APPENDIX A-PHYSICAL F~ATURES AND SOILS OF THE UNITED STATES.

Broad genern.1 relations exist between the physical foo,turos of the Uni.ted States and the soils of it~ difforont sections. This arises from the fact that the samo forces which produced the physical features of tho country have largely contributed toward the formn.tion of its soils.

In general the land area of the country may be doscribod as consisting of mountain masses, of high platoaus, of extensive plains, and of broad valleys.

rl'ho skeleton of the United States is built up by the mountrdn masses. Parallel with the eastern coast lhie the Appalachi.an Mountains stretch from north contrn.l Alabama northeast to the Hudson River. From the region of the upper Great Ijakes a low hilly aron, constituting a remnant of mountain chains, e:x.Londs for n considerable distance to the westward nlong t.ho northern boundary of the United States. In tho wostern part of the country the Rocky Moun­tains oxtond from the Canadian boundary in a, southoo.storlv direction to the .Rio Grande. Parallel with ~ho P·~cific coast the Sierra Nevada Ranges oxtond ontirely across the country, while along the imrnocliatn coast line the Coast Ranges, under different names, constitute an elevated and frequently moun­tainous. coastal boundary. In the south · central portion of the United States the Ozark uplift and associated mountain masses constitute an elevated area in sottthern 1vfissouri, northern Arkansas, and ea.stem Oklahoma.

Between the Coast Ranges and the Sierras are extensive inland valleys, the largest of which lies in central California, while another development of tho same feature is found in the Puget Sound region in Washington and the Willamette Valley in

Oregon. Between tho Sierras and the Rocky Mountains

exists a groat inland basin whoso waters have no outlet to tho sea oxcept in the more northern and southern portions. The altitudes within this basin range from near sm1 level ~o elevations ~ excess .of 7 000 feet. In fact this rog10n may be said to consISt of a sm·ios of basins, plateaus, and minor mountain rttngos. 'rhis interior basin section is subdivided into the Northern Intermountain region or basaltic plateau, th~ central Great Basin regio~, which ha.S no outlet to tho sea, and the southern and Sou~hwest, bordering tho lower courses of. the Colorado River.

East of this region rise the hlgh plateaus of eas.tmn Utah and northern Arizona and New Mexico which surround the lower elevations and the foothills of the Rocky Mountains and are continuous with the High Plains, which slope from the eastern boundarv of the Rocky Mountain section and gradually ~erging with the Residual Prairie areas of the Southwestern states and with the upper portion of the Great ~is-­sippi Basin.

The Mississippi Basin is separable into several sub­divisions. All of its more northern and northwestt':'ra portion consists of a low glaciated pla;ifietl,u, lying at altitudes of 1,000 to 1,500 feet a.hove sea lhv~l. The southwestern portion is separated from ~ soutMast­ern by the low elevations of the Ozttrk uplift, the Boston Mountains, and the Ouachita. Mountains. This portion consists of low lying prairie a.reSB which merge with the High Plains region to the west and sink below the Coastal Plains region in the south. The northeastern portion of the Mississippi Basin rises gradually until it merges with the western port,ion of the Appalachian Plateau, which in turn fla.nks the Allegheny Mountains at altitudes of 2,500 to 3,000 feet.

Between the Appalachian Mountain system and thll sea lies the extensive Piedmont Plateau. This physical division slopes gently seaward from the eastern foothills of the Blue Ri.dge an.d disappears beneath the Coastal Plain at an altitude of 350 to 500 feet. The remainder of the United States consists of a seaward-sloping Coastal Plain:, whicfu joins the Residual Prairies in the extreme southwest, slopes southward from the southern- boundary of the Ozark uplift and the extreme southweste_m portio~ of the Appalachian region, and abuts agamst the Pl!~~nt Plateau from east central Alabama to the 'V'lCJmty

of the Hudson River. The Appalachia.n · Mountains . extend no~ward

along the Hudson River in the form _of low ndges, which are given various l~cal names m the c~tern portion of New York and m the western portion oi the New England states.· Slniilarly the Piedmont Plateau is prolonged to the northeast by the ea.stern and western highlands of the southern New England states. The Coastal Plain skirts the southern shore of Ijong Island and includes portions of the smaller islands along the Massachusetts coast.

