PREFACE 


Volume  I,  Counties  and  State  Economic  Areas,  is  one  of  the  three  principal  reports 
presenting  the  results  of  the  1954  Census  of  Agriculture.  This  volume,  in  33  parts,  pre- 
sents the  compilation  of  the  information  given  by  farm  operators  to  Census  enumerators 
in  1954. 

The  1954  Census  of  Agriculture  was  taken  in  conformity  with  the  Act  of  Congress 
(Title  13,  United  States  Code)  approved  August  31,  1954,  which  includes  provisions  for 
the  mid-decade  censuses  of  agriculture. 

The  collection  of  the  data  was  carried  out  by  Census  enumerators  directed  by  super- 
visors appointed  by  the  Director  of  the  Census  and  working  under  the  direction  of  Jack  B. 
Robertson,  then  Chief,  Field  Division.  Ernest  R.  Underwood,  then  special  Assistant  to  the 
Director,  was  responsible  for  the  recruitment  of  the  field  staff.  The  planning  of  the  census 
and  the  compilation  of  the  statistics  were  supervised  by  Ray  Hurley,  Chief,  Agriculture 
Division,  and  Warder  B.  Jenkins,  Assistant  Chief.  They  were  assisted  by  Hilton  E. 
Robison,  Orvin  L.  Wilhite,  Hubert  L.  Collins,  Benjamin  J.  Tepping,  Lois  Hutchison, 
Carl  R.  Nyman,  J.  Thomas  Breen,  Robert  S.  Overton,  Merton  V.  Lindquist,  Russell  V. 
Oliver,  Charles  F.  Frazier,  Gladys  L.  Eagle,  Orville  M.  Slye,  Gaylord  G.  Green,  Harold  N. 
Cox,  and  Henry  A.  Tucker. 

Acknowledgment  is  made  of  the  technical  assistance  and  the  loan  of  technical 
personnel  by  the  United  States  Department  of  Agriculture  in  the  planning,  the  enumera- 
tion, and  the  compilation  of  the  1954  Census  of  Agriculture.

Agriculture.  It  will  present  statistics  for  approximately  900 
counties  and  State  economic  areas  in  12  Southern  States  and 
Missouri  for  the  number  and  characteristics  of  multiple-unit 
operations  and  farms  in  multiple  units. 

Part  2. — Ranking  Agricultural  Counties.  This  special  report  will 
present  statistics  for  selected  items  of  inventory  and  agricul- 
tural production  for  the  leading  counties  in  the  United  States. 

Part  3. — Alaska,  Hawaii,  Puerto  Rico,  District  of  Columbia,  and 
TJ.  S.  Possessions.  These  areas  were  not  included  in  the  1954 
Census  of  Agriculture.  The  available  current  data  from  vari- 
ous Government  sources  will  be  compiled  and  published  in 
this  report. 

Part  4. — Agriculture,  1954,  a  Graphic  Summary.  This  report  will 
present  graphically  some  of  the  significant  facts  regarding 
agriculture  and  agricultural  production  as  revealed  by  the  1954 
Census  of  Agriculture. 

Part  5. — Farm-mortgage  Debt.  This  will  be  a  cooperative  study 
by  the  Agricultural  Research  Service  of  the  U.  S.  Department 
of  Agriculture  and  the  Bureau  of  the  Census.  It  will  present, 
by  States,  data  based  on  the  1954  Census  of  Agriculture  and  a 
special  mail  survey  to  be  conducted  in  January  1956,  on  the 
number  of  mortgaged  farms,  the  amount  of  mortgage  debt,  and 
the  amount  of  debt  held  by  principal  lending  agencies. 


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  2S 
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, 
principal  crops,  and  important  kinds  of  livestock,  farm  facili- 
ties, farm  equipment,  use  of  fertilizer,  soil  conservation  prac- 
tices, farm  tenure,  and  farm  income. 

Part  8. — Size  of  Operation  by  Type  of  Farm.  This  will  be  a  coop- 
erative 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.

INTRODUCTION 


This  report  presents  data  relating  to  the  agriculture  of  the 
United  States  based  on  the  most  recent  census  of  agriculture 
taken  in  the  fall  of  1954.  The  tables  also  include  some  compara- 
tive data  from  earlier  censuses. 

History  and  legal  basis. — The  current  census  extends  the  num- 
ber of  nationwide  agricultural  censuses  to  16.  Initially,  an  agri- 
cultural enumeration  was  taken  in  conjunction  with  the  Decen- 
nial Census  of  Population  in  1840.  Congress  first  provided  for 
a  mid-decennial  census  for  the  year  1915;  however,  abnormalities 
created  by  World  War  I  prevented  the  taking  of  this  census. 
Since  1920,  a  national  agricultural  census  has  been  taken  each 
five  years. 

The  1954  Census  of  Agriculture  was  authorized  by  an  Act  of 
Congress  approved  June  18,  1929,  and  amended  July  16,  1952. 
Section  16  of  the  Act,  as  amended,  reads  as  follows :  "That  there 
shall  be  taken,  beginning  in  the  month  of  October  1954,  and  in  the 
same  month  of  every  tenth  year  thereafter,  a  census  of  agri- 
culture. The  census  herein  provided  for  shall  include  each  State, 
but  shall  not  include  the  District  of  Columbia,  Alaska,  Hawaii, 
Puerto  Rico,  or  such  other  areas  or  territories  over  which  tbe 
United  States  exercises  sovereignty  or  jurisdiction:  Provided, 
however,  that  as  to  the  areas  excluded  from  such  census  it  is 
directed  that  data  available  from  various  Government  sources 
shall  be  included  as  an  appendix  to  the  report  of  such  census. 
The  Secretary  of  Commerce  is  authorized  to  collect  such  prelimi- 
nary or  supplementary  statistics,  either  in  advance  of,  or  after 
the  taking  of  such  census,  as  are  necessary  to  the  initiation, 
taking,  or  completion  thereof.  The  inquiries,  and  the  number, 
form,  and  subdivisions  thereof  for  the  census  provided  for  in 
this  section  shall  be  determined  by  the  Secretary  of  Commerce." 
The  initial  appropriation  for  map  preparation,  field  enumera- 
tion, and  a  part  of  the  office  processing  was  obtained  under  this 
authority.  Subsequently,  the  Congress,  in  a  code  revision  ap- 
proved August  31,  1954,  incorporated  the  provisions  for  all  cen- 
suses in  a  code  which  may  be  cited  as  "Title  13,  United  States 
Code." 

The  request  for  funds  for  fiscal  year  1954  included  funds  for 
preparatory  work  for  a  complete  census  of  agriculture  to  be 
taken  in  the  fall  of  1954.  This  request  was  not  approved  by 
the  Congress.  However,  a  limited  appropriation  was  made  for 
exi>enses  for  "spot  checking  business,  manufactures,  and  agri- 
culture in  such  manner  as  the  Secretary  of  Commerce  should 
decide  to  be  most  helpful  and  informative  to  said  undertakings." 
Since  one  of  the  important  uses  of  quinquennial  agricultural 
census  statistics  is  to  serve  as  a  benchmark  for  the  annual  esti- 
mates of  production  and  inventories  prepared  by  the  United 
States  Department  of  Agriculture,  the  assumption  was  made  that 
a  "spot  check"  should  provide  reliable  totals  for  a  limited  number 
of  items  by  States  and  major  producing  areas.  Accordingly,  a 
sample  census  was  conducted  as  a  pretest  of  procedures  in  Utah 
and  Virginia,  beginning  in  October  1953.  These  surveys  are 
more  fully  described  in  separate  reports  for  those  two  States, 
published  in  1954. 

Congress,  in  an  appropriation  Act  approved  July  2,  1954,  appro- 
priated $16,000,000  for  the  expenses  necessary  for  taking,  com- 
piling, and  publishing  the  1954  Census  of  Agriculture,  as  author- 
ized by  law.  Additional  funds,  amounting  to  $5,500,000,  were 
appropriated  in  1955  in  order  to  complete  the  work  on  the  1954 
Census. 

Plan  of  presentation  of  statistics. — This  report  follows  the  same 
general  plan  of  presentation  as  that  for  1950,  the  last  complete 


census  of  agriculture.  The  report  is  a  part  of  Volume  1  which 
comprises  33  reports.  Each  part  of  Volume  I  presents  the  data 
for  each  county  and  each  State  economic  area  for  one  or  more 
States  as  well  as  State  totals  for  those  States  for  which  county 
and  State  economic  area  data  are  shown.  Statistics  are  most 
revealing  when  comparisons  are  available.  Therefore,  compa- 
rable data  gathered  in  the  1950  Census  of  Agriculture  are  given 
for  counties  and  for  State  economic  areas.  Comparative  data  for 
the  States  are  given  for  each  successive  census  year  beginning 
with  1920.  However,  for  some  items,  the  data  obtained  in  1954 
are  the  only  ones  available. 

The  tables  provide  totals  for  counties  for  nearly  all  items  for 
which  information  was  obtained  in  the  1954  Census.  However,, 
most  data  by  economic  class  of  farm,  type  of  farm,  and  color  and 
tenure  of  farm  operator  are  presented  only  for  State  economic 
areas.  State  economic  areas  represent  groupings  of  counties 
within  a  State.  Outside  of  metropolitan  areas,  the  State  economic 
areas  are,  in  general,  the  same  as  State  type-of -farming  areas. 
(A  description  of  State  economic  areas  is  given  in  a  Special  Re- 
port of  the  1950  Census-,  entitled  "State  Economic  Areas :  A  De- 
scription of  the  Procedure  Used  in  Making  a  Functional  Grouping 
of  the  Counties  in  the  United  States.")  A  map  showing  the 
State  economic  areas  is  shown  at  the  beginning  of  Chapter  C  of 
this  report. 

The  Act  of  Congress  excluded  from  the  field  enumeration  the 
agriculture  in  Alaska,  Hawaii,  Puerto  Rico,  District  of  Columbia, 
and  U.  S.  possessions.  Available  statistics,  obtained  from  other 
sources,  for  these  areas  are  included  in  Part  3  of  Volume  III. 

Data  for  most  of  the  items  included  in  the  1954  Census  of  Agri- 
culture, as  in  prior  censuses,  were  tabulated  for  "minor  civil 
divisions"  or  areas  smaller  than  counties.  The  term  "minor  civil 
division"  is  applied  to  the  primary  subdivisions  of  the  counties. 
These  may  be  townships,  precincts,  districts,  independent  muni- 
cipalities, unorganized  territory,  etc.  The  figures  for  these 
smaller  areas  are  not  included  in  any  of  the  regular  reports. 
However,  it  is  possible  to  obtain  data  for  small  geographic  areas, 
as  heretofore,  by  paying  the  cost  of  checking  the  data  and  pre- 
paring the  necessary  statistical  tables. 

Prior  to  the  1954  Census,  an  enumeration  district  did  not  in- 
clude more  than  one  minor  civil  division,  even  though  the  town- 
ship, precinct,  or  the  like  often  did  not  have  enough  farms  to 
provide  a  full  workload  for  an  enumerator.  The  aim  in  estab- 
lishing the  1954  enumeration  districts  was  to  make  them  lame 
enough  to  keep  each  enumerator  fully  occupied  in  his  area  for  a 
thiee-week,  or  possibly  a  four-week,  period.  Hence,  some  enumer- 
ation districts  included  more  than  one  minor  civil  division.  Such 
combined  minor  divisions  were  always  adjacent.  An  enumera- 
tion district  never  comprised  the  whole  of  one  minor  civil  division 
and  a  part  of  another  nor  a  part  of  two  or  more  minor  civil 
divisions.  A  minor  civil  division  which  included  too  many  farms 
for  one  enumerator  was  divided  into  two  or  more  enumeration 
districts. 

The  tabulations,  as  made  by  machines,  in  some  cases  provided 
totals  for  a  single  minor  civil  division — even  though  that 
required  a  grouping  of  enumeration  districts — nnd,  in  other 
cases,  they  provided  totals  for  two  or  more  minor  civil  divisions 
combined.  In  the  latter  instance,  the  small-area  data  will  be 
readily  available  only  for  combined  totals  for  adjoining  minor 
civil  divisions.  If  there  is  need  for  makiug  a  separation  of  the 
data  for  such  combinations,  this  is  possible  at  some  additional

UNITED  STATES  CENSUS  OF  AGRICULTURE:  1954 


cost,  since  each  questionnaire  contains  the  nauie  of  the  minor 
civil  division  in  which  the  farm  headquarters  was  located. 

Operations  for  1954  Census. — The  Act  providing  for  the  1954 
Census  of  Agriculture  states  that  "the  inquiries,  and  the  number, 
form,  and  subdivision  thereof  .  .  .  shall  be  determined  by  the 
Secretary  of  Commerce."  The  staff  of  the  Bureau  of  the  Census 
prepared  the  questionnaire  for  the  1954  Census  of  Agriculture 
on  the  basis  of  experience  obtained  in  prior  censuses,  on  the 
basis  of  an  analysis  of  the  sample  survey  for  the  States  of  Utah 
and  Virginia  for  the  calendar  year  1953,  and  on  the  basis  of  the 
advice  of  a  Special  Advisory  Committee  for  the  1954  Census  of 
Agriculture.  The  Advisory  Committee  comprised  representatives 
of  the  U.  S.  Department  of  Agriculture,  State  Agricultural  Col- 
leges, State  Departments  of  Agriculture,  The  American  Farm 
Economic  Association,  The  American  Statistical  Association,  The 
Association  of  Land-Grant  Colleges  and  Universities,  The  Agri- 
cultural Publishers  Association,  The  Farm  Equipment  Institute, 
The  American  Farm  Bureau  Federation,  The  National  Grange, 
The  National  Council  of  Farmers'  Cooperatives,  and  the  Farmers' 
Educational  and  Cooperative  Union  of  America. 

The  Special  Advisory  Committee  had  also  assisted  in  deciding 
the  inquiries  to  be  included  on  the  questionnaire  for  the  1953 
Sample  Census  for  Utah  and  Virginia.  During  the  planning, 
State  Agricultural  Colleges,  the  U.  S.  Department  of  Agriculture, 
and  other  major  users  of  data  from  the  census  of  agriculture  were 
asked  to  submit  suggested  inquiries  for  the  census.  The  number 
of  inquiries  recommended  greatly  exceeded  the  number  that 
could  be  included  in  the  census.  The  Special  Advisory  Com- 
mittee and  the  staff  of  the  Bureau  recommended  the  inclusion 
or  exclusion  of  these  inquiries  after  giving  consideration  to  the 
possibilities  of  obtaining  the  information  in  some  way  other  than 
through  the  census  of  agriculture,  to  the  adequacy  of  the  informa- 
tion that  might  be  secured  in  the  census,  to  the  availability  of 
data  from  other  sources,  and  to  the  usefulness  of  the  data,  etc. 
This  committee  reviewed  the  plans  and  questionnaires  for  the 
1953  sample  enumeration  and  the  1954  Census  of  Agriculture  as 
they  were  developed,  and  submitted  recommendations  regarding 
these  plans  and  questionnaires. 

The  content  of  the  21  regional  questionnaires  (one  for  each 
State  or  group  of  adjacent  States)  was  similar  to  that  of  the 
questionnaires  used  for  the  Utah  and  Virginia  sample  surveys 
conducted  in  1953.  There  were  variations  region  by  region  in  the 
questionnaires  to  provide  for  differences  in  crops  grown,  in  live- 
stock production,  and  in  cultural  practices.  Also,  the  positions 
of  inquiries  were  changed  in  order  to  provide  for  the  enumera- 
tion of  some  items  for  a  limited  number  of  farms  even  though 
other  inquiries  were  made  for  all  farms. 

An  agricultural  census  that  collects  vast  quantities  of  reliable 
information  requires  that  all  employees  be  trained  and  that  they 
adhere  carefully  to  prescribed  procedures  as  well  as  time  sched- 
ules. For  the  1954  Census  of  Agriculture,  the  Bureau  devised  a 
training  program  so  that  all  employees  received  instructions  for 
the  respective  jobs.  In  most  instances,  training  sessions  were 
held  near  the  areas  in  which  employees  worked  and  immediately 
prior  to  the  beginning  of  their  assignments. 

The  1954  enumeration  required  approximately  30,000  enumera- 
tors who  were  supervised  by  some  2,200  crew  leaders.  These 
persons  were  supervised  by  119  field  offices  organized  \inder  five 
regional  offices.  From  October  4  to  November  8,  1954,  depending 
upon  the  State  and  the  area,  trained  enumerators  began  their 
work.  Their  work  was  to  obtain  for  every  farm  the  required 
information  about  that  farm's  operations,  such  as  its  crops,  live- 
stock, poultry,  farm  expenses,  equipment  and  facilities,  and  some 
facts  about  the  farm  operator. 

About  two  weeks  before  the  census  starting  date,  questionnaires 
were  distributed  to  all  box  holders  on  the  rural  postal  routes  in 
all  except  a  few  Southern  States.  The  questionnaire  was  accom- 
panied by  a  letter  asking  the  farm  operator  to  examine  it  and  to 
answer  as  many  of  the  questions  as  possible  prior  to  the  visit  of 
the  census  enumerator.    By  this  procedure,  the  Bureau  expected 


to  expedite  the  work  of  the  enumerator  and  to  improve  the  quality 
of  the  information  given  by  farmers.  By  reading  the  question- 
naire, farmers  knew  what  was  wanted  and  could  check  their 
records  in  advance  of  the  enumerator's  visit. 

A  good  census  requires  a  complete  as  well  as  an  accurate 
enumeration.  Several  techniques  were  used  to  help  obtain  a  good 
census  in  1954. 

Instructions  covering  census  procedures  were  designed  in  such 
a  manner  that  objective  criteria  were  supplied,  and  enumerators 
were  not  expected  to  rely  on  their  own  opinions  or  judgments 
concerning  census  entries  or  classifications.  For  example,  an 
enumerator  was  required  to  complete  an  agriculture  question- 
naire when  specified  conditions  were  met.  He  was  not  required 
to  decide  first  what  constituted  a  farm  and  then  to  obtain  a 
questionnaire.  Instead,  a  questionnaire  was  completed  whenever 
minimum  conditions  were  satisfied.  Then,  during  central  office 
processing  operations,  a  decision  was  made — on  the  basis  of  care- 
fully defined  criteria — as  to  which  questionnaires  represented 
farms. 

