to $150 or more. The agri- cultural products could have been either for home use or for sale. Places of less than 3 acres were counted as farms only if the value of sales of agricultural products in 1949 amounted to $150 or more. Places operated in 1949 for which the value of agricultural products in 1949 was less than these minima because of crop failure or other unusual situation and places operated in 1950 for the first time were counted as farms if normally they could be expected to produce these minimum quantities of farm products. All the land under the control of one person or partnership was included as one farm. Control may have been through owner- ship, or through lease or rental arrangement. The Census enumerator was not given the definition of a farm. He was instructed to obtain an agriculture questionnaire for every place that the operator considered a farm, for every place of 3 or more acres whether or not it was considered a farm, and for places of less than 3 acres from which agricultural products (vegetables, flowers, orchids, eggs, poultry, hogs, etc.) valued at $100 or more were sold in 1949. Thus, agriculture questionnaires were filled for more places than those that qualified as farms. The determi- nation as to which reports were to be included in the tabulations as representing farms was made during the processing of the questionnaires in Washington. This procedure was followed in order that uniform criteria could be applied. Land utilization. — Table 1 is presented to show the natural re- sources available for agricultural production and how these resources were utilized in 1954 and 1950.

Livestock and poultry. — Comparative figures for livestock and poultry, for 1954 and for Census enumerations, are given in Table 2 for a limited number of items. The 1954 data are for the dates shown in Table 3. Table 4 presents a few of the data for Islands for 1954 only. Crops. — Tables 5, 6, and 7 present the data for crops. W ere possible, the acreage, production, and the wholesale value of marketings are given. Whenever historical data are shown, footnotes have been used to point out any seeming lack of com- parability. Historical comparisons and the distribution of data by Islands are limited to those crops with approximately 200 acres or more. Honey and beeswax are included with crops to conform with the statistics in the 1954 Report. Likewise, the order of arrange- ment and the classification of the crops are consistent with those in the 1954 Report. 33 34 SPECIAL REPORTS Table 2. — Specified Livestock and Livestock Products: 1900 to 1954 Item Horses and mules on hand number.

In the Department's transmittal, the Commissioner stated: "Since we have not yet been able to collect such statistical data * * *, I have had to depend entirely upon the kind cooperation of the Virgin Islands Corporation and the Federal Experiment Station for such information as they collected during the last four-year period." Censuses of agriculture. — The figures given in the tables for this report for 1950, 1940, 1930, and 1917 are from the Censuses of Agriculture taken under the supervision of the United States Bureau of the Census. The first United States Census of Agri- culture of the Virgin Islands was taken in 1917, a special Census authorized by the Secretary of Commerce. The next Census was taken in 1930 in conjunction with the Census of Population. A Census of Agriculture was also taken in 1940 and 1950 in conjunc- tion with the Censuses of Population. The questionnaire used for the Census of Population contained one inquiry which was designed to help the enumerator to obtain an agriculture questionnaire for every place for which one was required. The inquiry read: "Is this house on a farm?" This inquiry was to be answered for every family. If the reply to this question was "Yes," the enumerator was to fill an agriculture questionnaire for the place. He was instructed to fill an agri- culture questionnaire for every farm, for every place of 3 or more acres whether or not it was considered a farm, and for every place of less than 3 acres on which agricultural products valued at $100 or more were produced in 1949, whether or not it was considered a farm. For the 1950 Census of Agriculture, places, regardless of size, were counted as farms if the value of agricultural products in 1949, exclusive of home gardens, amounted to $100 or more. The agricultural products could have been either for home use or for sale. Places operated in 1949, for which the value of agricultural products in 1949 was less than this minimum because of crop failure or other unusual situation, and places operated in 1950 or 1949 for the first time were counted as farms if normally they could be expected to produce these minimum quantities of farm products. The Census enumerator was not given the definition of a farm. He was instructed to obtain an agriculture questionnaire for every place that the operator considered a farm, for every place of 3 or more acres whether or not it was considered a farm, and for every place of less than 3 acres if the agricultural products pro- duced in 1949 were valued at $100 or more. Thus, agriculture questionnaires were filled for more places than those that qualified as farms. The determination as to which reports were to be in- cluded in the tabulations as representing farms was made during the processing of the questionnaires in Washington. The 1950 Census of Agriculture was taken as of April 1, 1950. Inventory items relate to approximately that date. Data on acreage of crops and quantity harvested are for the crop year 1949. The special Census of 1917 was taken as of November 1. Inventory items relate to November 1 and production items relate to the year ended October 31, 1917. Presentation of statistics. — Data are presented only for the area, as a whole. Comparative data are usually given for all Cen- sus enumerations.