PHYSICAL FEATURES AND SOILS OF THE UNITED STATES. 895 drab clay which grades downward into the partly decomposed marl or limestone.

It ~s a characterfatic of the Coastal Plain area that pr~ctically one-third of the entire region is covered by ~:fine sa:1dy loam soil, while a considerable proportion is also ~ncluded in the sandy loam or s_and group. Except 111 the areas where the soils are derived from the marls ~nd limestones! clay soils are not particu­la:ly prom1nei;t .. There is thus a wide range in the soil_ characteristics, varying from extremely well­dram.od to draughty sand soils through fine sandy loam _and s~ndy loam general-purpose soils to stiff clays.

It Is cstnnated that the Atlantic and Gulf Coastal Plnin covers approximately 365,000 square miles, or 233,000,000 acres, of territory, constituting one of the largest single grand divisions in the eastern portion of the United States.

PIEDMONT PLATEAU.

The Piedmont Plateau extends from east central Alu.bu.ma to the northeast across central Georgia, west­ern South Carolina, central North Carolina, Virginia, and Maryl11nd, and through the eastern. portion of l?ennsylvania. It fo111lly disappears as a distinct physiographic province in north central New Jersey. Tho highland portion of the southern and eastern New 11-:nghtnd states may, however, be considered as a con­tinuation of this area. The latter region has been glacitited, and the -resulting soils differ materially from those of the Piedmont Plateal1 to the south and wost of the Hudson River.

The Piedmont Pl_ateau proper has an elevation rnnging from 3.50 to 500 feet along its eastern border, where it is overlapped by the materials of the Coastal Plain. From this region it rises ·gently to the north­west, attaining to altitudes of 1,100 and 1,200 feet along its western borders at the eastern foot of the Appalachian Mountain ranges. Its surface on a small scale is irregular throughout its entire extent, since the plateau has been deeply eroded by an intricate system of stream drainages constituting the head­waters of many of the principal Atlantic coast rivers. A.'?i a result of this deep erosion of an ancient plateau, any single county or small area wit~ the Pied~:r10nt section consists of a series of rounded hills, of flat mter­strea'm plains, and of deep gorg~like valleys. The Piedmont Plateau region is one of very complete drainage.

SOILS OF THE PIEDMONT PLATEAU.

rrhe soils of the Piedmont Plateau have been formed by the we11thering of the rock~ of th11t :egion. T~ese rocks range from the crystallines, ~eISses, gramtes, schists, and gabbros to the :fine-gramed partly crys­talline phyllite and slate; some a:ea~ of ma~~le are also illcluded in the region. There is, m addit10n to the above, a series of soils derived from the sandstones and shales of the 'rri11ssi_c basins.

The soils of the Piedmont Plateau are principally ~andy loams, loa~, and clays. The southern portion is almost exclusively occupied by two main types. One of these consists of a gray, medium sandy loam surface soil underlaid by a stiff red, somewhat sandy clay. The other consists of a heavy red clav loam or clay surface soil of red color underlaid with similar st~ff red clays. In the more northern portion of the Piedmont area the principal soils are a brown some-­what gritty loam underlaid by a heavy yellow

1

or red­clish-yellow silty loam. The soils derived from the Triassic sandstones and shales are principally brown to reddish-brown loam or clay-loam surface soils, usually underlaid by a dark-red clay. In the areas where the soils are derived from the underlying marble the sur­face soil is prevalently a brown silty loam and the sub­soil a yellow or reddish-yellow silty clay.

THE APPALACHIAN MOUNTAINS AND PLATEAU.