To  help  in  insuring  the  completeness  of  the  enumeration, 
enumerators  were  provided  with  a  specially  designed  Enumera- 
tor's Record  Book  in  which  to  list  heads  of  households  for  the 
dwellings  in  their  enumeration  districts  and  names  of  the  tenants 
or  owners  for  places  on  which  no  one  lived.  The  Enumerator's 
Record  Book  contained  questions  about  the  agricultural  opera- 
tions on  the  place.  The  answers  to  these  questions  determined 
whether  an  agriculture  questionnaire  was  required  for  the  place 
and,  also,  whether  this  enumerator  or  an  enumerator  in  another 
enumeration  district  was  required  to  fiir  out  the  questionnaire. 

In  order  to  minimize  the  cost  of  the  enumeration,  procedures 
were  developed  to  limit  the  listing  of  heads  of  households  and  of 
other  places  in  urban  areas,  incorporated  places,  and  built-up 
residential  areas.  In  accordance  with  these  procedures,  enumera- 
tion districts  were  classified,  prior  to  the  enumeration,  into  three 
groups  on  the  basis  of  the  density  of  dwellings  in  relation  to  the 
number  of  farms  according  to  the  1950  Censuses  of  Agriculture 
and  Population. 

In  general,  the  enumeration  districts  with  no  well-defined  cluster 
of  dwellings  were  considered  to  be  open-country  areas  and  were 
classified  as  Group  I  Enumeration  Districts.  For  Group  I  Enu- 
meration Districts  the  enumerator  was  required  to  list  in  his 
Enumerator's  Record  Book  the  name  of  the  head  of  each  house- 
hold within  his  district.  If  no  one  lived  on  a  tract  of  land,  he 
was  required  to  list  the  name  of  the  person  who  rented  the  land, 
worked  it  on  shares,  used  it  for  livestock,  or,  if  the  land  was  not 
used  for  agricultural  purposes,  the  name  of  the  owner.  There 
were  approximately  15,300  Group  I  Enumeration  Districts.  These 
enumeration  districts  contained  2,778,000  farms  and  4.263,000 
dwelling  units  in  1950. 

The  rural  enumeration  districts  in  which  the  number  of  dwell- 
ings was  large  in  relation  to  the  number  of  farms  were  classified 
as  Group  II  Enumeration  Districts.  In  these  enumeration  dis- 
tricts the  enumerator  was  required  to  list  all  dwelling  places  in 
his  district  except  those  on  less  than  one  acre  of  land  in  built-up 
residential  areas,  such  as  small  incorporated  or  unincorporated 
villages  or  the  built-up  areas  adjacent  to  towns  or  cities.  He  was 
also  required  to  determine,  by  asking  locally,  whether  there  were 
any  farms  or  any  places  of  one  or  more  acres  within  the  built-up 
areas.  Outside  the  built-up  areas  he  was  required  to  list  the  head 
of  every  household.  There  were  approximately  14,800  enumera- 
tion districts  classified  as  Group  II.  These  enumeration  districts 
iiad  8,974,000  dwelling  units  and  2,420,000  farms  in  1950. 

Most  incorporated  places  and  unincorporated  villages  with  ap- 
proximately 150  or  more  dwellings  were  classified  as  Group  III 
Enumeration  Districts.  There  were  approximately  11,000  such 
enumeration  districts  and  these  contained  161,000  farms  in  1950. 
For  Group  III  Enumeration  Districts,  the  enumerator  was  given 
a  list  of  farm  operators  enumerated  in  the  1950  Census  of  Agri- 
culture and  was  instructed  to  visit  each  place  listed  and  find  out

whether  au  agriculture  questionnaire  was  required.  Any  place 
used  for  agriculture  was  to  be  listed  in  his  Enumerator's  Record 
Book  and  an  agriculture  questionnaire  was  to  be  obtained.  If 
the  place  was  no  longer  used  for  agriculture,  an  explanation  was 
to  be  made  on  the  list  furnished  the  enumerator.  The  enumera- 
tor was  instructed  to  ask  at  each  of  these  places  whether  there 
were  any  other  farms  or  any  places  of  3  or  more  acres  in  the 
neighborhood. 

A  few  enumeration  districts  that  comprised  an  incorporated 
place  or  that  were  within  an  incorporated  city  were  classified  as 
Group  I  or  Group  II  if  the  number  of  farms  was  large.  Also,  a 
few  very  extensive  rural  districts  requiring  considerable  travel 
were  classified  in  Group  III  when  the  number  of  farms  was  small. 

The  method  prescribed  for  canvassing  an  enumeration  district 
helped  to  insure  complete  coverage.  The  enumerator  was  in- 
structed to  proceed  in  a  systematic  manner  from  a  logical  start- 
ing point.  He  listed  each  place  and  each  dwelling  on  successive 
lines  in  the  Enumerator's  Record  Book.  In  addition,  he  was  re- 
quired to  identify  these  on  his  enumerator's  map  with  a  cross 
reference  to  the  Enumerator's  Record  Book.  This  procedure 
helped  him  to  determine,  by  looking  at  his  map,  the  extent  of 
coverage  at  any  given  time.  It  also  helped  the  crew  leader  in 
checking  to  see  that  coverage  was  complete. 

Some  farms  were  given  special  attention  to  insure  their  inclu- 
sion in  the  enumeration.  Prior  to  the  enumeration,  a  list  known 
as  "specified  farms"  was  prepared  from  records  of  the  1950  Cen- 
sus of  Agriculture.  Farms  having  unusually  large  agricultural 
operations  were  included  in  this  list.  During  the  enumeration  a 
careful  check  was  made  to  see  that  each  place  on  the  specifled- 
farm  list  was  accounted  for.  This  procedure  helped  to  insure  that 
units  which  could  have  a  significant  effect  upon  the  census  data 
were  not  omitted  from  the  enumeration.  (For  a  detailed  ex- 
planation of  specified  farms,  see  page  XII.) 

Some  farm  units  other  than  specified  farms  also  received  special 
attention  to  insure  complete  coverage.  Prior  to  the  field  enum- 
eration, lists  were  obtained  of  places  known  to  be  specializing  in 
specific  types  of  agricultural  production,  such  as  garbage-feeding 
operations,  broiler  operations,  large  turkey  farms,  livestock  feed 
lots,  cranberry  bogs,  and  citrus  groves.  For  some  of  these 
operations,  the  list  represented  a  nationwide  effort  to  insure 
coverage,  while  for  others,  only  some  of  the  intensive  areas  of 
production  were  given  this  special  attention.  These  lists  were 
prepared,  in  part,  with  the  cooperation  of  the  Agricultural  Market- 
ing Service  of  the  U.  S.  Department  of  Agriculture  and  State 
Agricultural  Statisticians.  During  the  enumeration,  the  enumer- 
ator was  required  to  obtain  a  questionnaire  for  each  place  or 
otherwise  satisfactorily  account  for  each  place  on  the  list  of 
specified  farms  or  on  other  special  lists. 

Some  areas  of  the  High  Plains  required  special  consideration 
since  the  usual  enumeration  procedure  was  complicated  by  the 
prevalence  of  nonresident  operators  and  widely  scattered  tracts 
operated  as  one  farm.  In  these  areas  a  special  mapping  form 
was  used  to  insure  complete  coverage.  Land  was  checked  off  on 
the  mapping  form  by  section,  township,  and  range  as  it  was 
enumerated.  This  check  map,  designed  for  plotting  sections 
within  a  township,  was  subdivided  into  16  parts  of  40  acres  each. 
Enumerators  were  required  to  indicate  on  this  form  all  land  in 
farms  that  they  enumerated.  Cross  references  were  made  be- 
tween the  questionnaire  and  the  map.  The  enumerator  identified 
land  for  a  given  questionnaire  on  his  check  map  by  writing  the 
number  identifying  the  questionnaire  in  each  corresponding  40- 
acre  square  of  the  check  map.  The  check  map  helped  the  enum- 
erator and,  subsequently,  the  crew  leader  and  other  personnel 
reviewing  the  enumerator's  work  to  determine  whether  the  cov- 
erage of  the  enumeration  district  was  complete.  This  procedure 
was  used  in  all  of  North  Dakota  and  South  Dakota  and  selected 
counties  in  Colorado,  Kansas,  Montana,  Nebraska,  New  Mexico, 
and  Oklahoma.  In  general,  the  areas  for  which  such  maps  were 
used  corresponded  with  the  major  wheat-producing  sections  with 
low  rainfall. 


A  special  supplementary  questionnaire  was  used  in  approxi- 
mately 900  counties  in  the  South.  This  questionnaire,  designated 
the  Landlord-Tenant  Questionnaire,  aided  in  the  enumeration 
of  cropper  and  other  tenant  farms  which  were  parts  of  larger 
landholdings.  This  additional  form  was  completed  when  two 
or  more  agriculture  questionnaires  were  needed  for  a  landhold- 
ing.  Since  it  called  for  the  name  and  agricultural  operations  of 
each  tenant  on  the  landholding,  the  procedure  enabled  an  enum- 
erator to  determine  that  all  operations  were  reported  completely 
and  only  once.  The  Enumerator's  Record  Book,  used  in  these 
selected  southern  counties,  differed  from  that  used  elsewhere. 
The  southern  version  helped  the  enumerator  to  identify  the  land- 
holdings  for  which  this  supplementary  landlord-tenant  form  was 
required. 

Crew  leaders,  in  supervising  enumerators,  began  reviewing 
questionnaires,  maps,  and  other  forms  and  checking  the  enum- 
erator's work  for  completeness  of  coverage  and  quality  almost 
as  soon  as  the  enumeration  was  started.  The  crew  leader  and 
his  enumerators  were  required  to  make  the  records  of  their 
respective  areas  as  accurate  and  as  complete  as  possible. 

While  assembling  records,  the  field  processing  offices  also  made 
certain  checks.  Although  these  offices  performed  no  detailed 
editing  of  questionnaires,  some  steps  were  taken  to  detect 
enumeration  districts  in  which  the  enumerator's  work  was  not 
fully  satisfactory,  especially  in  regard  to  coverage.  The  26  proc- 
essing offices  were  given  a  form,  for  each  county,  which  contained 
data  from  the  1950  Census  for  the  number  of  farms  and  land 
in  farms.  Where  possible,  this  form  gave  the  1950  comparative 
data  for  the  enumeration  districts  or  for  the  minor  civil  divisions 
comprising  each  county.  For  most  counties,  it  was  possible  to 
furnish,  at  the  county  level,  an  additional  check  figure.  This 
figure  was  the  acreage  of  one  of  the  following  crops  :  wheat,  corn, 
cotton,  tobacco,  or  rice.  In  most  instances,  these  check  figures 
represented  measured  acreages  (before  harvest)  as  determined 
by  the  Commodity  Stabilization  Service  of  the  U.  S.  Department 
of  Agriculture.  By  checking  totals  for  the  enumeration  dis- 
tricts with  these  check  data,  it  was  possible  to  determine  and 
remedy  obvious  underenumeration  before  records  were  released 
from  field  processing  offices.  The  1954  totals  for  the  county, 
together  with  the  check  data,  were  sent  to  the  Washington  office 
for  review  and  approval  before  the  enumeration  was  considered 
acceptable. 

After  the  canvass  of  an  enumeration  district  was  completed, 
the  supervising  crew  leader  collected  the  questionnaires  and  other 
records  from  the  enumerator  and  sent  them  to  the  processing 
office  for  his  area.  The  processing  offices  made  some  checks  on 
the  enumeration  in  each  enumeration  district.  In  this  checking, 
emphasis  was  placed  upon  preparation  of  payrolls,  completeness 
of  coverage,  and  the  correct  application  of  the  sampling  pro- 
cedure. 

The  final  operations  for  the  agricultural  census  were  handled 
in  central  offices.  The  Washington  office  was  the  focal  point 
of  these  activities;  but,  for  the  first  time,  some  of  the  agricultural 
census  operations  were  decentralized  into  areas  outside  of  Wash- 
ington. Census  operations  offices  were  established  at  Detroit, 
Michigan  and  Pittsburg,  Kansas. 

Upon  their  release  from  field  processing  offices,  records  were 
transferred  to  the  two  Census  operations  offices.  Although 
there  were  exceptions,  in  general,  records  from  the  Northern  and 
Northeastern  States  were  sent  to  the  Detroit  office  and  those 
from  Southern  and  Western  States  were  sent  to  Pittsburg,  Kansas. 
At  these  offices,  questionnaires  were  edited  and  coded  and  the 
information  was  entered  on  punch  cards  for  tabulation. 

In  the  operations  offices,  the  checking,  editing,  and  coding  were 
performed  for  individual  agriculture  questionnaires.  The  check- 
ing consisted  of  seeing  (1)  that  the  questionnaires  were  com- 
pletely filled  out;  (2)  that  the  acreage  of  individual  crops  har- 
vested was  in  reasonable  agreement  with  the  acreage  of  cropland 
harvested  when  100  or  more  acres  of  cropland  harvested  were 


XII 


UNITED  STATES  CENSUS  OF  AGRICULTURE:  1954 


reported ;  (3)  that  the  acres  of  land  classified  according  to  use 
accounted  for  the  entire  farm  acreage  for  farm's  having  200  acres 
or  more;  (4)  that  the  total  of  the  acreage  for  the  various  uses  of 
corn,  sorghum,  soybeans,  cowpeas,  and  peanuts  was  in  reasonable 
agreement  with  the  total  acreage  reported  for  all  purposes  for 
each  of  these  crops  ;  (5)  that  the  age  and  sex  breakdown  for  cattle, 
hogs,  and  sheep  added  to  approximately  the  total  number  of  such 
animals  of  all  ages  ;  and  (0)  that  all  entries  for  related  items  were 
reasonably  consistent.  Editing  consisted  of  the  identification  and 
withdrawal  of  questionnaires  filled  for  places  not  qualifying  as 
farms;  the  selection  of  questionnaires  with  entries  of  unusually 
large  size  for  review  by  the  technical  staff;  the  selection  of  groups 
of  questionnaires  with  common  reporting  errors  in  an  individual 
enumeration  district  for  referral  to  technical  personnel  for 
review;  and  the  correction  of  obvious  inconsistencies,  such  as 
reporting  in  an  incorrect  unit,  or  reporting  in  an  improper  place 
on  the  questionnaire.  Coding  consisted  of  entering  code  numbers 
for  crops  for  which  there  were  no  separate  inquiries  on  the  ques- 
tionnaire, for  color  and  tenure  of  operator,  and  for  irrigation; 
and,  for  a  sample  of  farms,  of  entering  codes  for  economic  class  of 
farm  and  type  of  farm.  Entries  determined  by  the  technical  staff 
to  be  in  error  were  corrected  on  the  basis  of  relationships  existing 
on  nearby  farms  or,  if  the  entries  were  large,  on  the  basis  of 
correspondence  with  the  farm  operator.  In  case  of  information 
missing  for  a  group  of  questions,  estimates  were  prepared  on  the 
basis  of  adjacent  questionnaires  for  farms  with  similar  opera- 
tions and,  in  some  cases,  on  the  basis  of  information  obtained  by 
mail  from  farm  operators.  When  estimates  were  made,  letters 
were  mailed  to  the  farm  operators  to  verify  the  information  and, 
if  the  estimates  were  not  in  reasonable  agreement  with  the  infor- 
mation contained  in  the  replies,  the  entries  were  corrected  before 
the  tabulations  were  made. 

After  punch  cards  were  prepared,  the  punch  cards,  together 
with  records  containing  the  corresponding  basic  data,  were  for- 
warded to  the  Washington  office  for  tabulation.  Once  on  punch 
cards,  the  data  were  sorted,  listed,  or  otherwise  handled  mechani- 
cally to  facilitate  making  final  checks  and  to  obtain  totals.  One 
of  the  initial  and  primary  steps  in  the  machine  handling  of  the 
punch  cards  was  to  separate  those  cards  which  lacked  necessary 
information,  those  on  which  the  punched  data  were  inconsistent 
or  impossible,  and  those  on  which  the  relationships  were  possible 
but  the  data  were  of  such  magnitude  that  a  further  review  of  the 
individual  questionnaires  was  warranted.  These  cards  contain- 
ing questionable  data  or  lacking  data  were  examined,  checked  to 
the  agriculture  questionnaires,  and  corrected,  if  necessary,  before 
the  tabulations  were  made. 

Finally,  tabulations  were  examined  from  the  standpoint  of 
over-all  reasonableness  and  consistency.  This  examination  re- 
quired the  judgment  of  specialists  and  was  the  primary  respon- 
sibility of  senior  Census  staff  members.  However,  qualified  State 
personnel  of  the  Agricultural  Marketing  Service,  U.  S.  Department 
of  Agriculture,  assisted  in  examining  the  data,  especially  those 
for  crops  and  livestock,  evaluating  the  results,  and  calling  atten- 
tion to  the  situations  for  which  further  checking  was  necessary. 

DEFINITIONS  AND  EXPLANATIONS 

Specified  farms. — "Specified  farms"  refers  to  the  larger  farms 
that  were  selected  for  special  handling  during  the  enumeration 
and  during  the  processing  of  the  agriculture  questionnaires. 
Although  the  criteria  for  their  selection  have  varied  since  this 
technique  was  first  used  in  the  1945  Census  of  Agriculture,  the 
basic  purposes  for  employing  this  technique  have  not  changed. 
One  purpose  for  using  a  list  of  specified  farms  was  to  help  to 
get  a  complete  enumeration. 

The  criteria  for  selecting  specified  farms  were  kept  as  simple  as 
possible  in  order  to  facilitate  the  work  of  enumeration.  In  most 
States,  only  one  item  was  considered  in  classifying  farms  as  "speci- 
fied."   The  following  are  the  criteria  used  for  the  1954  Census : 


Criteria  Area 

Land  in  the  farm — 1,000  acres 

or  more All  States 

Cropland  harvested : 

200  acres  or  more Florida 

500  acres  or  more Michigan,  Minnesota, 

N.  W.  Missouri,  Wisconsin 
Irrigated  cropland  harvested : 

200  acres  or  more Arizona,  California,  Louisiana 

Cattle  and  calves : 

100  or  more Alabama,  Mississippi, 

N.  W.  Missouri 

200  or  more Louisiana 

Milk  cows : 

100  or  more Arizona,  California,  Florida 

Chickens  sold : 

70,000  or  more Delaware,  Maryland,  West  Vir- 
ginia 
Occasionally,  a  farm  which  did  not  meet  any  of  the  criteria 
chosen,  but  which  bulked  large  in  respect  to  some  other  farm 
characteristics,  had  to  be  treated  as  a  specified  farm  to  reduce  its 
effect  on  the  results  based  on  a  sample  of  farms. 