From north central Alabama to the Hudson River the Piedmont is bounded to the west by the high ridges of the Appalachian Mountains. The entire Appalachian region may be divided into tllroo tabd!i­visions. The eastern ranges, generally 1mown as the Blue Ridge Mountains in their more southern porti<m and as South Mountains in Pennsylvania, constitute the :first of the subdivisions. The .Allegheny Moun­tains, consisting of long, nearly pa.rall0l1 and level­topped ridges, which rise in a succession of mountain, elevations, form the second subdivision.. The plateau constitutes the third of the subdivisions of the .Appar lachian. region. The topography and even the rock structure of the Appalachian Plateau is repea.too to the west of the Mississippi River in the Ozark uplift, the Boston Mountains, and the Ouachita Mountains of southern Missouri, northern Arkansas, and eastern Oklahoma, constituting a westward extension of the same physical and soil province across the Mississippi River. The highest altitudes of the eastern United States are found in the Blue Ridge Mountain.system in western North Carolina, where Mount Mitche:ll rises to an altitude of 6, 711 feet.

The long parallel ridges of th8o .Allegheny Ml)'lmt&:i!J;is rise to altitudes of 1,800 feet and occasionally in eix,..

cess of 2,500 feet. Usually the arests of these lllCl'lm­tain ridges are nearly level and somewhat fla.tteued; while the eastward slope is steep and prooipitous, the westward slope is mol'.e gentle or eve~ rollipg.

The Appalachian Plateau, known as the Onmber­land Plateau in eastern Kentucky a.nd eastern Ten­nessee rises along its 8".Btern margin to altitudes in excess' even of those of the Allegheny Mo1111tains.. Elevations of 2,500 to 3,000 fee.t are not uncommon along this eastern .Allegheny front. To the w~ th& surface of the plateau declines gently from an altrt:nde of 2 500 feet in its eastern portion until it merges into the

Mississippi Plain at an altitude of &pproxima.tely 1,000 feet.

PHYSICAL lT'EATURES AND SOILS OF THE UNITED STATES. 897 tion of the Appalachian Plateau was ice covered, and all of the low plateau which comprises the northern

. portion of the Mississippi Basin was also deeply cov­ored. In northwestern Montana the ice invasions extended to the eastern foot slopes of the Rocky Mountaiirn.

'l'he glacial in'Vasi0n modified the topography of the region nffoctecl to a considerable ·degree. In general tho higher elevations were rounded. Intermediate valleys were partially or completely filled by ice­horne debris and, in tho north central portion of the United States, the topography was generally leveled and smoothed until the resulting rolling plain was formed. In the mountainous section such leveling up of tho country was not effected and tho valleys, the hill slopos, and tho mountain tops alike were covered · with a thin or ·thick layer of glacial material.

In connection with this i:o.vasion a large amount of fine silty material was spread far to the southward along the main stream channels and this Joess deposit occupies consideraqle areas along the banks of the Mississippi, tho Missouri, and the Ohio Rivers, also · covering oxtonsivo intorstream areas in southwestern Nebraslrn, rmd western Kansas.

SOILS OF THE GLACIAL AND LOESSIAL REGION.

Tho soils of this gbci11tecl region are as extremely 'Variod its is tho topography.

In tho Now England states the upland portion con­sists of tho deeply trenched plateaus above which mountain systems rise in the more western part. A considernblo amount of glacial outwash has formed the lower-lying plains which occupy southeastern Mas­s1tehusotts, southern Rhode Island, 1md the main por­tion of the Connecticut Valley from the Vermont line southward. The Adirondack uplift in northern Now York was similarly glaciated and the mountain peaks and intor'Voning valleys of this region are covered to a 'Varying degree with glacial debris.

The soils of tho glaciated uplands of New England and of eastern Now York consist principally of stony lomns m1d stony sandy loams derived from the glacial till. In general tho surface soils are gray or brown., while the subsoils are. prevalently gray, yellow, . or drab. The glacial outwash. soils of the valleys are prevalently gravol~y o:· sandy loa~s. The surf ace s~il in. those instances 18 01ther yellow m color or brown m case a larger amount of organic matter has been inc01'Poratod. . ·

The northern extension of the Appalachian Plateau which comprises a forge portion of sou them Ne": York, northern Pennsylvania, and :i:ortheastem Oh10 was n,lso glacit1tecl. In this region the topograp~y was smoothed and the deeper valleys were filled with gla­cial ontwnsh mntorial. As a re;·mlt, ull of the upl~nd portion of tlri8 region cor:1sists of .~·m~m~rn~ m:~,. rollrng platmws illtorsporscd by bron,il w1i1c1mg.' ,1lle~···. The topography Wl\S sufficiently smoothed by gla01at1on so

that a large proportion of the land surlace has at some time or o~her been oci:u1~ied for agricultural purpos(,S .