In  terms  of  total  agricultural  production,  the  operators  of 
specified  farms  account  for  a  significant  part  of  the  total  produc- 
tion. For  example,  in  the  1950  Census,  71,328  farms  (then  desig- 
nated "large"  farms)  were  handled  on  a  special  basis.  Although 
this  number  was  only  1.3  percent  of  all  farms,  these  "large"  farms 
accounted  for  17.3  percent  of  the  value  of  all  farm  products  sold 
and  33.1  percent  of  all  land  in  farms.  The  criteria  used  for  estab- 
lishing the  group  of  specified  farms  for  special  handling  in  the 
1954  Census  resulted  in  more  than  twice  as  many  farms  (147,000 
in  the  1954  Census  as  compared  with  72^000  in  1950)  being  given 
special  attention. 

General  Farm  Information 

Date  of  enumeration. — The  enumeration  of  the  1954  Census  of 
Agriculture  was  made  during  the  latter  part  of  1954.  In  the 
1950  Census  the  starting  date  for  the  enumeration  was  April  1. 
The  1954  Census  beginning  dates  were  varied  by  areas  or  States, 
ranging  from  October  4  to  November  8.  In  general,  the  varied 
starting  dates  were  based  upon  ( 1 )  selecting  dates  late  enough 
for  the  enumeration  to  follow  the  harvesting  of  the  bulk  of  im- 
portant crops,  (2)  setting  the  dates  early  enough  to  avoid  unde- 
sirable weather  and  travel  conditions  during  the  enumeration,  and 
(3)  arranging  for  the  enumeration  to  be  substantially  completed 
prior  to  customary  dates  when  farm  operators  move  from  one 
farm  to  another.  The  average  date  of  enumeration  for  the  1954 
Census  for  each  county  is  given  in  County  Table  7,  and  the  per- 
centage of  farms  enumerated  by  various  dates  for  the  State  and 
the  date  or  dates  for  the  starting  of  the  enumeration  are  given 
in  State  Table  11. 

Information  for  inventory  items  is  based  on  the  situation  as  of 
the  actual  day  of  enumeration.  Data  on  acreage  and  quantity 
of  crops  harvested  are  for  the  crop  year  1954.  Data  on  sales  of 
crops  relate  to  crops  harvested  in  the  year  1954  regardless  of  when 
sold ;  data  on  sales  of  livestock  products  relate  to  the  production 
and  sales  during  the  calendar  year  1954.  Since  the  period  to 
be  included  was  not  yet  completed  for  some  items  at  the  time  of 
enumeration,  special  emphasis  was  placed  upon  including  accurate 
estimates  for  such  items  for  the  remainder  of  the  period.  For 
example,  the  question  relating  to  dairy  products  stated,  "Be  sure 
to  include  dairy  products  which  you  will  sell  before  January  1, 
1955." 

A  farm. — For  the  1954,  and  the  1950  Censuses  of  Agriculture, 
places  of  3  or  more  acres  were  counted  as  farms  if  the  annual 
value  of  agricultural  products,  exclusive  of  home-garden  products, 
amounted  to  $150  or  more.  The  agricultural  products  could  have 
been  either  for  home  use  or  for  sale.  Places  of  less  than  3  acres 
were  counted  as  farms  only  if  the  annual  value  of  sales  of  agri- 
cultural products  amounted  to  $150  or  more.  Places  for  which 
the  value  of  agricultural  products  for  1954  was  less  than  these 
minima  because  of  crop  failure  or  other  unusual  conditions,  and 


INTRODUCTION 


XIII 


places  operated  at  the  time  of  the  census  for  the  first  time  were 
counted  as  farms  If  normally  they  could  be  expected  to  produce 
these  minimum  quantities  of  agricultural  products. 

All  the  land  under  the  control  of  one  person  or  partnership 
was  included  as  one  farm.  Control  may  have  been  through 
ownership,  or  through  lease,  rental,  or  cropping  arrangement. 

For  the  1954  Census,  enumerators  were  instructed  to  obtain 
an  agriculture  questionnaire  for  all  places  that  the  operator  con- 
sidered a  farm  and  for  all  places  having  during  1954  (1)  any 
hogs,  cattle,  sheep,  or  goats;  (2)  any  crops  such  as  corn,  oats, 
hay,  or  tobacco;    (3)   20  or  more  chickens,  turkeys,  and  geese; 

(4)  20  or  more  fruit  trees,  grapevines,  and  planted  nut  trees;  or 

(5)  any  vegetables,  berries,  or  nursery  or  greenhouse  products 
grown  for  sale.  Thus,  agriculture  questionnaires  were  filled  for 
more  places  than  those  qualifying  as  farms. 

The  determination  as  to  which  reports  were  to  be  included  in 
the  tabulations  as  farms  was  made  during  the  central  office 
processing  of  questionnaires. 

For  the  1945  and  earlier  censuses  of  agriculture,  the  definition  of 
a  farm  was  somewhat  more  inclusive.  Census  enumerators  were 
provided  with  the  definition  of  a  farm  and  were  instructed  to  fill 
reports  only  for  those  places  which  met  the  criteria.  From  1925 
to  1945,  farms  for  census  purposes  included  places  of  3  or  more 
acres  on  which  there  were  agricultural  operations,  and  places 
of  less  than  3  acres  with  agricultural  products  for  home  use  or 
for  sale  with  a  value  of  $250  or  more.  For  places  of  3  or  more 
acres,  no  minimum  quantity  of  agricultural  production  was  re- 
quired for  purposes  of  enumeration ;  for  places  of  under  3  acres 
all  the  agricultural  products  valued  at  $250  or  more  may  have 
been  for  home  use  and  not  for  sale.  The  only  reports  excluded 
from  the  tabulations  were  those  taken  in  error  and  those  with 
very  limited  agricultural  production,  such  as  only  a  small  home 
garden,  a  few  fruit  trees,  a  very  small  flock  of  chickens,  etc.  In 
1945,  reports  for  places  of  3  acres  or  more  with  limited  agricul- 
tural operations  were  retained  if  there  were  3  or  more  acres  of 
cropland  and  pasture,  or  if  the  value  of  products  in  1944  amounted 
to  $150  or  more  when  there  was  less  than  3  acres  of  cropland 
and  pasture. 

Because  of  changes  in  price  level,  the  $250  limit  for  value  of 
products  for  farms  under  3  acres  resulted  in  the  inclusion  of 
varying  numbers  of  farms  in  the  several  censuses  prior  to  1950. 

The  change  in  the  definition  of  a  farm  in  1950,  and  continued 
In  1954,  resulted  in  a  decrease  in  the  number  of  farms  as  compared 
with  earlier  censuses,  especially  in  the  number  of  farms  of  3  or 
more  acres  in  size.  Places  of  3  or  more  acres  with  a  value  of 
agricultural  products  of  less  than  $150  were  not  counted  as  farms 
in  the  1954  and  1950  Censuses.  In  some  cases,  these  places  would 
have  been  counted  as  farms  if  the  criteria  used  in  1954  and  1950 
had  been  the  same  as  those  used  in  previous  censuses.  The  change 
in  the  definition  of  a  farm  had  no  appreciable  effect  on  the  totals 
for  livestock  or  crops,  for  the  places  affected  by  this  change 
ordinarily  accounted  for  less  than  1  percent  of  the  total  for  a 
county  or  State. 

There  are  two  figures  published  for  the  number  of  farms  for 
each  county  in  1954.  One  is  an  actual  count  of  all  farms  enumer- 
ated, and  the  other  is  an  estimate  based  upon  the  number  of 
sample  farms  multiplied  by  5,  plus  the  number  of  specified  farms. 
In  almost  every  county,  the  actual  number  of  farms  and  the  esti- 
mated number  of  farms  differ.  Because  of  sampling  variability, 
the  selection  of  the  sample  of  farms  seldom  resulted  in  the  in- 
clusion of  exactly  20  percent  of  the  non-specified  farms.  The 
number  of  farms  in  the  sample  in  a  county  was  accepted  if  this 
number  was  within  predetermined  limits.  The  counties  that  were 
not  acceptable  were  adjusted  to  bring  the  number  of  sample  farms 
within  the  predetermined  limits. 

Therefore,  the  actual  number  of  farms  in  the  sample  is  more  or 
less  than  20  percent  in  most  instances.  Similarly,  the  estimated 
total  for  information  obtained  for  the  sample  of  farms  may  be 
slightly  more  or  slightly  less  than  the  totals  which  would  have 


been  obtained  if  the  data  had  been  tabulated  for  all  farms. 
Therefore,  occasionally  the  estimated  number  of  farms  reporting 
for  some  items  may  be  greater  than  the  total  number  of  farms 
enumerated.  The  estimated  number  of  farms  is  shown  in  the 
tables  so  that  estimates  based  on  the  farms  in  the  sample  can  he 
related  to  the  estimated  number  of  farms  rather  than  to  the  actual 
number  of  farms. 

Enumeration  of  land  located  in  more  than  one  county. — Land  in 
an  individual  farm  may  be  located  in  two  or  more  counties.  In 
such  case,  the  entire  farm  was  enumerated  in  only  one  county. 
If  the  farm  operator  lived  on  the  farm,  the  farm  was  enumerated 
in  the  county  in  which  the  farm  operator  lived.  If  the  farm 
operator  did  not  live  on  the  farm,  the  figures  for  the  farm  were 
included  in  the  county  in  which  the  farm  headquarters  was  lo- 
cated. If  there  was  any  question  as  to  the  location  of  the  head- 
quarters of  the  farm,  the  farm  was  included  in  the  county  in 
which  most  of  the  land  was  located. 

Farm  operator. — A  "farm  operator"  is  a  person  who  operates  a 
farm,  either  performing  the  labor  himself  or  directly  supervising 
it.  He  may  be  an  owner,  a  hired  manager,  or  a  tenant,  renter,  or 
sharecropper.  If  he  rents  land  to  others  or  has  land  cropped 
for  him  by  others,  he  is  listed  as  the  operator  of  only  that  land 
which  he  retains.  In  the  case  of  a  partnership,  only  one  partner 
was  included  as  the  operator.  The  number  of  farm  operators 
is  considered  the  same  as  the  number  of  farms. 

Farms  reporting  or  operators  reporting. — Figures  for  farms  re- 
porting or  operators  reporting,  based  on  a  tabulation  of  all  farms, 
represent  the  number  of  farms,  or  farm  operators,  for  which  the 
specified  item  was  reported.  For  example,  if  there  were  1,922 
farms  in  a  county  and  only  1,465  had  chickens  over  4  months  old 
on  hand,  the  number  of  farms  reporting  chickens  would  be  1,465. 
The  difference  between  the  total  number  of  farms  and  the  number 
of  farms  reporting  an  item  represents  the  number  of  farms  not 
having  that  item,  provided  the  inquiry  was  answered  completely 
for  all  farms. 

For  some  of  the  items,  such  as  the  residence  of  the  operator,  for 
which  reports  were  to  have  been  obtained  for  all  farms,  figures 
are  given  for  the  number  of  farms  not  reporting.  The  number 
of  farms,  or  operators,  not  reporting  indicates  the  extent  of  the 
incompleteness  of  the  reporting  for  the  item. 

Figures  for  farms  reporting  or  operators  reporting,  based  on  a 
tabulation  for  only  a  sample  of  farms,  represent  the  total  esti- 
mated from  the  sample,  not  the  actual  number  of  farms  or 
operators  reporting. 

Land  owned,  rented,  and  managed. — The  land  to  be  included  in 
each  farm  was  determined  by  asking  the  number  of  acres  owned, 
the  acres  rented  from  others  or  worked  on  shares  for  others,  and 
the  acres  rented  to  others  or  worked  on  shares  by  others.  The 
acres  in  the  farm  were  obtained  by  adding  the  acres  owned  and 
acres  rented  from  others  or  worked  on  shares  for  others,  and  sub- 
tracting the  acres  rented  to  others  or  worked  on  shares  by  others. 
In  case  of  a  managed  farm,  the  person  in  charge  was  asked  the 
total  acreage  managed  for  his  employer.  The  acreage  that  was 
rented  to  others  or  cropped  by  others  was  subtracted  from  the 
total  managed  acreage. 

For  1954  and  1950,  the  figures  for  land  owned,  land  rented 
from  others,  and  land  managed  for  others  include  land  rented 
to  others  by  farm  operators.  In  earlier  censuses,  the  enumerator 
was  instructed  to  include  all  land  rented  from  others  and  to  ex- 
clude all  land  rented  to  others.  Thus,  he  recorded  only  that 
portion  of  the  acreage  owned  and  the  acreage  rented  from  others 
which,  was  retained  by  the  farm  operator.  For  prior  censuses, 
the  land  included  in  each  farm  was  essentially  the  same  as  that 
included  for  the  1954  and  1950  Censuses. 

Land  owned. — Land  owned  includes  all  land  that  the  operator 
or  his  wife,  or  both,  hold  under  title,  purchase  contract,  home- 
stead law,  or  as  one  of  the  heirs,  or  as  a  trustee  of  an 
undivided  estate. 

Land  rented  from  others. — Land  rented  from  others  includes 
land  worked  on  shares  for   others,   and   land  used   rent   free, 


XIV 


UNITED  STATES  CENSUS  OF  AGRICULTURE:  1954 


as  well  as  all  land  rented  or  leased  under  other  arrangements. 
Grazing  land  used  under  government  permit 'was  not  included. 

Land  rented  to  others. — Many  farm  operators  rent  land  to 
others.  For  the  most  part,  the  land  rented  to  others  represents 
agricultural  land  but  it  also  includes  tracts  rented  for  resi- 
dential or  other  purposes.  When  land  is  leased,  rented,  or 
cropped  on  shares,  the  tenant  or  cropper  is  considered  the  farm 
operator  even  though  his  landlord  may  exercise  supervision 
over  his  operations.  The  landlord  is  considered  as  operating 
only  that  portion  of  the  land  not  assigned  to  tenants  or  croppers. 

Land  area. — The  approximate  total  land  area  reported  for  1954 
for  States  and  counties  is,  in  general,  the  same  as  that  reported 
for  the  1950,  1945,  and  1940  Censuses.  Changes  since  1940  rep- 
resent changes  in  boundary,  actual  changes  in  land  area  due  to 
the  construction  of  reservoirs,  etc.  The  figures  for  1940  repre- 
sent a  complete  remeasurement  of  the  United  States  and,  there- 
fore, may  differ  from  the  figures  shown  for  earlier  censuses. 

Land  in  farms. — The  acreage  designated  "land  in  farms"  in- 
cludes considerable  areas  of  land  not  actually  under  cultivation 
and  some  land  not  used  for  pasture  or  grazing.  All  woodland 
and  wasteland  owned  by  farm  operators,  or  included  in  tracts 
rented  from  others,  is  included  as  land  in  farms  unless  such  land 
was  held  for  other  than  agricultural  purposes,  or  unless  the 
acreage  of  such  land  held  by  a  farm  operator  was  unusually 
large.  If  a  place  had  1,000  or  more  acres  of  land  not  being  used 
for  agricultural  purposes  and  less  than  10  percent  of  the  total 
acreage  in  the  place  was  used  for  agricultural  purposes,  the  non- 
agricultural  land  in  excess  of  the  number  of  acres  used  for  agri- 
cultural purposes  was  excluded  from  the  farm  area.  In  applying 
this  rule,  land  used  for  crops,  for  pasture,  or  grazing,  and  land 
rented  to  others  were  considered  to  be  land  for  agricultural 
purposes.  On  the  other  hand,  land  was  defined  as  nonagricul- 
tural  when  it  was  woodland  not  pastured,  or  in  house  and  barn 
lots,  roads,  lanes,  ditches,  or  wasteland.  The  procedure  used 
in  1950  for  excluding  unusually  large  acreages  of  nonagricultural 
land  differed  slightly  from  the  one  used  for  the  current  census. 
In  1950,  adjustments  were  made  in  places  of  1,000  acres  or  more 
(5,000  acres  or  more  in  the  17  Western  States)  if  less  than  10 
percent  of  the  total  acreage  was  used  for  agricultural  purposes. 

Except  for  open  range  and  grazing  land  used  under  govern- 
ment permit,  all  grazing  land  was  to  be  included  as  land  in  farms. 
Land  used  rent  free  was  to  be  included  as  land  rented  from 
others.  Grazing  lands  operated  by  grazing  associations  were  to 
be  reported  in  the  name  of  the  manager  in  charge.  All  land  in 
Indian  reservations  used  for  growing  crops  or  grazing  livestock 
was  to  be  included.  Land  in  Indian  reservations  not  reported  by 
individual  Indians  or  not  rented  to  non-Indians  was  to  be  re- 
ported in  the  name  of  the  cooperative  group  using  the  land.  Thus, 
in  some  instances  the  entire  Indian  reservation  was  reported 
as  one  farm. 

Land  in  farms  according  to  use. — Land  in  farms  was  classified 
according  to  the  use  made  of  it  in  1954.  The  classes  of  land  are 
mutually  exclusive,  i.  e.,  each  acre  of  land  was  included  only 
once  even  though  it  may  have  had  more  than  one  use  during  the 
year. 

The  classes  are  as  follows : 

Cropland  harvested. — This  includes  land  from  which  crops 
were  harvested;  land  from  which  hay  (including  wild  hay) 
was  cut;  and  land  in  small  fruits,  orchards,  vineyards,  nurser- 
ies, and  greenhouses.  Land  from  which  two  or  more  crops 
were  reported  as  harvested  was  to  be  counted  only  once. 

The  enumerator  was  instructed  to  check  the  figure  for  crop- 
land harvested  for  each  farm  by  adding  the  acreages  of  the  in- 
dividual crops  reported  and  subtracting  the  acres  of  land  from 
which  two  crops  were  harvested.  This  procedure  was  repeated 
during  the  central  office  editing  process  for  farms  with  100  or 
more  acres  of  cropland  harvested. 

If  the  harvested  cropland  was  used  for  other  purposes,  either 
before  or  after  the  harvest  of  a  crop,  the  enumerator  was 
specifically  instructed  to  report  the  acreage  only  under  crop- 
land harvested. 


Cropland  used  only  for  pasture. — In  the  1954  and  1950  Cen- 
suses, the  enumerator's  instructions  stated  that  rotation  pasture 
and  all  other  cropland  that  was  used  only  for  pasture  were  to 
be  included  under  this  class.  No  further  definition  of  crop- 
land pastured  was  given  the  farm  operator  or  enumerator. 
Permanent  open  pasture  may,  therefore,  have  been  included 
under  this  item  or  under  "other  pasture,"  depending  on  whether 
the  enumerator  or  farm  operator  considered  it  as  cropland. 

The  figures  for  1945  and  earlier  censuses  are  not  entirely 
comparable  with  those  for  the  last  two  ceususes.  For  1945,  the 
figures  include  only  cropland  used  solely  for  pasture  in  1944 
that  had  been  plowed  within  the  preceding  seven  years.  The 
figures  for  this  item,  for  the  Censuses  of  1940.  1935,  and  1925, 
are  more  nearly  comparable  with  those  for  the  Censuses  of 
1954  and  1950,  as  they  include  land  pastured  that  could  have 
been  plowed  and  used  for  crops  without  additional  clearing, 
draining,  or  irrigating. 

Cropland  not  harvested  and  not  pastured. — This  item  includes 
idle  cropland,  land  in  soil-improvement  crops  only,  land  on 
which  all  crops  failed,  land  seeded  to  crops  for  harvest  after 
1954,  and  cultivated  summer  fallow. 

In  the  Western  States,  this  class  was  subdivided  to  show 
separately  the  acres  of  cultivated  summer  fallow.  In  these 
States,  the  acreage  not  in  cultivated  summer  fallow  represents 
largely  crop  failure.  There  are  very  few  counties  in  the 
Western  States  in  which  there  is  a  large  acreage  of  idle  crop- 
land or  in  which  the  growing  of  soil-improvement  crops  is  an 
important  use  of  the  land. 

In  the  States  other  than  the  Western  States,  this  general 
class  was  subdivided  to  show  separately  the  acres  of  idle  crop- 
land (not  used  for  crops  or  for  pasture  in  1954).  In  these 
States,  the  incidence  of  crop  failure  is  usually  low.  It  was 
expected  that  the  acreage  figure  that  excluded  idle  land  would 
reflect  the  acreage  in  soil-improvement  crops.  However,  the 
1954  crop  year  was  one  of  low  rainfall  in  many  Eastern  and 
Southern  States  and,  therefore,  in  these  areas  the  acreage  of 
cropland  not  harvested  and  not  pastured  includes  more  land 
on  which  all  crops  failed  than  would  usually  be  the  case. 

Cultivated  summer  fallow. — This  item  includes  cropland 
that  was  plowed  and  cultivated  but  left  unseeded  for  several 
months  to  control  weeds  and  conserve  moisture.  No  land 
from  which  crops  were  harvested  in  1954  was  to  be  included 
under  this  item. 

Woodland  pastured. — This  includes  all  woodland  that  was 
used  for  pasture  or  grazing.  The  questionnaire  contained  the 
following  instruction  :  "Include  as  woodland  all  wood  lots  and 
timber  tracts  and  cutover  land  with  young  trees  which  have 
or  will  have  value  as  wood  or  timber."  No  definition  of  wood- 
land was  given  in  1950  to  either  farm  operators  or  Census 
enumerators  except  an  instruction  to  enumerators  not  to  in- 
clude brush  pasture  as  woodland.  Some  of  the  changes  in  wood- 
land acreages  from  one  census  to  another  may  merely  represent 
differences  in  interpretation  of  the  meaning  of  woodland. 

Woodland  not  pastured. — This  includes  all  woodland  that  was 
not  used  for  pasture  or  grazing.  Unusually  large  tracts  of 
timberland  reported  as  woodland  not  pastured  were  excluded 
from  the  tabulations  of  land  in  farms  when  it  was  evident  that 
such  land  was  held  primarily  for  nonagricultural  purposes. 
The  definition  for  woodland,  as  stated  above,  was  used  also 
for  enumerating  woodland  not  pastured. 

Other  pasture  (not  cropland  and  not  woodland). — This  in- 
cludes rough  and  brush  land  pastured  and  any  other  land 
pastured  that  the  respondent  did  not  consider  as  either  wood- 
land or  cropland.  The  figures  for  1954  and  1950  are  comparable 
but  for  1945  all  nonwoodland  pasture  not  plowed  within  the 
preceding  7  years  was  included.  For  the  1940  Census  and 
earlier  years,  the  figures  are  more  nearly  comparable  with  those 
for  1954  and  1950,  except  that  the  item  may  be  somewhat  less 
inclusive  since  land  that  could  have  been  plowed  and  used  for 
crops  without  additional  clearing,  draining,  or  irrigating  was 
classified  as  plowable  pasture  (shown  as  cropland  used  only 
for  pasture  in  the  tables) . 

Improved  pasture. — This  item  includes  land  in  "other  pas- 
ture" on  which  one  or  more  of  the  following  practices  had 
been  used:  Liming,  fertilizing,  seeding  to  grasses  or  legumes, 
irrigating,  draining,  or  controlling  weeds  and  brush.  The 
question  on  improved  pasture  was  included  in  1954  for  the 
first  time. 

Other  land  (house  lots,  roads,  wasteland,  etc.). — This  item  in- 
cludes house  lots,  barn  lots,  lanes,  roads,  ditches,  and  waste- 
land. It  includes  all  land  that  does  not  belong  under  any  of 
the  other  land-use  classes. 


INTRODUCTION 


xv 


In  addition  to  the  complete  classification  of  land  in  farms  ac- 
cording to  use,  the  tables  also  present  data  for  three  summary 
classifications  as  follows : 

Cropland,  total.— This  includes  cropland  harvested,  cropland 

used  only  for  pasture,  and  cropland   not  harvested   and  not 

pastured. 

Land  pastured,  total. — This  includes  cropland  used  only  for 

pasture,  woodland  pastured,  and  other  pasture   (not  cropland 

and  not  woodland). 

Woodland,  total. — This  includes  woodland  pastured  and  wood- 
land not  pastured. 

Value  of  land  and  buildings.— The  value  to  be  reported  was  the 
approximate  amount  for  which  the  land  and  the  buildings  on  it 
would  sell.  This  item  was  obtained  for  only  a  sample  of  the 
farms;  however,  the  value  was  not  reported  for  all  the  farms 
comprising  the  sample. 

Many  problems,  not  encountered  in  enumerating  most  agricul- 
tural items,  are  involved  in  obtaining  farm  real-estate  values. 
Most  enumerated  items  require  the  respondent  to  make  a  state- 
ment based  upon  fact.  It  may  be  the  number  and  value  of  farm 
animals  sold  alive  during  the  year  or  the  number  of  lambs  under 
1  year  old  on  the  place.  In  either  case,  only  information  as  to 
activities  during  a  specified  period,  or  the  situation  as  of  a  stated 
time,  is  required.  This  information  is  based  upon  actual  trans- 
actions or  existing  conditions.  But  the  estimation  of  the  value 
of  land  and  buildings  is  based  largely  upon  opinion.  In  the  event 
a  farm  had  been  recently  purchased,  answers  could  be  based 
upon  that  experience.  But  many  farms  have  not  changed  hands 
for  many  years,  nor  are  they  currently  for  sale.  In  such  cases, 
farm  operators  may  have  no  clear  basis  for  estimating  the  value. 
In  making  an  intelligent  estimate,  a  respondent  needs,  first,  to 
estimate  the  prevailing  market  value  in  the  community.  Sec- 
ondly, he  must  in  some  way  add  to  or  subtract  from  this  base  to 
allow  for  his  farm's  special  characteristics.  In  many  cases,  a 
farm  operator  who  would  not  sell  his  place  under  any  circum- 
stances may  be  inclined  to  give  a  "market  value"  that  is  un- 
reasonably high.  Some  operators  who  had  purchased  their  real 
estate  during  periods  of  relatively  low  prices  may  give  an  esti- 
mate that  is  unduly  influenced  by  that  experience.  Further- 
more, the  extent  of  variation  known  to  exist  in  real-estate  values 
makes  it  difficult  to  establish  checking  procedures  that  will  dis- 
close inaccurate  estimates. 

Only  average  values  of  land  and  buildings  per  farm  and  per 
acre  are  presented  in  this  report.  A  total  value  of  the  land  and 
buildings  for  States,  geographic  divisions,  and  the  United  States, 
will  be  presented  in  Volume  II. 

Age  of  operator. — Farm  operators  were  classified  by  age  into 
six  age  groups.  The  average  age  of  farm  operators  was  calculated 
by  dividing  the  total  of  ages  of  all  farm  operators  reporting  age 
by  the  number  of  farm  operators  reporting. 

Residence  of  farm  operator. — Farm  operators  were  classified  by 
residence  on  the  basis  of  whether  or  not  they  lived  on  the  farm 
operated.  Some  of  those  not  living  on  the  farm  operated  lived 
on  other  farms.  When  a  farm  operator  rented  land  from  others 
or  worked  land  on  shares  for  others  and  had  the  use  of  a  dwell- 
ing as  part  of  the  rental  arrangement,  the  enumerator  was  in- 
structed to  consider  the  dwelling  a  part  of  the  farm  operated.  The 
dwelling  assigned  may  have  been  on  a  tract  other  than  that  as- 
signed for  crops.  Since  some  farm  operators  live  on  their  farms 
only  a  portion  of  the  year,  comparability  of  the  figures  for  var- 
ious censuses  may  be  affected  to  some  extent  by  the  date  of  the 
enumeration.  In  a  few  cases  the  enumerator  failed  to  indicate 
the  residence  of  the  farm  operator.  Differences  between  the  total 
number  of  farms  and  the  number  of  farm  operators  by  residence 
represent  underreporting  of  this  item. 

Years  on  present  farm  (year  began  operation  of  present  farm). — 
The  data  on  years  on  present  farm  and  year  began  operation  of 
present  farm  were  secured  on  the  basis  of  the  inquiry,  "When  did 

you  begin   to   operate  this  place?     "     The 

(Month)  (Year)      . 


time  of  year  that  farmers  move  is  indicated  by  the  month  they 
began  to  operate  their  farms,  as  shown  by  a  breakdown  of  the  data 
for  those  farm  operators  who  began  to  operate  their  present 
farms  in  the  calendar  years  1954  and  1953.  The  tabulation  of 
years  on  present  farm  at  each  census  is  based  on  the  calendar 
year  the  operator  began  operating  his  farm.  Because  of  differ- 
ences in  the  date  for  various  censuses,  the  figures  are  not  fully 
comparable  from  one  census  to  another. 

Off-farm  work  and  other  income. — Many  farm  operators  receive 
a  part  of  their  income  from  sources  other  than  the  sale  of  farm 
products  from  their  farms.  The  1954  Agriculture  Questionnaire 
included  several  inquiries  relating  to  work  off  the  farm  and  non- 
farm  income.  These  inquiries  called  for  the  number  of  days 
worked  off  the  farm  by  the  farm  operator  ;  whether  other  members 
of  the  operator's  family  worked  off  the  farm;  and  whether  the 
farm  operator  received  income  from  other  sources,  such  as  sale 
of  products  from  land  rented  out,  cash  rent,  boarders,  old  age  as- 
sistance, pensions,  veterans'  allowances,  unemployment  compen- 
sation, interest,  dividends,  profits  from  nonfarm  business,  and 
help  from  other  members  of  the  operator's  family.  Another  in- 
quiry asked  whether  the  income  of  the  operator  and  his  family 
from  off-farm  work  and  other  sources  was  greater  than  the  total 
value  of  all  agricultural  products  sold  from  the  farm  in  1954. 
Off-farm  work  was  to  include  work  at  nonfarm  jobs,  businesses, 
or  professions,  whether  performed  on  the  farm  premises  or  else- 
where ;  also  work  on  someone  else's  farm  for  pay  or  wages.  Ex- 
change work  was  not  to  be  included. 

The  purposes  of  these  four  inquiries  were  (1)  to  obtain  in- 
formation in  regard  to  the  extent  that  farm  operators  performed 
off-farm  work  and  the  relation  of  other  nonfarm  income  to  the 
value  of  farm  products  sold  and  (2)  to  provide  a  basis  for  the 
classification  of  farms  by  economic  class  (see  Farms  by  eco- 
nomic class,  page  XXII).  The  intent  of  the  inquiry  in  regard  to 
whether  or  not  a  member  of  the  family  had  a  nonfarm  job,  and  the 
inquiry  regarding  income  of  the  farm  operator  from  other  non- 
farm  sources,  was  to  obtain  more  accurate  replies  to  the  inquiry 
regarding  the  relationship  of  the  income  from  off-farm  work  and 
other  sources  to  the  total  value  of  all  agricultural  products  sold. 

Specified  facilities  and  equipment. — Inquiries  were  made  in  1954 
for  a  sample  of  farms  to  determine  the  presence  or  absence  of 
selected  items  on  each  place  such  as  (1)  telephone,  (2)  piped  run- 
ning water,  (3)  electricity,  (4)  television  set,  (5)  home  freezer, 
(6)  electric  pig  brooder,  (7)  milking  machine,  and  (8)  power  feed 
grinder.  Such  facilities  or  equipment  were  to  be  counted  even 
though  temporarily  out  of  order.  Piped  running  water  was  de- 
fined as  water  piped  from  a  pressure  system  or  by  gravity  flow 
from  a  natural  or  artificial  source.  The  enumerator's  instruc- 
tions stated  that  pig  brooders  were  to  include  those  heated  by  an 
electric  heating  element,  by  an  infra-red  or  heat  bulb,  or  by  or- 
dinary electric  bulbs.     They  could  be  homemade. 

The  number  of  selected  types  of  other  farm  equipment  was 
also  obtained  for  a  sample  of  farms.  The  selected  kinds  of  farm 
equipment  to  be  reported  were  (1)  grain  combines  (for  harvest- 
ing and  threshing  grains  or  seeds  in  one  operation)  ;  (2)  corn 
pickers;  (3)  pick-up  balers  (stationary  ones  not  to  be  reported)  ; 
(4)  field  forage  harvesters  (for  field  chopping  of  silage  and 
forage  crops)  ;  (5)  motortrucks;  (6)  wheel  tractors  (other  than 
garden)  ;  (7)  garden  tractors;  (8)  crawler  tractors  (tracklaying, 
caterpillar);  (9)  automobiles;  and  (10)  artificial  ponds,  reser- 
voirs, and  earth  tanks. 

Wheel  tractors  were  to  include  homemade  tractors  but  were 
not  to  include  implements  having  built-in  power  units  such  as 
self-propelled  combines,  powered  buck  rakes,  etc.  "Pick-up" 
and  truck-trailer  combinations  were  to  be  reported  as  motor- 
trucks. School  buses  were  not  to  l>e  reported,  and  jeeps  and 
station  wagons  were  to  be  included  as  motortrucks  or  automo- 
biles, depending  on  whether  used  for  hauling  farm  products  or 
supplies,  or  as  passenger  vehicles. 

Classification  of  farms  by  class  of  work  power.— Farms  were 
grouped  by  class  of  work  power  on  the  basis  of  whether  horses, 


XVI 


UNITED  STATES  CENSUS  OF  AGRICULTURE:  1954 


mules,  or  tractors  (wheel  or  crawler,  but  not  garden)  were 
reported.  This  classification  does  not  present  a  complete  picture 
of  the  work  power  used  on  all  farms.  For  some  farms,  all  the 
work  power  may  be  furnished  by  the  landlord  ;  and  for  some  farms, 
all  the  work  ix>wer  may  be  hired.  Thus,  farms  hiring  all  of  the 
work  power  from  others  and  those  having  it  furnished  are  shown 
as  having  no  work  power,  unless  the  work  animals  or  tractors 
were  kept  on  the  tenant-operated  tract. 

Since  the  number  of  tractors  was  obtained  for  only  a  sample 
of  farms,  the  number  of  farms  by  class  of  work  power  represents 
an  estimate. 

Farm  labor. — The  farm-labor  inquiries  for  1054,  made  on  a 
sample  basis,  called  for  the  number  of  persons  doing  farm  work 
or  chores  on  the  place  during  a  specified  calendar  week.  Since 
starting  dates  of  the  1954  enumeration  varied  by  areas  or  States, 
the  calendar  week  to  which  the  farm-labor  inquiries  related 
varied  also.  The  calendar  week  was  September  26-October  2  or 
October  24-30.  States  with  the  September  26-October  2  calendar 
week  were :  Arizona,  California,  Colorado,  Connecticut,  Florida, 
Idaho,  Kansas,  Kentucky,  Louisiana,  Maine,  Massachusetts, 
Michigan,  Minnesota,  Montana,  Nebraska,  Nevada.  New  Hamp- 
shire, New  Jersey,  New  Mexico,  New  York,  North  Dakota,  Okla- 
homa, Oregon,  Pennsylvania,  Rhode  Island,  South  Dakota,  Ten- 
nessee, Texas,  Utah,  Vermont,  Washington,  Wisconsin,  and 
Wyoming.  States  with  the  October  24-30  calendar  week  were : 
Alabama,  Arkansas,  Delaware,  Georgia,  Illinois,  Indiana,  Iowa, 
Maryland,  Mississippi,  Missouri,  North  Carolina,  Ohio,  South 
Carolina,  Virginia,  and  West  Virginia.  Farm  work  was  to  include 
any  work,  chores,  or  planning  necessary  to  the  operation  of  the 
farm  or  ranch  business.  Housework,  contract  construction  work, 
and  labor  involved  when  equipment  was  hired  (custom  work) 
were  not  to  be  included. 

The  farm  labor  information  was  obtained  in  three  parts: 
(1)  Operators  working,  (2)  unpaid  members  of  the  operator's 
family  working,  and  (3)  hired  persons  working.  Operators  were 
considered  as  working  if  they  worked  1  or  more  hours ;  unpaid 
members  of  the  operator's  family,  if  they  worked  15  or  more 
hours ;  and  hired  persons,  if  they  worked  any  time  during  the 
calendar  week  specified.  Instructions  contained  no  specifications 
regarding  age  of  the  persons  working. 