'.1'h? soils of the glaciated plateau region consist prmmpally of glacial material brought in from other sources and mingled with materials derivt'<l from the underlying sandstones and 8hales. The prevalent soils are somewhat stony or shale-filled lnam.:i and silty loams, although minor areas of gravelly loams and of clay soils exist, and 'ivithin thi'l region also the deeper valleys are frequently partially filled with gl~ial out­wash materials where hruwn gravelly loam and brown loam soils support general farm crops.

Throughout practically all of the upper 1fissi"!Eippi Basin the glaciation was repeated at various intervals. Preexisting valleys were filled and irref:,rularities uf topography were largely obscured. It is only in the ancient mountain region of the upper lakes that any high ridges or hills still remain. A oonstant feature of all this glaciated portion of the United Stltta e:onsist5 of the low rolling l:idges or lines of hills formed by the glacial moraines. These oonsist of !W(~umulatfon.~ of ground-up rock material r1J;nging in size ft<1m the iitiOl!lt clay to bowlders of many tons in weight, all of which materials were piled together indiseri:miru.'l.t.ely in the form of irregular ridges. These may he numerous and intricately merged one into another its in some portions of Michigan, Wisconsin, and :llifinnesota, or they may simply consist of low swells of somewhlllt oonee11trie arrangement as in portions of Indiana, Illinois, ar1d Iowa.

The drainage of this general region is accomp&hed by the deep-cut channels of the major stream'! int<J which many minor streams flow from the upland por­tion of the country. There are, however, ~tensive interstream areas where the drainage is not yet well establfahed, and, particularly in the mominal portfon of the glaciated region, there remain numerous depres­sions which are occupied by lakes, ponds, and swamps.

The glacial and loessial region of the United States constitutes one of the most extensive divisions and is certainly the most important agrieulturnl region of the United States.

The soils of the glacial and l-0essial region of the upper 1fississippi Basin are derived from an ext,remely heterogeneous mass of glacial debris. In the mc1re northern portions along .the upper Great .Ltb-s the material is prevalently sandy 21nd gravelly with smaller areas of stony loam. The soils in this ret.iion are wm­ally of a yellow or gray oolor, and conifat of sand'>, fine sands and sandy loams. Many areas of gravelly and stony' soil also exist. ThiS area is only partial~y nccu­pied for agricultural purposes rmd to a considerable extent consists of cut over forest lamls. There are also many swampy areas included within this terri-

PHYSICAL FEATURES AND SOILS OF THE UNITE:p STATES. 899 foothills, This territory extends in a broad belt from the Canadian boundary line to the Rio Orande. It rises rapidly from an altitude of .approximately2,500 feet on the eastern border to altitudes of 7 ,000 feet

· where tho plain is wrapped around the flanks of the mountain masses.

The High Plains, to the east of the Rocky Mountains, merge into the elevated plateaus of central and south­western Wyoming and western Colorado, eastern Utah, and extreme northeastern Arizona and northern Now Mexico. The entire area constitutes the elevated platform above which the Rocky Mountains rise in extensive masses.

SOILS Qli' THE HIGH PLAINS REGION.

Upon the plateau portion, gravelly and sandy loam soils prevail at the higher altitudes, while upon the slopes of the High Plains, eastward to the central valley, extensive areas of sandy loam, silty loam, and even of clay soils are interspersed by areas of wind­blown sand and of gravelly loam.

THE WESTERN MOUNTAIN REGIONS.

A large extent of the country in the western two­fifths of the United States consists of h.igh mountain masses, ranges, and peaks. These .comprise the ranges which are collectively known as the Rocky Mountains, the Sierra N evadas, and the Coast Ranges, together with a large · number of less extensive secondary ranges lying princip~lly between the Sierra Nevadas n,nd the Rocky Mountains.

'rhroughout these regions the altitudes range from 5 000 or 6 000 feet above sea level to extreme altitudes ' ' of over 14 000 feet. Within the numerous small

valleys, wh~re water can be brought from the acljace~t mountain slo1)es many small irrigated areas sustam

' il an intensive agriculture upon a wide variety of so s.

SOILS OF THE WESTERN MOUNTAIN REGION·

The soils are principally gravelly and sandy loams, formed from the detritus washed clown from the mountain slopes . and deposited alo~g the stream. valleys or in small temporary lake basms.

THE NORTHWESTERN INTERMOUNTAIN REGION.

Between the main masses of the Rocky Mountains to the east and of the Cascade Ranges to the west there is an extensive and varied interior plateau country occupying southern and weste~n Idaho ~ncl the eastern portion of Oregon and Washington, wh1~h is clesignn,ted as the Northwestern Interm.ountam

region. . 1 The surface features ·of this reg10n are e~trem.e Y

,• l In southern Idaho there are extensrv'e lava-vanec . 1 . d · f m covered plains which lie at a t1tu es rangmg ro 2 000 to 5 000 feet above sea level. In eastern Washington' and northeastern Oregon the Iav:a :fields u.re also found as a high plateau at approXllllately

the same altitude, while above tJ.tis elevation extensive mountain masses rise. Within this region also there have been formed deposits of volcanic ash which cover the rolling surface of the region at the lower elevations and have been blown by the wind a.cross the lower un4ulations of the high plateau regioru;. There are also at the lowest elevations the remains of many ancient lakes, whose beds are now exposed and con­stitute a portion of the agricultural land of the region. In part, these ancient lakes have been filled with volcanic ash and in part they have been filled by the detritus brought down by mountain and p:la.teau streams from the higher levels.

SOILS OF THE NORTHWESTERN Il.TERMOUNTAI'I.\

REGION.

There is a wide variation in the charaeterist~·cs of the soils of this region. In part, they eoncj,gt of dark-colored silty and very :fine sandy loams formed from the weathering of the lava caps of the pbi.te&i region. In part the soils are loams co~ting of wind-blown material frequently rn.ade up to .a ool\l­siderable degree of volcanic ash. At tire lower •Ya-­tions, particularly within the aneient lake bei:L>1 tile volcanic ash is also found mingled to a great« or lNs degree with the broken rock fragments carried in from higher altitudes.

GREAT BASIN' DGION.

The Great Basin region lies between the Roeky Mountains and the Sierra Nevadas. It strek:hei southward from the Intermountain region in somhern Oregon anq. Idaho until it merges with the erl.remeily arid southwestern portion of the United States alang the lower course of the Colorado River.

The physical features of the Great Basin region &re extremely varied. To the east it is bounded by high mountain ranges or plateau escarpments; to the north it merges into the lava-capped plateaus of the Intermountain region; to the west it is bounded sharply by the eastern fo?thills ·Of the Sierra .Nevada Mountain£· to the south it merges grndu&Ily mto the arid platea~ along the lower Colorado River. Wi~ the Great Basin region there are nmnerou.'I high mountairi. ranges which have a gen~ral north md south trend and which rise from altitudes o! l,~ feet to 4 000 feet above the general level of the mtemr basin. Between these mountain ranges there are broad valleys, extensive desert sinks., and broad desert plains which at one time formed the. bottoms of bi.kes.

Practically all of the scanty ~all of the are11. flows through intermittent streams mto the remnants of ancient lakes. These pooses:s no outlet and the water level is maintained fairly constant through evapom­tion from the surface. In conseq;ience of scanty p~ cipitation agriculture is only possible wh~re mountam streams descend upon the more level sednni:nta:r~d colluvial deposits of the valley areas, making irriga-

tion possible.