Data  shown  for  earlier  censuses  are  not  fully  comparable  with 
those  for  1054,  primarily  because  of  differences  in  the  period  to 
which  the  data  relate.  The  data  for  1954  were  purposely  related 
to  a  period  of  peak  farm  employment.  During  1950  the  labor  in- 
quiries were  related  to  the  calendar  week  preceding  the  actual 
enumeration.  Although  starting  dates  were  identical  in  all  States 
(April  1,  1950),  Ceveral  weeks  were  required  to  complete  the  field 
work.  Therefore,  the  calendar  week  preceding  the  enumeration 
was  not  the  same  for  all  farms.  For  the  1945  and  1935  Censuses, 
the  number  of  farm  workers  related  to  the  first  week  in  January. 
The  data  for  1940  related  to  the  last  week  in  March.  In  1945, 
1940,  and  1935,  only  persons  working  the  equivalent  of  two  or  more 
days  during  the  specified  week  were  to  be  included.  In  1945  and 
1940,  only  workers  14  years  old  and  over  were  to  be  included.  In 
1935,  as  in  1954  and  1950,  there  was  no  specification  regarding 
the  age  of  the  farm  workers.  No  instructions  were  issued  to 
include  farm  chores  as  farm  work  in  1940  and  1935  Censuses. 

In  censuses  prior  to  1954,  farm-labor  data  were  not  always 
satisfactorily  reported  when  the  specified  week  for  reporting  the 
number  of  persons  employed  did  not  immediately  precede  the 
week  during  which  the  actual  enumeration  was  made.  When  the 
week,  for  which  a  report  for  the  number  of  persons  employed  was 
required,  was  several  weeks  before  the  week  of  enumeration,  the 
farm  operator  or  the  enumerator  often  reported  the  highest  num- 
ber of  persons  employed  during  the  year.  When  it  was  obvious 
that  the  data  were  not  correctly  reported,  adjustments  were  made 
to  make  the  data  reflect  more  nearly  the  situation  during  the 
specified  week.  Because  of  demand  for  the  data,  the  information 
on  number  of  persons  working  on  farms,  for  the  1954  Census, 
relates  to  a  specified  week.     In  some  cases,  this  specified  week  was 


several  weeks  before  the  week  of  actual  enumeration.  However, 
few  adjustments  were  made  in  the  data  for  1954  even  though 
there  were  indications  that  there  was  incorrect  reporting  or  that 
the  report  may  have  referred  to  a  week  other  than  the  week 
specified. 

Regular  and  seasonal  workers. — Hired  persons  working  on  the 
farm  during  the  specified  week  were  classed  as  "regular' 
workers  if  the  period  of  actual  or  expected  employment  was  150 
days  or  more  during  the  year,  and  as  "seasonal"  workers  if  the 
period  of  actual  or  expected  employment  was  less  than  150  days. 
If  the  period  of  expected  employment  was  not  reported,  the 
period  of  employment  was  estimated  for  the  individual  farm 
after  taking  into  account  such  items  as  the  basis  of  payment, 
wage  rate,  expenditures  for  labor  in  1954,  and  the  type  and 
other  characteristics  of  the  farm. 

Hired  workers  by  basis  of  payment. — Hired  persons  were  also 
classified  according  to  the  basis  of  payment.  The  question- 
naire called  for  the  numbers  of  hired  workers  paid  on  a  monthly 
basis,  on  a  weekly  basis,  on  a  daily  basis,  on  an  hourly  basis, 
and  on  a  piecework  basis.  If  the  basis  of  payment  was  not  re- 
ported for  any  of  the  hired  workers,  the  missing  information 
was  supplied. 

Wage  rate  and  hours  worked. — The  rate  of  pay  (except  for 
workers  on  a  piecework  basis)  and  the  hours  that  workers  were 
expected  to  work  to  earn  this  pay  (except  for  workers  on  hourly 
basis  or  on  piecework  basis)  were  asked  for  each  class  of 
worker.  For  1954,  the  data  include  estimates  of  hours  worked 
and  wage  rates  for  questionnaires  incomplete  for  either  of  these 
items.  Estimates  were  based  upon  relationships  existing  on 
nearby  farms  of  similar  size  and  type.  Data  for  1950  for  hours 
worked  and  wage  rates  were  restricted  to  farms  reporting  both 
wage  rates  and  hours  worked. 

Fertilizer  and  lime. — The  1954  questionnaires  contain  inquiries 
on  the  tonnage  and  cost  of  fertilizer  and  liming  material  and 
the  acreage  on  which  they  were  used  during  the  calendar  year 
1954.  Fertilizer  and  lime  used  on  the  place  were  to  be  included 
regardless  of  whether  the  landowner,  tenant,  or  both  paid  for 
them.  Fertilizer  was  to  include  only  commercial  fertilizer  or 
fertilizing  material.  No  specific  mention  was  made  of  basic  slag. 
It  was  thought  that  this  byproduct  of  steel  production  would  be 
considered  as  a  fertilizing  material.  Barnyard  manure,  straw, 
refuse  materials,  and  soil  conditioners  were  to  be  excluded.  Lime 
or  liming  material  was  to  include  ground  limestone,  hydrated  and 
burnt  lime,  marl,  oyster  shells,  etc.  No  mention  was  made  of 
gypsum  but  this  product  was  excluded  in  the  processing  when 
the  entries  for  such  were  detected.  Lime  used  for  sprays  or 
sanitation  purposes  was  to  be  omitted. 

Acres  on  which  purchased  materials  were  used  were  to  be  re- 
ported for  both  lime  and  fertilizer.  In  case  fertilizer  was  applied 
to  the  same  crop  more  than  once  in  1954,  instructions  were  to 
report  acres  of  land  only  once  but  to  report  the  total  tonnage  used. 
The  acres  fertilized  and  tons  applied  were  obtained  separately  for 
selected  crops.  The  selected  crops  varied  by  regions.  This  ar- 
rangement made  it  possible  to  obtain  data  for  crops  most  com- 
monly fertilized  in  the  region. 

For  some  counties,  the  tonnage  of  lime  shown  in  the  table  may 
be  less  than  the  tonnage  reported  for  the  Agricultural  Conserva- 
tion Program.  In  some  cases,  the  difference  may  arise  because  of 
sampling  error  and  in  other  cases,  it  may  be  the  result  of  under- 
reporting by  farm  operators.  Many  of  the  differences  disappear 
when  the  data  are  presented  for  larger  areas. 

In  the  South,  some  landlords,  who  conducted  some  farming 
operations  themselves,  reported  for  their  operations  fertilizer  and 
lime  paid  for  wholly  or  in  part  by  them  for  use  on  their  tenant- 
operated  land.  The  tenants  may  also  have  reported  the  fertilizer 
and  lime.  During  the  editing  procedure  such  reports,  when 
detected,  were  adjusted  to  prevent  duplication  in  the  reports  for 
fertilizer  and  lime  by  landlords  and  their  tenants. 

Specified  farm  expenditures. — The  1954  Census  obtained  data  for 
selected  farm  expense  items  in  addition  to  those  for  fertilizer 
and  lime.  The  expenditures  were  to  include  the  total  specified 
expenditures  for  the  place  whether  made  by  landlord,  tenant, 
or  both. 


INTRODUCTION 


XVII 


Expenditures  for  machine  hire  were  to  include  any  labor  in- 
cluded in  the  cost  of  such  machine  hire.  Machine  hire  refers  to 
custom  machine  work  such  as  tractor  hire,  threshing,  combining, 
silo  filling,  baling,  ginning,  plowing,  and  spraying.  If  part  of 
the  farm  products  was  given  as  pay  for  machine  hire,  the  value 
of  the  products  traded  for  this  service  was  to  be  included  in  the 
amount  of  expenditures  reported.  The  cost  of  trucking,  freight, 
and  express  was  not  to  be  included. 

Expenditures  for  hired  labor  were  to  include  only  cash  pay- 
ments. Expenditures  for  housework,  custom  work,  and  contract 
construction  work  were  not  to  be  included. 

Expenditures  for  feed  were  to  include  the  expenditures  for 
pasture,  salt,  condiments,  concentrates,  and  mineral  supplements, 
as  well  as  those  for  grain,  hay,  and  mill  feeds.  Expenditures  for 
grinding  and  mixing  feeds  were  also  to  be  included.  Payments 
made  by  a  tenant  to  his  landlord  for  feed  grown  on  the  land 
rented  by  the  tenant  were  not  to  be  included. 

Exi>enditures  for  gasoline  and  other  petroleum  fuel  and  oil 
were  to  include  only  those  used  for  the  farm  business.  Petroleum 
products  used  for  the  farmer's  automobile  for  pleasure  or  used 
exclusively  in  the  farm  home  for  heating,  cooking,  and  lighting 
were  not  to  be  included. 

Farm-mortgage  debt. — Data  on  farm-mortgage  debt  will  be  con- 
tained in  a  special  report  (Part  5  of  Volume  III)  to  be  issued  in 
1956.  This  report  will  contain  data  only  for  States  and  larger 
geographic  areas. 

Crops 

Crops  harvested. — The  agriculture  questionnaire  was  organized 
to  make  possible  the  listing  of  acreage  and  quantity  harvested  for 
each  crop.  To  facilitate  the  enumerator's  work,  specific  crop 
questions  were  varied  according  to  areas  (usually  each  area  com- 
prised a  State  or  a  group  of  States).  Regionalizing  question- 
naires made  it  possible  to  devote  special  attention  to  the  more 
important  crops  for  a  given  area  and  also  to  use  the  unit  of 
measure  that  was  in  most  common  use  in  the  area. 

In  most  instances,  the  harvested  acreage  that  was  reported 
for  individual  crops  represents  the  area  harvested  for  the  1954 
crop  year.  An  exception  was  made  for  land  in  fruit  orchards, 
vineyards,  and  planted  nut  trees ;  in  this  case  the  acreage  repre- 
sents that  in  both  bearing  and  nonbearing  trees  and  vines  as  of 
the  date  of  enumeration  (usually  October  or  November  1954). 
The  acreage  harvested  for  various  crops  is  often  less  than  the 
acreage  planted. 

With  three  exceptions,  citrus  fruits,  olives,  and  avocados,  figures 
for  quantity  harvested  represent  the  amount  actually  harvested 
during  the  1954  crop  year.  Citrus  fruit  production  was  to  be  re- 
ported for  the  1953-1954  marketing  season  (from  the  bloom  of 
1953).  Olive  and  avocado  production  for  California  related  to 
the  quantity  harvested  from  the  1953  bloom  (an  instruction  to 
enumerators  referred  to  the  marketing  season  which  began 
October  1,  1953).  In  Florida,  the  avocado  production  period, 
according  to  the  Enumerator's  Instruction  Book,  was  to  include 
the  quantity  harvested  from  the  1953  bloom  (the  harvesting  sea- 
son extending  from  July  1,  1953,  to  June  30,  1954). 

The  unit  of  measure  used  for  reporting  the  quantity  harvested 
for  some  crops  has  varied,  not  only  from  State  to  State,  but  from 
census  to  census,  to  permit  reporting  in  units  of  measure  cur- 
rently in  use.  In  the  State  and  county  tables,  figures  on  quantity 
harvested  for  each  crop  are  shown  in  the  unit  of  measure  appear- 
ing on  the  1954  Agriculture  Questionnaire.  When  required,  data 
for  earlier  years  were  converted  into  units  of  measure  differing 
from  those  which  were  used  in  the  published  reports  for  those 
years. 

Corn. — The  inquiries  regarding  corn  acreage  and  quantity  har- 
vested were  not  the  same  in  all  States.  In  areas  where  farmers 
frequently  use  units  of  measure  such  as  baskets,  barrels,  etc.,  the 
questionnaire  permitted  the  reporting  of  quantity  harvested  in 
bushels  or  in  an  alternative  unit  of  measure.     When  alternative 


units  of  measure  other  than  bushels  (shelled  basis)  were  reported 
on  the  questionnaire,  the  quantity  was  converted  into  bushels 
prior  to  tabulation.  As  in  former  censuses,  farmers  in  certain 
areas  had  a  tendency  to  report  the  quantity  of  corn  harvested  in 
terms  of  baskets  of  ear  corn,  barrels,  or  some  unit  other  than 
bushels  of  corn  on  a  shelled  basis.  Such  reports,  when  detected, 
were  corrected  to  represent  the  equivalent  bushels  of  70  pounds  of 
ear  corn  or  56  pounds  of  shelled  corn. 

Annual  legumes. — Acres  and  quantity  harvested  for  the  most 
important  uses  of  soybeans,  cowpeas,  and  peanuts,  as  well  as 
the  total  acreage  grown  for  all  purposes,  were  obtained  for 
areas  where  these  crops  are  grown  extensively.  The  total  acreage 
grown  for  all  purposes  includes  some  acreage  not  harvested  as 
the  acreage  plowed  under  for  green  manure  was  included.  In 
certain  States,  separate  figures  were  obtained  for  the  acres  grown 
alone  and  the  acres  grown  with  other  crops.  For  the  1954  Census, 
enumerators  were  instructed  to  report  acres  and  value  of  sales 
for  cowpeas  harvested  for  green  peas  with  vegetables  harvested 
for  sale.  For  1949,  the  total  acreage  of  vegetables  harvested  for 
sale,  shown  in  State  and  county  tables,  includes  the  acres  of 
cowpeas  harvested  for  green  peas  for  the  following  States :  Ala- 
bama, Florida,  Georgia,  Louisiana,  Mississippi,  North  Carolina, 
South  Carolina,  and  Texas.  However,  for  1949  the  number  of 
farms  reporting  and  the  value  of  vegetables  harvested  for  sale 
do  not  include  farms  reporting  or  the  value  of  cowpeas  harvested 
for  green  peas. 

Hay  crops. — The  tables  contain  data  regarding  the  total  acres 
of  land  from  which  hay  was  cut.  Sorghum,  soybean,  cowpea,  and 
peanut  hays  were  excluded  from  this  total  as  separate  questions 
were  provided  in  those  States  where  these  crops  are  important. 
The  figures  for  total  land  from  which  hay  was  cut  for  1954  were 
obtained  by  adding  the  acres  of  the  various  hay  crops,  including 
grass  silage,  for  each  county.  The  comparable  figures  for  the  1950 
Census  were  obtained  by  an  inquiry  of  the  farm  operator.  Alfalfa 
hay  includes  any  production  which  was  dehydrated.  The  tonnage 
of  alfalfa  hay  for  dehydration  (as  well  as  that  for  other  hays 
but  not  for  grass  silage)  is  given  on  a  dry-weight  basis. 

Enumerators  and  farmers  were  instructed  to  report  the  total 
quantity  of  hay  harvested  from  all  cuttings,  but  to  report  only 
once  the  acres  of  land  from  which  more  than  one  cutting  was 
made.  For  1954,  alfalfa  hay  included  alfalfa  and  alfalfa  mix- 
tures. Likewise,  clover  and  timothy  hay  included  clover  and 
timothy  and  mixtures  of  clover  and  grasses.  For  1950,  the  agri- 
culture questionnaire  contained  instructions  to  report  mixed  hay 
under  the  kind  of  hay  that  made  up  the  largest  part  of  the  mix- 
ture. The  differences  in  the  instructions  for  reporting  mixed 
hays  affect  the  comparability  of  the  data  for  the  1954  and  prior 
censuses.  The  kinds  of  hay  to  be  reported  under  "Other  hay" 
varied  from  State  to  State,  and  can  be  determined  for  a  specific 
State  by  referring  to  the  copy  of  the  questionnaire  in  the 
Appendix. 

Clover  seed,  alfalfa,  grass  and  other  field  seed  crops. — The  1954 
questionnaire  contained  separate  inquiries  for  a  number  of  the 
field  seed  crops  and  provided  a  question  on  "other  field  seed 
crops"  for  the  purpose  of  obtaining  information  for  all  minor  field 
seed  crops  harvested. 

Irish  potatoes  and  sweetpotatoes. — The  1954  Census  inquiry  for 
both  Irish  and  sweet  potatoes  called  for  acres  harvested  and  the 
quantity  harvested.  If  less  than  20  bushels  (or  10  bags  in  speci- 
fied States)  of  Irish  potatoes  or  if  less  than  20  bushels  of  sweet- 
potatoes  were  harvested,  the  enumerator  was  instructed  to 
report  the  quantity  harvested,  but  not  the  area  harvested.  This 
method  of  reporting  was  used  in  order  to  facilitate  the  enumera- 
tion of  potatoes  grown  on  small  plots  for  home  use.  The  pro- 
cedure and  inquiries  for  both  Irish  potatoes  and  sweetpotatoes 
were  essentially  the  same  for  1950.  Data  for  censuses  prior  to 
1950  are  not  entirely  comparable  with  those  for  1950  and  1954. 
Earlier  censuses  did  not  eliminate  the  acres  of  the  small  plot — 
home-use  production  of  Irish  potatoes  and  sweetpotatoes.    There-

UNITED  STATES  CENSUS  OF  AGRICULTURE:  1954 


fore,  especially  in  counties  or  States  where  the  production  of 
potatoes  is  largely  for  home  use,  the  data  on  acres  for  1954  and 
19.10  are  not  fully  comparable  with  those  for  earlier  censuses. 

Berries  and  other  small  fruits.— The  questionnaire  called  for 
acreage  and  quantity  harvested  in  1954  for  sale.  Nonbearing 
areas  and  areas  from  which  berries  or  fruits  were  not  harvested 
for  sale  were  not  to  be  reported.  Separate  inquiries  were  carried 
on  the  questionnaire  for  such  berries  as  strawberries,  black- 
berries, and  raspberries  (tame)  in  States  where  production  of 
these  crops  was  important  commercially. 

Tree  fruits,  nuts,  and  grapes.— For  1954,  the  number  of  trees  or 
vines  and  the  quantity  harvested  were  not  enumerated  if  there 
was  a  total  of  less  than  20  fruit  or  nut  trees  and  grai>evines  on 
the  farm.  For  censuses  prior  to  1954,  enumerators  were  in- 
structed to  report  the  number  of  fruit  or  nut  trees  and  grape- 
vines and  the  quantity  harvested,  regardless  of  how  many  trees 
or  grai>evines  were  on  the  farm.  Because  of  this  change  in 
instructions,  the  data  for  1954  are  not  fully  comparable  with 
those  for  prior  censuses.  In  commercial  fruit-producing  counties, 
the  change  in  instructions  may  have  affected  considerably  the 
number  of  farms  reporting,  but  had  little  effect  on  the  number 
of  trees  or  the  quantity  harvested.  On  the  other  hand,  in  counties 
where  most  of  the  fruit  and  nut  trees  and  grai>evines  are  in  small 
plantings,  largely  for  producing  fruit  or  nuts  for  consumption  on 
the  farm,  the  change  in  instructions  may  have  resulted  in  a  reduc- 
tion not  only  in  the  number  of  farms  reporting,  but  also  in  the 
number  of  fruit  and  nut  trees  and  grapevines,  as  well  as  in  the 
quantity  harvested. 