APPENDIX B-AGRICULTURAL SCHEDULES: 1850 TO 1910.

The census of 1850 was the first for which a special agricultural schedule was provided. The progress in the collection of ag:ricultural statistics since that year may be best indicated by a brief review of the changes in the schedules from census to census.

There w11s very little difference in the schedules of 1850, 18601 11nd 1870. All seem to have been prep11red in conformity with the provision.'l of the census act of 1850, which were not m11terially changed in the three decades following.

The schedules fol' 1850 were 13 by 17! inches in size and permitted the enumeration of 41 farms on one sheet. There was a total of 46 questions. The schedule for the census of 1860 carried 48 questions.

In a few particulars the schedule of 1870 differed from those of 1850 and 1860. Additional facts were called for regarding the acreage and cash value of farms, amount spent for labor, production of wheat, quantity of milk sold, and total value of farm products. The questions relative to the preparation of hemp wera abandoned. Tho total number of questions was in­creased to 52. ·

The census act of 1879 provided for a more elaborate collection of statistics, and a new schedule for agricul­ture was adopted, which contained 100 questions. Although the sheets were of blanket form, but 20 farms 0oulcl be entered, 10 on each page. The most important additions to tltls schedule were the ques­tions 011 land tenure and those relating to the areas of the various crops. Inquiries for rice, cotton, and sugar cane were prilltecl on the schedules for the Southern states only.

The schedule for 1890 was even more extensive. In form it was similar to that of 1880, but,it allowed the entries of only 10 farms on each schedule. It was folded in the center, thus making 4 pages carrying 256 questions.

At the census of 1900 the individual schedule was used for the :first time. It was of convenient form and had the advantage of showing the info~ation for each fa1'm on one compact sheet. It carried a totnl of 306 questions. . . .

In addition to the general mstruct1ons m pamphlet form, explanations were made o~ the sched~e itself, and minute directions for making the entnes were

given to enumerators in a circular containing illus­trative examples mueh like those shown for 1910 anti printed in this volume.

To provide for securing the number of liYe ill'toek on ranges, and ~ther important in1orm.at5.on rebtting thereto, a specrnl schedule was pre1iared for the census of 1900. It was of the .same size as tlhe ge:neni.I. schedule for agriculture, and while the qU61B;timll! per­taining to live stock were the sttme, those eionooming subjects other than live stock were fonnulated to apply specially to the conditio):U; poo:u.U11J' to }'.'~ or ranches, and consequently . d.U!e.red in ~ instances from the queries to be found m ~ &t:m schedule.

In addition to the two schedules abO'Ve noted a special form for the enumeration of live stock not Olil

f arm'l or ranges was placed in the .hands of all entllliller­ators. The classification of animals was uniform 'Wi:tb. that ill the other.schedules.

At the census of H'llO the individual schedule was used, as. in 1900. It confafu.e<l in all 56('.l questiOiO!l, a material increase over 1900 {'70 per cent),

In addition to· the explans.tions cm the seh.edale itself, general instructions containing ~tive examples were pllblfahed in pamphlet form. There was no separate schedule for live stock on ranges in 1910

1 live stock on farms and ranges being reported

on the regular schedule. In addition to the above schedaJ.e tt specid form for

the enumeration of live atock'n,Ot on fmns md i::mges was used. The classification of a,pimlli'ls W!l8 uni£Q[:m. with that ill the regulii.r agrlcultµral sch:edule.

A special schedule WlllS also :isaiued ftY.r ~ """ ports for plantations, one for fldrist:s' e&Ub~, and one for nurseries. A n~bet of supplementiflil schedules were used for speci8.1 investigatWm, copWB of which are shown in c~ti011.w,itJi the ~mg reports on these investigatio~. • .

The following pages c.onta.m eop1es of t:he instm~ tions to enumerators and of the various schedul:e$ used at the censuses of 1900 and 1910. The ~hed­ules and instructions for earlier censuses were pnnteft in full at the end of the first volume of the Peporlt lilill agriculture for the Twelfth Census (Volume V of ~ Reports).