For  1954,  the  acreage  in  fruit  orchards,  groves,  vineyards,  and 
planted  nut  trees  was  not  enumerated  if  there  were  less  than  20 
fruit  or  nut  trees  and  grapevines  on  the  farm.  For  the  1950 
Census,  enumerators  were  instructed  not  to  report  the  area  in 
fruit  orchards,  groves,  vineyards,  and  planted  nut  trees  if  the 
area  was  less  than  one-half  acre.  For  censuses  prior  to  1950, 
enumerators  were  instructed  to  report  the  area  in  all  orchards, 
vineyards,  and  planted  nut  trees  regardless  of  size  of  the  area. 
However,  frequently  enumerators  did  not  report  the  area  for 
small  fruit  plantings  and  home  orchards.  In  areas  where  small 
fruit  and  nut  plantings  or  home  orchards  comprise  a  considerable 
part  of  the  total  fruit  and  nut  acreage,  considerable  change  may 
be  indicated  from  census  to  census  in  the  acreage  of  land  in  fruit 
trees,  planted  nut  trees,  and  grapevines  because  of  differences  in 
enumeration  procedures  or  in  the  enumerators'  application  of  the 
instructions. 

In  the  regional  questionnaire  for  Arizona  and  California,  the 
acreage  in  each  individual  fruit  and  nut  crop  was  secured. 

The  acreage  in  fruit  and  planted  nut  trees  and  grapevines  does 
not  usually  include  the  acreage  of  wild  pecans  that  were  not 
planted.  For  Maine,  the  acreage  in  cropland  harvested  includes 
the  acreage  from  which  wild  blueberries  were  harvested. 

The  unit  of  measure  used  for  the  quantity  of  fruits,  grapes,  and 
nuts  harvested  varied  from  State  to  State.  Tables  in  this  report 
show  the  quantity  harvested  in  the  unit  of  measure  appearing  on 
the  1954  Agriculture  Questionnaire. 

Nursery  and  greenhouse  products. — The  agriculture  question- 
naire included  three  inquiries  relating  to  horticultural-specialty 
crops.  One  called  for  acres  and  value  of  sales  in  1954  of  nursery 
products  (trees,  shrubs,  vines,  ornamentals,  etc.).  Another  asked 
for  the  area  grown  under  glass;  area  grown  in  the  open  ;  and  value 
of  sales  of  cut  flowers,  potted  plants,  florist  greens,  and  bedding 
plants.  The  third  called  for  area  grown  under  glass  or  in  house ; 
area  grown  in  the  open;  and  value  of  sales  of  vegetables  grown 
under  glass,  flower  seeds,  vegetable  seeds,  vegetable  plants,  bulbs, 
and  mushrooms.  The  inquiries  in  1954  were  essentially  the  same 
as  those  used  in  the  1950  Census. 

Value  of  crops  harvested  and  value  of  crops  sold. — The  total 
value  of  crops  harvested  represents  the  value  of  all  crops  harvested 
during  the  crop  year  1954.  It  includes  the  value  of  the  part  of 
the  crop  consumed  on  the  farm  and  the  value  of  the  part  of  the 


crop  used  for  seed  on  the  farm,  as  well  as  the  value  of  the  part 
of  the  crop  that  was  sold. 

Farmers  were  not  asked  to  report  the  value  of  crops  harvested. 
The  values  were  calculated  in  the  central  office  by  multiplying  the 
quantity  harvested  for  each  crop  by  the  average  price  at  which  the 
crop  was  sold  in  the  State.  These  State  average  prices  were  ob- 
tained cooperatively  by  the  Agricultural  Marketing  Service, 
United  States  Department  of  Agriculture,  and  the  Bureau  of  the 
Census.  The  prices  are  based  on  reports  provided  by  a  sample  of 
farmers  and  dealers.  However,  average  prices  were  not  calculated 
for  vegetables  harvested  for  sale,  nursery  and  greenhouse  prod- 
ucts, and  forest  products.  In  the  absence  of  the  value  of  quan- 
tities harvested  for  these  products,  the  value  of  sales  which  was 
obtained  in  the  enumeration  was  used  in  calculating  the  total 
value  of  crops  harvested. 

State  Table  16  gives  data  for  the  value  of  that  part  of  each 
crop  sold.  The  questionnaire  did  not  call  for  reports  of  sales 
(quantity  sold  or  the  value  of  sales)  for  all  crops.  Estimates  of 
the  quantities  sold  were  made  in  the  central  office  for  those  crops 
for  which  the  quantity  sold  was  not  enumerated.  (For  the  pro- 
cedure used  in  estimating  the  quantity  of  each  crop  sold,  see 
Value  of  farm  products  sold,  page  XXIII.)  For  each  crop,  the 
quantity  sold  was  multiplied  by  the  average  State  price  in  order  to 
obtain  the  value  of  the  quantity  sold.  Enumerators  and  farmers 
were  instructed  to  report  the  landlord's  share  as  sold  unless  it 
was  used  for  feed  or  seed  on  the  place  where  it  was  produced. 

In  1950,  the  value  of  crops  sold  was  obtained  by  inquiry  of 
each  farm  operator  during  the  enumeration. 

Forest  products. — The  forest  products  data  obtained  by  the 
Census  relate  only  to  those  products  cut  on  farms.  Commercial 
logging,  timber  operations,  and  forest  products  cut  on  places 
not  counted  as  farms  are  excluded.  Therefore,  the  data  pub- 
lished do  not  show  the  total  forestry  output  and  income  for  a 
county  or  State. 

The  questions  included  in  the  1954  questionnaire  were  essen- 
tially the  same  as  those  for  1950.  However,  a  change  was  made 
in  the  enumeration  of  the  sales  of  standing  timber.  In  1950,  a 
special  question  asked  for  "sales  from  standing  timber,"  while  in 
1954,  instructions  were  to  report  any  standing  timber  cut  as  saw- 
logs  and  veneer  logs. 

Irrigation 

Irrigated  land  was  defined  as  land  to  which  water  was  applied 
by  artificial  means  for  agricultural  purposes.  Water  applied  by 
suhirrigation  was  included  as  well  as  that  applied  to  the  surface. 
Irrigated  land  included  land  irrigated  by  a  sprinkler  system. 
Land  flooded  during  high-water  periods  was  to  be  considered  as 
irrigated  land  only  if  water  was  purposely  applied  for  agri- 
cultural purposes  by  means  of  dams,  canals,  or  other  works. 
Regulation  of  the  "water  table"  by  drainage  works  was  not  to  be 
included  as  irrigation. 

There  were  two  groups  of  irrigation  inquiries  used  for  the 
1954  Census.  One  group  was  used  in  the  17  Western  States 
(Arizona,  California,  Colorado,  Idaho,  Kansas,  Montana,  Ne- 
braska, Nevada,  New  Mexico,  North  Dakota,  Oklahoma,  Oregon, 
South  Dakota,  Texas,  Utah,  Washington,  and  Wyoming)  and  in 
Arkansas,  Florida,  and  Louisiana.  The  other  group  was  used 
in  the  remaining  28  States.  In  the  17  Western  States  and  Arkan- 
sas, Florida,  and  Louisiana,  the  agriculture  questionnaire  con- 
tained several  inquiries  regarding  irrigation.  These  inquiries 
related  to  the  area  of  irrigated  land  from  which  crops  were 
harvested  and  the  names  of  the  crops  for  which  the  entire  acreage 
harvested  was  irrigated  in  1954.  In  all  of  these  States  except 
Arkansas  and  Louisiana,  the  area  of  irrigated  pasture  was  also 
obtained.  In  the  remaining  States,  the  agriculture  question- 
naire called  for  only  the  total  acres  irrigated  in  1954.  This 
acreage  may  have  been  used  for  harvested  crops,  soil-improvement 
crops,  or  for  pasture. 

The  inquiries  relating  to  irrigation  for  the  1954  Census  were 
essentially  the  same  as  those  for  the  1950  Census.     However,  in 


INTRODUCTION 


XIX 


1950,  irrigated  land  from  which  no  crop  was  harvested  was  in- 
cluded as  irrigated  land,  while  such  acreage  was  not  obtained  in 
1954. 

Considerable  data  are  published  regarding  irrigation  in  the 
17  Western  States  and  Arakansas,  Florida,  and  Louisiana.  The 
following  definitions  apply  to  these  States : 

Irrigated  farms. — These  are  farms  reporting  land  irrigated. 
Data  on  land  in  irrigated  farms  and  on  land  in  irrigated  farms 
according  to  use  include  the  entire  acreage  of  land  in  these  farms, 
whether  irrigated  or  not. 

land  irrigated. — This  relates  only  to  that  part  of  the  land  in 
irrigated  farms  to  which  water  was  applied.  However,  for 
Arkansas  and  Louisiana  the  total  for  irrigated  land  does  not 
include  land  used  solely  for  pasture  or  grazing.  For  the  17 
Western  States  and  for  Arkansas,  Florida,  and  Louisiana,  this 
total  does  not  include  irrigated  cropland  that  was  not  harvested 
and  not  pastured. 

Irrigated  land  in  farms  according  to  use. — This  classification 
provides  data  on  the  use  of  irrigated  land  in  farms  and  includes 
that  part  of  the  cropland  harvested  that  was  irrigated  as  well 
as  that  portion  of  the  land  pastured  to  which  water  was  applied. 

Farms  with  all  harvested  crops  irrigated. — These  are  all  "irri- 
gated farms"  on  which  all  crops  harvested  were  grown  on  irri- 
gated land. 

Irrigated  crops  harvested. — The  data  for  irrigated  crops  har- 
vested include  (1)  the  acreage  of  crops  harvested  on  irrigated 
farms  on  which  all  harvested  crops  were  irrigated  and  (2)  the 
acreage  of  those  crops  which  were  wholly  irrigated  on  farms 
where  a  part  of,  or  all  of,  other  harvested  crops  were  not  irrigated. 
Thus,  the  reported  acreage  in  irrigated  crops  may  not  include  the 
total  acreage  of  each  harvested  crop  grown  on  irrigated  land,  but 
the  exclusions  are  minor.  However,  in  the  case  of  vegetables 
harvested  for  sale  and  orchard  fruits  and  nuts,  the  data  for  farms 
reporting  number  of  trees,  value  of  sales,  etc.,  relate  only  to  those 
crops  harvested  on  farms  on  which  all  crops  were  irrigated. 

Land-Use  and  Conservation  Practices 

Land  in  cover  crops  turned  under  for  gTeen  manure. — The  data 
for  this  item  represent  land  on  which  a  cover  crop  was  turned 
under  in  1954  and  another  crop  was  planted  for  harvest  after  1954. 
Such  acreages  were  to  be  reported  even  though  the  succeeding 
crop  may  later  have  failed.  This  inquiry  was  not  made  in  Ari- 
zona, California,  Colorado,  Idaho,  Kansas,  Montana,  Nebraska, 
Nevada,  New  Mexico,  North  Dakota,  Oklahoma,  Oregon,  South 
Dakota,  Utah,  Washington,  Wyoming,  and  the  western  part  of 
Texas. 

Stripcropping. — The  data  for  stripcropping  relates  to  the  area 
of  row  crops  or  close-seeded  crops  that  were  grown  in  strips  across 
the  path  of  prevailing  winds  to  prevent  or  reduce  the  blowing 
of  topsoil.  This  question  was  included  only  in  Colorado,  Idaho, 
Kansas,  Montana,  Nebraska,  Nevada,  New  Mexico,  North  Dakota, 
Oklahoma,  Oregon,  South  Dakota,  Utah,  Washington,  Wyoming, 
and  the  western  part  of  Texas. 

Cropland  used  for  grain  or  row  crops  farmed  on  the  contour. — 
This  is  the  area  for  all  grain  and  row  crops  that  were  planted 
around  the  slope  to  maintain  comparatively  level  rows  instead  of 
being  planted  in  straight  rows  running  up  and  down  the  slope. 

Livestock  and  Poultry 

The  1954  questionnaire  called  for  an  inventory  of  or  for  some 
phase  of  production  for  all  the  important  kinds  of  farm  animals 
and  poultry.  Respondents  were  asked  for  the  numbers  on  hand 
on  tiie  day  of  enumeration.  Livestock  were  to  be  enumerated  on 
the  place  on  which  they  were  located,  regardless  of  ownership. 
Livestock  grazing  in  national  forests,  grazing  districts,  or  on  open 
range  at  the  time  of  enumeration  were  to  be  reported  for  the  farm 
or  ranch  to  which  they  belonged. 

The  time  of  the  year  at  which  livestock  and  poultry  were 
enumerated  influences  greatly  the  resulting  data.  Therefore,  the 
date  of  the  enumeration  needs  to  be  considered  when  comparing 


1954  totals  with  those  for  corresponding  items  for  the  1950  or 
prior  censuses.  The  1950  data  represented  a  spring  inventory 
(April  1, 1950),  while  the  current  census  provided  a  fall  inventory. 
The  1954  enumeration  came  at  a  time  of  large  scale  movement 
of  flocks  and  herds  from  one  range  to  another,  from  ranch  to 
feeder,  and  from  farm  or  ranch  to  market. 

The  censuses  of  agriculture  beginning  with  1920  and  continuing 
through  1950  were  taken  as  of  either  April  1  or  January  1.  The 
censuses  taken  in  the  years  ending  in  "0"  were  taken  as  of  April 
1,  while  the  censuses  taken  in  the  years  ending  in  "5"  were  taken 
as  of  January  1.  An  enumeration  made  in  April  results  in  a 
count  that  differs  considerably  from  a  count  made  in  January. 
In  most  areas  a  large  number  of  animals  are  born  between 
January  and  April.  On  the  other  hand,  a  considerable  number 
of  older  animals  are  sold  or  die  during  the  3-month  period, 
January  to  April.  In  the  range  States,  sheep  and  cattle  are 
moved,  with  the  change  in  season  and  grazing  condition,  from  one 
locality,  or  country,  to  another.  This  movement  may  affect  the 
comparability  of  data  for  counties  and,  in  some  cases,  for  States. 
The  comparability  of  the  data  for  the  number  of  livestock  and 
poultry  has  also  been  affected  by  changes  in  age  groups  and 
questionnaire  inquiries  from  census  to  census.  State  Table  12 
presents  a  description  of  the  various  age  and  sex  groups  of  live- 
stock and  poultry  for  each  census  from  1920  to  1954. 

Milk  cows;  cows  milked;  milk  sold. — Data  on  number  of  cows 
milked  and  milk  production  relate  to  the  day  preceding  the 
enumeration. 

Questionnaires  in  25  States,  chiefly  western  and  midwestern, 
provided  three  alternative  units  of  measure  for  enumerators  and 
respondents  to  report  whole  milk  sales:  (1)  Pounds  of  milk, 
(2)  pounds  of  butterfat,  and  (3)  gallons  of  milk.  In  the  other 
States,  sales  of  whole  milk  on  the  basis  of  butterfat  content 
were  considered  relatively  unimportant  and.  therefore,  the  unit  of 
measure  (pounds  of  butterfat)  was  omitted  from  the  question- 
naire. However,  for  publication  by  States,  the  reports  for  whole 
milk  sold  were  converted  into  a  unit  of  measure  common  to  the 
particular  State.  Pounds  of  butterfat  were  converted  into  gal- 
lons or  pounds  of  whole  milk  on  the  basis  of  the  average  butterfat 
content  of  whole  milk,  as  shown  by  data  furnished  by  the  Agri- 
cultural Marketing  Service  of  the  United  States  Department  of 
Agriculture. 

The  tables  for  economic  areas  contain  figures  on  total  milk 
sold.  These  figures  represent  the  total  equivalent  of  milk  and 
pounds  of  butterfat  in  cream  sold  in  terms  of  whole  milk. 

Total  sales  of  all  dairy  products  for  1954  are  not  entirely 
comparable  with  those  for  1949.  The  value  of  sales  for  whole 
milk  and  cream  was  included  in  both  the  1954  and  1945  Censuses. 
In  1950,  the  value  of  the  sales  of  butter,  buttermilk,  and  cheese 
was  obtained ;  the  value  of  these  products  was  not  included  in 
1954. 

Sows  and  gilts  .farrowing. — The  1954  questionnaire  asked  for 
spring  litters  by  an  inquiry  on  the  number  of  sows  and  gilts  far- 
rowing between  December  1,  1953,  and  June  1,  1954,  and  for  fall 
litters  by  an  inquiry  on  the  number  of  sows  and  gilts  farrowing 
since  June  1,  but  before  December  1,  1954.  The  inquiry  relating 
to  sows  farrowing  or  expected  to  farrow  during  the  fall  was  in- 
cluded in  the  census  for  the  first  time  in  1954.  The  1954  data  for 
spring  farrowings  (sows  and  gilts  farrowing  between  December 
1,  1953,  and  June  1,  1954)  are  comparable  with  those  for  1950. 
Since  no  data  were  obtained  in  1950  for  fall  farrowing,  only  the 
1954  data  for  farrowing  after  June  1  are  given.  For  a  number  of 
counties,  the  ratio  of  sows  farrowing  to  the  number  <>f  ho^s  and 
pigs  on  hand,  plus  those  sold,  may  be  low  because  bogs  or  pigs 
were  shipped  into  the  county  for  feeding.  Adjust  incuts  in  the 
number  of  sows  farrowing  were  made  both  for  spring  and  fall 
litters  when  there  was  substantial  evidence  that  the  Dumber  of 
sows  farrowing  was  not  reported.  The  adjustments  were  made 
largely  in  counties  outside  the  major  hog-producing  areas. 

Sheep  and  lambs  and  wool. — Questionnaires  for  all  States,  ex- 
cept Florida,  Georgia,  and  South  Carolina,  contained  inquiries 


XX 


UNITED  STATES  CENSUS  OF  AGRICULTURE:  1954 


regarding  sheep  and  lambs.  In  Florida,  Georgia,  and  South 
Carolina,  the  enumerator  was  instructed  to  report  the  number  of 
sheep  and  lambs  in  the  remarks  section.  However,  no  data  on 
the  number  of  sheep  and  lambs  or  on  wool  production  were  com- 
piled for  these  3  States  for  1954. 

Goati  and  mohair. — In  Louisiana,  New  Mexico,  Oklahoma,  Ore- 
gon, Texas,  Washington,  and  selected  counties  in  Missouri,  special 
questions  were  provided  for  reporting  goats  and  mohair.  These 
questions  called  for  the  number  of  all  goats,  Angora  goats,  and 
other  goats,  separately,  and  for  the  number  of  goats  clipped  and 
pounds  of  mohair  clipped  in  1954. 

Bees  and  honey. — Provision  was  not  made  for  reporting  bees 
or  honey  for  the  1954  Census. 

Value  of  livestock  on  farnn.— The  values  for  1954  shown  in 
State  Table  13  were  secured  by  multiplying  the  number  of  each 
class  of  livestock  or  poultry  on  hand  by  the  State  average  price. 
These  prices  were  obtained  cooperatively  by  the  Agricultural 
Marketing  Service,  United  States  Department  of  Agriculture,  and 
the  Bureau  of  the  Census. 

Livestock  prodncti. — The  inquiries  regarding  livestock  produc- 
tion and  sales  relate  to  the  calendar  year  1954,  and  those  for 
sales  of  livestock  products  relate  to  the  products  produced  in 
1954. 

Salet  of  live  animals. — The  1954  questionnaire  called  for  the 
number  and  value  of  sales  of  animals  sold  alive  from  the  place 
during  1954.  The  questions  used  were  similar  to  those  used  in 
the  1950  Census.  The  difference  in  the  time  of  enumeration  for 
the  two  censuses  may  have  affected  the  comparability  of  the  data. 
Since  the  1954  Census  was  a  fall  enumeration,  an  additional 
problem  was  involved  in  getting  Information  on  animals  sold 
alive.  It  was  necessary  not  only  to  ask  the  respondent  for  sales 
he  had  made  during  1954  prior  to  the  date  of  the  enumeration, 
but  also  for  an  estimate  of  sales  he  would  make  during  the  re- 
mainder of  1954.  Some  respondents  may  not  have  reported  sales 
to  be  made  after  the  enumeration  but  before  December  31,  1954. 
No  data  are  available  to  indicate  the  extent  of  under-reporting 
of  sales  of  livestock  and  poultry. 

Poultry  and  poultry  product*. — For  the  1954  Census,  chicken 
sales  were  subdivided  Into  sales  of  (1)  broilers  and  (2)  other 
chickens.  This  is  the  first  census  in  which  broilers  were  enumer- 
ated separately.  The  enumeration  of  broilers  presented  problems 
because  of  the  varied  contractual  arrangements  under  which 
broilers  are  produced.  The  agriculture  questionnaire  contained 
the  following  instruction :  "Report  all  broilers  sold  from  this 
place  including  those  raised  for  others  under  contract."  In  a 
number  of  cases,  young  chickens  were  reported  as  broilers  sold. 
Entries  of  less  than  1,000  chickens  or  broilers  sold,  for  individual 
farms,  were  tabulated  as  other  chickens  sold. 

Sampling 

Sampling  was  used  for  the  1954  Census  of  Agriculture  in  two 
ways.  First,  information  on  fertilizer  and  lime,  farm  expendi- 
tures, farm  labor,  off-farm  work,  facilities  and  equipment  on  the 
place,  farm  value,  and  mortgage  debt,  was  enumerated  for  only 
a  sample  of  farms.  (The  information  in  Sections  VIII  through 
XIII  of  the  questionnaire  was  obtained  only  for  the  farms  in  the 
sample.  See  Appendix  for  copy  of  the  questionnaire.)  Second, 
some  tabulations  were  prepared  on  the  basis  of  a  sample  of  farms. 
As  a  result,  a  greater  volume  of  data  could  be  published  than  if 
the  reports  for  all  farms  had  been  used  for  every  tabulation.  Most 
of  the  data  shown  in  this  report  by  State  economic  areas  are 
estimates  prepared  on  the  basis  of  the  tabulation  of  data  for  the 
sample  of  farms.  These  tabulations  are  for  the  same  sample  of 
farms  for  which  data  were  collected  on  a  sample  basis  during  the 
enumeration. 

Description  of  the  sample  for  the  1954  Census. — The  sample  used 
for  the  1954  Census  of  Agriculture  consisted  of  specified  farms 
(see  page  XII  for  a  description  of  specified  farms)  and  one-fifth 


of  the  remaining  farms.    Thus,  the  sample  included  slightly  more 
than  20  percent  of  all  farms. 

The  actual  selection  of  farms  in  the  sample  was  made  by 
census  enumerators  as  part  of  the  enumeration  procedure.  The 
enumerator  listed  the  head  of  each  household  on  a  single  line  of 
the  Enumerator's  Record  Book,  and  determined  whether  an 
agriculture  questionnaire  was  to  be  obtained.  If  he  was  re- 
quired to  fill  a  questionnaire,  he  entered  the  "number  of  acres  in 
this  place"  in  accordance  with  question  11  of  the  agriculture 
questionnaire.  On  the  basis  of  the  number  of  acres  in  this  place, 
the  enumerator  recorded  a  check  mark  in  one  of  five  squares  that 
provided  for  the  recording  of  each  farm  in  one  of  five  size-of- 
farm  groups.  All  the  squares  for  farms  with  1,000  or  more  acres 
were  lightly  shaded  and  a  random  fifth  of  the  squares  for  each 
of  the  other  four  size  groups  was  also  lightly  shaded.  (See  Ap- 
pendix for  an  example  of  a  page  of  the  Enumerator's  Record 
Book.)  If  the  respondent  was  listed  on  a  line  for  which  the 
shaded  square  corresponded  to  the  size  of  his  farm,  his  farm 
was  included  in  the  sample.  The  agriculture  questionnaire  con- 
tained one  or  more  inquiries  at  the  beginning  of  Section  VIII — 
the  first  section  containing  inquiries  to  be  asked  for  only  a  sam- 
ple of  farms  (See  copy  of  questionnaire  in  Appendix) — for  the 
guidance  of  the  enumerator  as  to  whether  the  questionnaire  was 
for  a  farm  to  be  included  in  the  sample  and  whether  the  farm 
qualified  as  a  specified  farm. 

Adjustment  of  the  sample.— An  adjustment  in  the  20  percent 
part  of  the  sample  was  made  by  a  process  essentially  equivalent  to 
stratifying  the  farms  in  the  sample  by  size,  for  the  purpose  of 
(1)  improving  the  reliability  of  the  estimates  from  the  sample 
on  an  economic  area  level,  and  (2)  for  the  purpose  of  reducing 
the  effects  of  possible  biases  introduced  because  some  census 
enumerators  did  not  follow  perfectly  the  method  devised  for  se- 
lecting the  farms  in  the  sample.  In  order  to  adjust  the  sample 
for  each  State  economic  area,  counts  were  obtained  of  all  farms 
and  of  sample  farms  for  each  of  ten  size-of-farm  groups  based 
on  "acres  in  this  place."  The  ten  size-of-farm  groups  were  as 
follows :  Under  10  acres.  10-29  acres,  3049  acres,  50-69  acres, 
70-99  acres,  100-139  a<Tes,  140-179  acres.  180-259  acres,  260-499 
acres,  and  500-999  acres.  In  determining  the  extent  of  the  adjust- 
ment, the  difference  between  the  number  of  farms  in  the  sample 
and  the  total  number  of  farms  divided  by  five  was  obtained  for 
each  size  group.  The  actual  adjustment  for  the  size  group  was 
made  by  either  eliminating  or  duplicating,  on  a  random  basis, 
farms  in  those  counties  of  the  State  economic  area  where  the 
greatest  over-  or  under-representation  existed. 

Method  of  estimation. — Data  which  are  based  on  the  sample  of 
farms  were  expanded  to  represent  figures  for  all  farms.  The 
expanded  figure  for  an  item  was  obtained  by  multiplying  by  five 
the  tabulated  total  for  that  item  for  the  farms  in  the  20  percent 
part  of  the  sample  and  adding  the  total  for  the  specified  farms. 

Keliability  of  estimates  based  on  the  sample. — The  estimates 
based  on  the  tabulation  of  data  for  a  sample  of  farms  are  subject 
to  sampling  errors.  When  data  based  on  a  sample  of  farms  are 
shown  in  the  same  table  with  data  for  all  farms,  the  data  based 
on  a  sample  are  shown  in  italics.  In  case  all  the  data  in  a  table 
are  estimates  based  on  a  sample,  a  headnote  for  the  table  indicates 
that  the  data  are  estimates  based  on  a  sample  of  farms.  Approxi- 
mate measures  of  the  sampling  reliability  of  estimates  are  given 
in  State  Tables  18  and  19  for  farms  reporting  and  for  item  totals. 
These  measures  indicate  the  general  level  of  sampling  reliability 
of  the  estimates,  but  do  not  include  adequate  allowances  for 
sources  of  error  other  than  sampling  variation  as,  for  example, 
errors  in  original  data  furnished  by  farmers.  Sources  of  error 
other  than  sampling  may  be  relatively  more  important  than 
sampling  variation,  especially  for  totals  for  a  State. 

In  general,  the  measures  of  sampling  reliability  presented  are 
conservative  in  that  they  tend  to  overestimate  the  variations  in 
sample  estimates,  because  ( 1 )  the  predicted  limits  of  error  do  not 
always  take  fully  into  consideration  that  complete  data  were 


INTRODUCTION 


XXI 


tabulated  for  all  specified  farms  and  (2)  the  maximum  figures  in- 
tended to  serve  for  all  economic  areas  were  used.  Consequently, 
there  is  a  tendency  to  overestimate  the  variations  in  the  sample, 
especially  for  groups  with  large  numbers  of  farms  or  for  groups 
for  which  the  totals  for  specified  farms  represent  a  high  per- 
centage of  the  item  totals. 

Data  in  State  Tables  18  and  19  are  given  to  assist  in  deter- 
mining the  general  level  of  sampling  reliability  of  estimated 
totals.  In  State  Table  19  a  list  of  the  items  is  given  and  the 
level  of  sampling  reliability  as  shown  in  State  Table  18  is  indi- 
cated. By  referring  to  State  Table  18  in  the  column  for  the  level 
of  sampling  reliability  designated  in  State  Table  19,  the  sampling 
error  according  to  the  number  of  farms  reporting  may  be  obtained. 
For  farms  reporting,  the  indicated  level  of  sampling  is  level  1. 
State  Table  18  shows  percentage  limits  such  that  the  chances 
are  about  68  in  100  that  the  difference  between  the  estimates 
based  on  the  sample  and  the  figure  that  would  have  been  obtained 
from  a  tabulation  for  all  farms  would  be  approximately  within 
the  limit  specified.  However,  the  chances  are  99  in  100  that  the 
difference  would  be  less  than  two  and  one-half  times  the  i>ercent- 
age  given  in  the  table. 

The  data  in  State  Table  18  indicate  that  when  the  number 
of  farms  reporting  specified  items  is  small,  the  item  totals  are 
subject  to  relatively  large  sampling  errors.  Nevertheless,  the 
considerable  detail  for  every  classification  for  each  item  is  pre- 
sented to  insure  maximum  usefulness  for  appraising  estimates 
for  any  combination  of  items  that  may  be  desired. 

Percentage  figures  and  averages  derived  from  the  tables  will 
generally  have  greater  reliability  than  the  estimated  totals ;  also, 
significant  patterns  of  relationships  may  sometimes  be  observed 
even  though  the  individual  data  are  subject  to  relatively  large 
sampling  errors. 

The  data  representing  estimates  based  on  a  sample  for  the  1950 
Census  were  obtained  in  essentially  the  same  way  as  in  1954  and 
the  same  State  Tables  18  and  19  may  be  used  to  estimate  the 
sampling  errors  for  the  1950  data. 

Differences  in  data  presented  by  counties  and  by  State  economic 
areas. — In  many  cases,  data  presented  by  State  economic  areas 
were  estimated  on  the  basis  of  tabulations  for  a  sample  of  farms, 
while  most  of  the  data  presented  by  counties  were  obtained  by 
the  tabulation  of  data  for  all  farms  in  the  county.  However, 
data  for  the  number  of  farms  classified  by  type  of  farm  and 
economic  class  of  farm,  and  for  the  use  of  fertilizer  and  lime, 
farm  expenditures,  farm  labor,  farm  facilities,  farm  equipment, 
and  value  of  land  and  buildings  were  estimated  for  each  county 
on  the  basis  of  the  tabulation  of  data  for  a  sample  of  farms 
in  each  county.  The  same  sample  of  farms  was  also  used  for 
the  tabulation  of  data  for  these  items  for  State  economic  areas 
and  for  the  State.  In  some  cases,  the  totals  presented  for  these 
items  for  State  economic  areas  or  for  the  State  will  differ 
slightly,  but  not  significantly,  from  the  totals  obtained  by  adding 
figures  for  counties  in  the  State  economic  area  or  the  State. 
As  a  matter  of  economy,  small  adjustments  were  not  made  in 
the  tabulations  when  the  difference  was  not  large  enough  to 
affect  the  usefulness  or  reliability  of  the  data. 

Classification  of  Farms 

The  classifications  of  farms  by  color  and  tenure  of  operator, 
economic  class  of  farm,  and  type  of  farm  were  made  on  the  basis 
of  visual  inspection  of  each  questionnaire  during  the  office 
processing. 

The  classification  for  color  and  tenure  of  operator  was  made  for 
all  farms,  while  the  classifications  by  economic  class  and  by  type  of 
farm  were  made  for  only  a  sample  of  farms.  The  classification 
of  farms  by  size  was  made  for  all  farms  by  means  of  electric 
tabulating  equipment. 

Farms  by  size. — Farms  were  classified  by  size  according  to  the 
total  land  area  of  each  farm.  The  same  classification  was  used 
for  all  States. 


In  analyzing  size-of-farm  statistics,  consideration  should  be 
given  to  the  definition  of  a  farm  for  census  purposes.  Census 
farms  are  essentially  operating  units,  not  ownership  tracts.  If 
a  landlord  has  croppers  or  other  tenants,  the  land  assigned  each 
cropper  or  tenant  is  a  separate  farm  even  though  the  landlord 
may  operate  the  entire  holding  essentially  as  one  farm  in  respect 
to  supervision,  equipment,  rotation  practices,  purchase  of  sup- 
plies, or  sale  of  products. 

In  some  parts  of  the  South  a  special  questionnaire,  the  Land- 
lord-Tenant Questionnaire,  was  used  to  obtain  statistics  for  such 
multiple  units.  The  statistics  for  multiple  units  will  be  pub- 
lished in  Volume  III,  Part  1. 

Farms  by  tenure  of  operator. — Farm  operators  are  classified  ac- 
cording to  the  tenure  under  which  they  hold  their  land  on  the 
basis  of  the  replies  to  the  inquiries  on  total  land  owned,  total  land 
rented  from  others,  total  land  managed  for  others,  and  land  rented 
to  others.  The  basis  of  classification  by  tenure  is,  in  general,  the 
same  for  the  1954  as  for  the  1950  Census.  In  1950,  for  an  opera- 
tor who  owned  land  and  rented  land  from  others,  there  was  no 
way  to  determine  whether  land  rented  to  others  represented  land 
owned  by  the  operator  or  land  rented  by  the  operator  from  others ; 
therefore,  such  an  operator  was  classified  as  a  part  owner.  In 
1945  and  earlier,  full  owners,  part  owners,  and  tenants  were  classi- 
fied on  the  basis  of  the  land  retained.  Under  this  earlier  classi- 
fication a  part  owner  who  sublets  to  others  all  the  land  he  rents 
from  others  would  have  been  classified  as  a  full  owner ;  a  part 
owner  who  rents  to  others  all  the  land  he  owns  would  have  been 
classified  as  a  tenant.  In  1954,  the  acreage  of  owned  land  that 
was  rented  to  others  was  obtained  for  the  first  time.  Thus,  it  was 
possible  to  classify  a  farm  operator  who  owned  land  and  rented 
land  from  others  as  a  full  owner,  part  owner,  or  tenant  according 
to  the  ownership  or  rental  of  the  land  he  retained. 

Full  owners  own  land  but  do  not  retain  any  land  rented  from 

others. 

Part  owners  own  land  and  rent  land  from  others. 

Managers  operate  farms  for  others  and  are  paid  a  wage  or  sal- 
ary for  their  services.  Persons  acting  merely  as  caretakers 
or  hired  as  laborers  are  not  classified  as  managers.  If  a  farm 
operator  managed  land  for  others  and  also  operated  land  on 
his  own  account,  the  land  operated  on  his  own  account  was 
considered  as  one  farm  and  the  land  managed  for  others  as  a 
second  farm.  If  a  farm  operator  managed  land  for  two  or  more 
employers  all  the  land  managed  was  considered  one  farm. 
Tenants  rent  from  others  or  work  on  shares  for  others  all  the 
land  they  operate.  Tenants  are  further  classified  on  the  basis 
of  their  rental  arrangement  as  follows : 

Cash  tenants  pay  cash  as  rent,  such  as  $10  an  acre  or  $1,000 
for  the  use  of  the  farm. 

Share-cash  tenants  pay  a  part  of  the  rent  in  cash  and  a  part 
as  a  share  of  the  crops  or  of  the  livestock  or  livestock  products. 

Share  tenants  pay  a  share  of  either  the  crops  or  livestock  or 
livestock  products,  or  a  share  of  both. 

Crop-share  tenants  pay  only  a  share  of  the  crops. 
Croppers  are  crop-share  tenants  whose  landlords  furnish  all 
work  power.  The  landlords  either  furnish  all  the  work  animals 
or  furnish  tractor  power  in  lieu  of  work  animals.  Croppers 
usually  work  under  the  close  sui>ervision  of  the  landowners,  or 
their  agents,  or  another  farm  operator,  and  the  land  assigned 
them  is  often  merely  a  part  of  a  larger  enterprise  operated  as  a 
single  unit. 

Livestock-share  tenants  pay  a  share  of  the  livestock  or  live- 
stock products.  They  may  or  may  not  also  pay  a  share  of  the 
crops. 

Other  tenants  include  those  who  pay  a  fixed  quantity  of  any 
product ;  those  who  pay  taxes,  keep  up  the  land  and  buildings, 
or  keep  the  landlord  in  exchange  for  the  use  of  the  land  ;  those 
who  have  the  use  of  the  land  rent  free;  and  others  who  could 
not  be  included  in  one  of  the  other  specified  subclasses. 