The person however, who opemtes a farm and pays its owner a fixed quanti~ of produce or money, or a share of all that is raised is a tenant even .though he is su~ject to some direction and c;ntrol by th~ owne1 of the land, as is frequently the case in the Southern states . Tl:e .farm wo.rker is to be classed as a hired laborer or manage~ if lua income IS guaranteed by the owner or tenant of the land and he assumes no risks of crop failure or other contingencies. He becomes 11 tenant when he, rather than the owner aaaumes the risks a.ttending the operation of the land. '

Farms or ranches with live stock on the range.-In most of the states west of the Mississippi River are farms or ranches with domestic animals which, during a portion or the whole of the year, feed upon the unfenced or fenced public domain. Such animals are usually spoken of as range cattle, horses, or sheep. When a fa~m or ranch is found which utilizes the public domain or range in tlua manner, the schedule for the same should have the word "RANGE" written in large letters across its face. That schedule should give for this farm or ranch its area in acres, its value, acre­age, quantities, 11nd values of the field crops or product, the same as for any other farm. In reporting the live stock of such a farm or ranch, give the tottil number of animals connected with the same, including those fed upon the range and cared. for in connec-1;ion with the farm or ranch reported. If a ranch makes use of Janel belonging to 11 state or the National Government, or to a rail­road or other corporation, and it has leased such land and pays a rental therefor, the acreage of such leased land should be included in the acreage repor1-.ed for the farm or ranch, and in the reported value of the farm should be included an estimate of the value of such leased lands. When a range is operated with cattle on ·the public domain, and the owner of the animals· does not own or lease a11y land which is used in connection with the care of such animals, a schedule is to be.filled for such range the same as for an ordinary farm, omitting the acreage and value of lands.

Must or u:nfermented pape juice, when produced 00 a farm, should be reported as wine.

Units of weight and measure.-When any grain, vegetable, fruit nu~, or other farm product is tisually sold by a different moo.'ilure 0 ;

TWELFTH CENSUS OF THE UNITED STATES.

STATISTICS OF AGRICULTURE.

RANGE A~IMALS AND LIVE STOCK RANCHES.

DEl'ARTMEN'r OF THE INTERIOR, CENSUS OFFICE,

Washington, D. C., May 1, 1900. Charles F. Martin, of Denver, Colo., hus been appointed in

accordance with law special agent of the Census Office for the col­lection of statistics relating to live stock on the ranges, under the general supervision of L. G. Powers, Chief Statistician of the Divi­sion of Agriculture. Special tigents thus appointed have all the authority of census enumerators under the ad of March 3 1899 and are empowered to conduct in their own names the corr~spondence relating to the industry assigned them. ·

This schedule has been prepared to assist in collecting the sta­tistics relating to live stock ranches and domestic animals on the mnge in the Westerii states. By means of this ·schedule, the gen­eral agricultural schedule, and that for live stock in cities and towns, it is the purpose of the Census Office to bring qut a full and relfable exhibit of the number ond value of the domestic animals in the United States, June 1, 1900, and the leading facts relating to agriculture. 'ro this end the Director of the Census snlicits the cooperation of n,11 intereste-).

The proprietors of live stock ranches and owners of range cattle, to whom this blank is sent, are earnestly requested to fill out and return tho schedule promptly. If it is impossible to give an exact answer to any of the inquiries, estimates may and should be given, but such estimates should be made with exceeding care. If the domestic animals owned by an individual, firm, or corporation are under tho supervision of a number of overseers or ranch foremen, separate schedules should be returned for the land and animals under tho care of each overseer or foreman. Additional blanks will be sent on application if desired. Immediately on receiving the schedule, properly filled, there will be returned a receipt, which should be preserved and delivered to the census enumerator next June, as it will be accepted by him in place of the report which

·he is directed to collect from all managers of farms and ranches. . Stockmen are assured that their answers will be regarded as strictly confrdential, and will not be disclosed to any person not connected with the Census Office. No publication will be made in the census reports that will reveal the names or operations of individuals, lirms, or corporations, and the data secured will not be used in connection with any system of taxation, or in any way that will affect adversely the interest of those reporting.