Unspecified  tenants  include  those  tenants  for  whom  the  rental 
arrangement  was  not  reported. 

For  earlier  censuses,  the  definition  for  each  subclass  of  tenant 
is  essentially  the  same  as  for  1954.  However,  in  1945  the 
enumerator  was  asked  to  determine  the  subclass  of  tenants, 
while  in  1954,  1950,  1940,  and  earlier  censuses  the  classification 
was  made  during  the  processing  of  the  questionnaires  on  the 
basis  of  the  answer  to  the  inquiries  on  the  questionnaires.     The 


XXII 


UNITED  STATES  CENSUS  OF  AGRICULTURE:  1954 


procedure  for  1945  may  have  affected  the  comparability  of  the 

data,    particularly    those    for    cash    tenants'  and    share-cash 

tenants. 

Farms  by  color  or  race  of  operator. — Farm  operators  are  classi- 
fied by  color  as  "white"  and  "nonwhite."  Nonwhite  includes 
Negroes,  Indians,  Chinese,  Japanese,  and  all  other  nonwhite 
races. 

Farms  by  economic  class. — A  classification  of  farms  by  economic 
class  was  made  for  the  purpose  of  segregating  groups  of  farms 
that  are  somewhat  alike  in  their  characteristics  and  size  of 
operation.  This  classification  was  made  in  order  to  present  an 
accurate  description  of  the  farms  in  each  class  and  in  order  to 
provide  basic  data  for  an  analysis  of  the  organization  of  agricul- 
ture. Only  the  farms  in  the  sample  were  classified  by  economic 
class.  The  totals  given  in  the  tables  represent  estimates  for  all 
farms  based  on  tabulations  of  the  data  for  the  farms  included  in 
the  sample. 

The  classification  of  farms  by  economic  class  was  made  on  the 
basis  of  three  factors;  namely,  total  value  of  all  farm  products 
sold,  number  of  days  the  farm  operator  worked  off  the  farm, 
and  the  relationship  of  the  income  received  from  nonfarm  sources 
by  the  operator  and  members  of  his  family  to  the  value  of  all 
farm  products  sold.  Farms  operated  by  institutions,  experiment 
stations,  grazing  associations,  and  community  projects  were  clas- 
sified as  abnormal,  regardless  of  any  of  the  three  factors. 

For  the  purpose  of  determining  the  code  for  economic  class  and 
type  of  farm,  it  was  necessary  to  obtain  the  total  value  of  farm 
products  sold  as  well  as  the  value  of  some  individual  products 
sold. 

The  total  value  of  farm  products  sold  was  obtained  by  adding 
the  reported  or  estimated  values  for  all  products  sold  from  the 
farm.  The  value  of  livestock,  livestock  products  except  wool 
and  mohair,  vegetables,  nursery  and  greenhouse  products,  and 
forest  products  was  obtained  by  the  enumerator  from  the  farm 
operator  for  each  farm.  The  enumerator  also  obtained  from  the 
farm  operator  the  quantity  sold  for  corn,  sorghums,  small  grains, 
hays,  and  small  fruits.  The  value  of  sales  for  these  crops  was 
obtained  by  multiplying  the  quantity  sold  by  State  average  prices. 

The  quantity  sold  was  estimated  for  all  other  farm  products. 
The  entire  quantity  produced  for  wool,  mohair,  cotton,  tobacco, 
sugar  beets  for  sugar,  sugarcane  for  sugar,  broomcorn,  hops,  and 
mint  for  oil  was  estimated  as  sold.  If  the  estimated  value  of  the 
quantity  sold  for  any  other  crop  was  $100  or  more,  the  entire 
quantity  harvested  was  estimated  as  sold.  To  obtain  the  value 
of  each  product  sold,  the  quantity  sold  was  multiplied  by  State 
average  prices. 

In  making  the  classification  of  farms  by  economic  class,  farms 
were  grouped  into  two  major  groups,  namely,  commercial  farms 
and  other  farms.  In  general,  all  farms  with  a  value  of  sales  of 
farm  products  amounting  to  $1,200  or  more  were  classified  as 
commercial.  Farms  with  a  value  of  sales  of  $250  to  $1,199  were 
classified  as  commercial  only  if  the  farm  operator  worked  off  the 
farm  less  than  100  days  or  if  the  income  of  the  farm  operator 
and  members  of  his  family  received  from  nonfarm  sources  was 
less  than  the  total  value  of  all  farm  products  sold.  The  remaining 
farms  with  gross  income  of  $250-$l,199  and  farms  with  a  value 
of  sales  of  all  farm  products  of  less  than  $250,  as  well  as  farms 
operated  by  institutions,  experiment  stations,  grazing  associa- 
tions and  community  projects  were  classified  as  "other  farms." 

Commercial  farms  were  divided  into  six  groups  on  the  basis 

of  the  total  value  of  all  farm  products  sold,  as  follows  : 

Value  of  farm 
Class  of  farm  products  sold 

I $25,000  or  more 

II 10,000  to  $24,999 

III 5,000  to      9,999 

IV 2, 500  to       4,999 

V 1,200  to       2,499 

VI *250  to       1,199 

•Provided  the  farm  operator  worked  off  the  farm  less  than  100  days 
or  provided  the  income  the  farm  operator  and  members  of  his  family 
received  from  nonfarm  sources  was  less  than  the  value  of  all  farm 
products  sold. 


Other  farms  have  been  grouped  into  three  classes  as  follows : 

Part-time  farms. — Farms  with  a  value  of  sales  of  farm 
products  of  $250  to  $1,199  were  classified  as  part  time  if  the 
farm  operator  reported  (a)  100  or  more  days  of  work  off  the 
farm  in  1954,  or  (b)  the  nonfarm  income  received  by  him  and 
members  of  his  family  was  greater  than  the  value  of  farm 
products  sold. 

Residential  farms. — Residential  farms  include  all  farms  ex- 
cept abnormal  farms  with  a  total  value  of  sales  of  farm  prod- 
ucts of  less  than  $250.  Some  of  these  represent  farms  on  which 
the  operator  worked  off  the  farm  more  than  100  days  in  1954. 
Some  represent  farms  on  which  the  income  from  nonfarm 
sources  was  greater  than  the  value  of  sales  of  agricultural 
products.  Others  represent  subsistence  and  marginal  farms 
of  various  kinds.  Some  farms  are  included  here  which,  if  the 
classification  were  based  on  farm  production  for  more  than 
1  year,  might  have  qualified  as  commercial  farms. 

Abnormal  farms. — Insofar  as  it  was  possible  to  identify  them, 
abnormal  farms  include  public  and  private  institutional  farms, 
community  enterprises,  experiment-station  farms,  grazing  asso- 
ciations, etc. 

Farms  by  type. — The  classification  of  farms  by  type  was  made 
on  the  basis  of  the  relationship  of  the  value  of  sales  from  a  par- 
ticular source  or  sources  to  the  total  value  of  all  farm  products 
sold  from  the  farm.  In  some  cases,  the  type  of  farm  was  de- 
termined on  the  basis  of  the  sale  of  an  individual  farm  product, 
such  as  cotton,  or  on  the  basis  of  closely  related  products,  such 
as  dairy  products.  In  other  cases,  the  type  was  determined  on 
the  basis  of  sales  of  a  broader  group  of  products  such  as  corn, 
sorghums,  all  small  grains,  field  peas,  field  beans,  cowpeas,  and 
soybeans.  Part-time,  residential,  and  abnormal  farms  were  not 
classified  by  type.  In  order  to  be  classified  as  a  particular  type, 
sales  or  anticipated  sales  of  a  product  or  a  group  of  products  had 
to  represent  50  percent  or  more  of  the  total  value  of  products 
sold. 

Only  the  farms  in  the  sample  were  classified  by  type.  The 
data  given  in  this  report  by  type  of  farm  relate  only  to  commercial 
farms. 

The  types  of  farms  for  which  data  are  shown,  together  with 
the  product  or  group  of  products  on  which  the  classification  is 
based,  are : 

Product  or  group  of  products  amounting 
to  50  percent  or  more  of  the  value  of  all 
Type  of  farm  farm  products  sold 

Cotton Cotton. 

Cash-grain Corn,  sorghum,  small  grains,  field  peas, 

field  beans,  cowpeas,  and  soybeans. 

Other  field-crop Peanuts,  Irish  potatoes,  sweetpotatoes, 

tobacco,   sugarcane,   sugar   beets   for 
sugar,  and  other  miscellaneous  crops. 

Vegetable Vegetables. 

Fruit-and-nut Berries  and  other  small  fruits,  and  tree 

fruits,  grapes,  and  nuts. 

Dairy Milk  and  other  dairy  products.  The  cri- 
terion of  50  percent  of  the  total  sales 
was  modified  in  the  case  of  dairy 
farms.  A  farm  for  which  the  value  of 
sales  of  dairy  products  represented 
less  than  50  percent  of  the  total  value 
of  farm  products  sold  was  classified  as 
a  dairy  farm  if — 

(a)  Milk  and  other  dairy  products 
accounted  for  30  percent  or  more 
of  the  total  value  of  products  sold, 
and 

(b)  Milk  cows  represented  50  per- 
cent or  more  of  all  cows,  and 

(c)  Sales  of  dairy  products,  to- 
gether with  the  sales  of  cattle  and 
calves,  amounted  to  50  percent  or 
more  of  the  total  value  of  farm 
products  sold. 

Poultry Chickens,  eggs,  turkeys,  and  other  poul- 
try products. 

Livestock  farms  other  Cattle,  calves,  hogs,  sheep,  goats,  wool, 
than  dairy  and  poul-  and  mohair,  provided  the  farm  did  not 
try.  qualify  as  a  dairy  farm.

Type  of  farm  farm  products  sold — Continued 

General Farms  were  classified  as  general  when 

the  value  of  products  from  one  source 
or  group  of  sources  did  not  represent 
as  much  as  50  percent  of  the  total 
value  of  all  farm  products  sold. 
Separate  figures  are  given  for  three 
kinds  of  general  farms  : 

(a)  Primarily  crop. 

(b)  Primarily  livestock. 

(c)  Crop  and  livestock. 
Primarily    crop    farms    are    those    for 

which  the  sale  of  one  of  the'following 
crops  or  groups  of  crops — vegetables, 
fruits  and  nuts,  cotton,  cash  grains, 
or  other  field  crops — did  not  amount 
to  50  percent  or  more  of  the  value  of 
all  farm  products  sold,  but  for  which 
the  value  of  sales  for  all  these  groups 
of  crops  represented  70  percent  or 
more  of  the  value  of  all  farm  products 
sold. 

Primarily  livestock  farms  are  those 
which  could  not  qualify  as  dairy 
farms,  poultry  farms,  or  livestock 
farms  other  than  dairy  and  poultry, 
but  on  which  the  sale  of  livestock  and 
poultry  and  livestock  and  poultry 
products  amounted  to  70  percent  or 
more  of  the  value  of  all  farm  products 
sold. 

General  crop  and  livestock  farms  are 
those  which  could  not  be  classified  as 
either  crop  farms  or  livestock  farms, 
but  on  which  the  sale  of  all  crops 
amounted  to  at  least  30  percent  but 
less  than  70  percent  of  the  total  value 
of  all  farm  products  sold. 

Miscellaneous This  group  of  farms  includes  those  that 

had  50  percent  or  more  of  the  total 
value  of  products  accounted  for  by 
sale  of  horticultural  products,  or  sale 
of  horses,  or  sale  of  forest  products. 

The  classification  of  farms  by  type  of  farm  for  the  1954  Census 
was  made  on  essentially  the  same  basis  as  that  for  the  1050 
Census.  In  1050,  miscellaneous  farms  included  those  that  had 
50  percent  or  more  of  the  total  value  of  products  accounted  for 
by  the  sale  of  fur  animals,  or  the  sale  of  bees  and  honey,  in  addi- 
tion to  the  items  included  in  the  1954  classification. 

Value  of  farm  products  sold. — Data  on  the  value  of  farm 
products  sold  were  obtained  for  1954  by  either  of  two  methods. 
First,  the  values  of  livestock  sold  alive,  poultry,  poultry  products, 
vegetables  harvested  for  sale,  nursery  and  greenhouse  products, 
forest  products,  and  all  livestock  products,  except  wool  and  mo- 
hair, were  obtained  during  the  enumeration  by  asking  the  farm 
operator  the  value  of  sales. 

Second,  the  values  of  all  other  agricultural  products  sold  were 
estimated  for  each  county.  During  the  enumeration,  the  quantiiy 
sold  was  obtained  for  each  farm,  for  corn  for  grain,  sorghums 
for  grain  or  forage,  small  grains,  hays,  and  for  all  small  fruits 
and  berries.  For  all  other  crops,  the  quantity  sold  was  esti- 
mated for  each  county.  For  the  purpose  of  computing  value  of 
farm  products  sold,  it  was  assumed  that  the  entire  quantity  har- 
vested, or  reported,  was  sold  for  the  following  crops:

the  Agricultural  Marketing  Service  of  the  U.  S.  Department  of 
Agriculture. 

The  quantity  sold  for  the  following  miscellaneous  crops  was 
estimated  on  the  basis  of  the  reported  quantity  or  value  of  sales 
for  the  1954  Census  or  on  the  basis  of  the  quantity  sold  as  shown 
for  the  1950  Census  :

The  estimated  value  of  all  crops  sold,  except  vegetables  har- 
vested for  sale,  nursery  and  greenhouse  products,  and  forest  prod- 
ucts, was  obtained  by  multiplying  the  estimated  quantity  sold  by 
the  State  average  price.  The  State  average  prices  were  obtained 
by  the  Agricultural  Marketing  Service  of  the  U.  S.  Department  of 
Agriculture. 

In  the  case  of  miscellaneous  crops  listed  above,  the  average 
prices  have  been  determined  on  the  basis  of  reports  of  quantity 
sold  and  value  of  sales  obtained  in  the  1954  Census  of  Agriculture. 

For  the  1950  Census,  the  value  of  all  farm  products  sold  was 
obtained  by  inquiry  of  each  farm  operator  during  the  enumera- 
tion. In  that  census,  inquiries  were  made  regarding  the  value 
of  farm  products  sold  for  a  maximum  of  46  individual  farm  prod- 
ucts or  groups  of  farm  products.  In  most  cases,  the  quantity  sold 
for  the  individual  farm  product  was  obtained  together  with  the 
value  of  sales.  The  total  value  of  farm  products  sold  for  1950 
includes  the  value  of  several  farm  products  not  included  in  the 
figures  for  1954 — butter,  cheese,  skim  milk,  bees,  honey,  corn  fod- 
der, corn  silage,  and  grain  straw,  and  receipts  from  the  rental  of 
pasture. 

Data  for  the  sales  of  farm  products  represent  total  sales  for 
the  entire  farm,  regardless  of  who  shared  in  the  receipts.  The 
landlord's  share  of  crops  and  livestock  sold  and  also  the  livestock 


which  the  landlord  took  from  the  tenant  farm  to  his  own  place 
were  considered  as  sales  from  the  tenant  farm.  Sales  of  crops 
grown  on  a  contract  basis,  of  livestock  fed  on  a  contract  basis,  or 
of  poultry  raised  under  a  contract  with  a  feed  dealer  or  others, 
were  included  as  sales  from  the  farm. 

The  data  on  sales  cover  one  year's  operation.  The  sales  of 
crops  represent  the  sales  of  crops  before  the  enumeration  as  well 
as  those  yet  to  be  sold  at  the  time  of  the  enumeration.  Corn, 
cotton,  and  other  commodities  under  loan  were  to  be  considered 
as  sold  at  loan  prices.  Livestock  sales  are  for  the  calendar 
year  regardless  of  when  the  livestock  were  raised  or  produced. 
Most  livestock  products  are  sold  at  the  time  they  are  produced. 
It  was  assumed  that  all  wool  and  mohair  shorn  or  clipped  in 
1954  was  sold. 

The  value  of  farm  products  sold  does  not  include  government 
payments  for  soil  conservation,  lime  and  fertilizer  furnished,  and 
subsidy  payments. 

When  obtaining  the  value  of  the  farm  products  sold  from  farm 
operators,  the  enumerators  were  instructed  to  report  the  gross 
value  without  making  deductions  of  any  kind.  These  instruc- 
tions, however,  were  not  always  followed.  In  the  case  of  milk, 
poultry,  eggs,  etc.,  deductions  were  often  made  by  buyers  of  farm 
products  for  hauling,  handling,  marketing,  etc.,  before  making 
payments  to  farmers.  In  such  cases,  farm  operators  often  con- 
sidered the  amount  of  the  check  received  as  the  gross  value  of 
the  farm  products  sold.

zLevel  1  should  be  used  in  determining  the  sampling  reliability  of  estimated  number  of  farms  and  farms  reporting.  If  the  estimated  number  of  farms  or  farms  reporting  consti- 
tutes more  than  75  percent  of  all  farms  in  the  universe,  a  better  approximation  to  the  sampling  reliability  may  be  obtained  by  multiplying  the  percent  given  in  the  tables  as 
follows: 

1.  When  the  number  of  farms  or  farms  reporting  is  75  percent  of  all  farms,  multiply  the  percent  error  by  0.50. 

2.  When  the  number  of  farms  or  farms  reporting  is  90  percent  of  all  farms,  multiply  the  percent  error  by  0.30. 

3.  When  the  number  of  farms  or  farms  reporting  is  95  percent  of  all  farms,  multiply  the  percent  error  by  0.20.

1Level  1  should  be  used  in  determining  the  sampling  reliability  of  estimated  number  of  farms  and  farms  reporting.  If  the  estimated  number  of  farms  or  farms  reporting  consti- 
tutes more  than  75  percent  of  all  farms  in  the  universe,  a  better  approximation  to  the  sampling  reliability  may  be  obtained  by  multiplying  the  percent  given  in  the  tables  as 
follows: 

1.  When  the  number  of  farms  or  farms  reporting  is  75  percent  of  all  farms,  multiply  the  percent  error  by  0.50. 

2.  When  the  number  of  farms  or  farms  reporting  is  90  percent  of  all  farms,  multiply  the  percent  error  by  0,30. 

3.  When  the  number  of  farms  or  farms  reporting  is  95  percent  of  all  farms,  multiply  the  percent  error  by  0.20.