The Director, while fully acknowledging his obligation to and dependence upon stockmen, desires to impress upon all that the time and labor devoted to furnishing the facts requested are in their interest and that upon the completeness of their returns may depend mucl1 of the future progress of the industry of raising domestic animals.

A careful report on this blank, and its prompt return in the in.closed envelope, which requires no postage, is solicited.

Very respectfully, WILLIAM R. MERRIAM,

Director of the Gensua.

Retired farmers are not "farm operators."-No schedule should bo obtained for 11uy i·otired former or other farm owner when tho form

SCHEDULES: 1850 TO 1910. 915 is ~perated ~or such person by a manager or tenant, even though the fat m operations may be supervised by such retired farmer m farm ow:ner. In all such cases the manager or tenant is the farm opera­tor and the farm should be returned in his name.

Schedules to be returned.-Prepare a. schedule for the farm of e;ery fari;n operator who lives in your enumeration district whether ~18 farm lies wholly in. yoUl' district, partly in yoill' district ~nd partly lll another, or wholly lil another. As a rule one (and only one) gen­eral f~rm schedule should be returned for each farm operator. But to tlllS rule there is one general exception. If a farm operator operates two separate trac;ts of land as a hired manager for two differ­ent owners, or one tract as an owner, part owner, or tenant, and another as manager, a separate schedule should be returned :for each, as each represents a separate enterprise.

Procedure where farm operator does not reside in the enumera­tion Cl.istrict in which his farm is situated.-To assist in securing a schedule for every farm, you are provided with "nonresident farmer's slips" (Form 8-1867). Whenever you learn of a farm situated in your enumeration district, but operated by an individual residing in another enumeration district, do not try to obtain a schedule for such farm, but fill out one of these slips in duplicate and forward both copies to your supervisor, as directed on that slip.

If an individual residing within your district works a farm lying wholly within another district, prepare a schedule for such farm, as for other farms, and write across the schedule in large letters FARM NOT IN THIS DISTRICT. Attach tosuchscheduleamemoran­dum stating the name of the minor civil division, as township, borough, precinct, etc., and, if known to you, the number of the enu­meration district in which the farm is located or the name of the· enumerator of that district. If you have received a "nonresident farmer's slip'' from your supervisor relating to the farm, attach it to tl1e schedule prepared by you for that farm.

If, for any reason, you find that no schedule should be made for a "1i.onresident farmer's slip" sent to you, you should return the slip" to your supervisor with a memorandum on the back stating why no schedule is returned.

Change of farm operators.-You should not omit the report of the crops of 1909 for a f111•m becalise it has changed operators between 1J10 close of the crop year 1909 and April 15, 1910. Such a farm should be reported in the name of the person in possession on April 15, 1910, and not in the name of the former operator. Of course, obtain from tlie present operator the statistics of live stock, imple­ments, machinery, and farm value on Apri.115, 1910, as for any other farm. If tl1e previous occupant can be reached, secure from him the returns of the crops of 1909; otherwise secure estimates of them from the most reliable source. In the case of farms operated by tenants 1Jiis information can generally be best obtained from tlie owners of tlie farms or their agents, if they are accessible.

Changes in size· of farm.-lf a tract of land which in 1909 was divided and cultivated by two or more persons is cultivated by one person on April 15, 1910, report it as only one farm. ~r, vice versa, ii' that which in 1909 was one farm is operated on Apnl 15, 1910, as two or more distinct farms, report as many farms as there are separate owners, managers, or tenants.

Ranches using public lands.-The farm of a ranchman using the public domain includes only the land which he own~ or leases. ~f he leases public land or any other land, such ~and 18 ~part.of his farm. But liis farm does not include any public land for which he pays no rental or ltpon which live stock are grazed at a fixed cha~ge per head. Across the head of schedules for farm~ and ranches usmg public lands for grazing live stock write RANGE m la;ge lette;s. In cases where cattle are grazed wholly upon the public domam and the owner of the animals does not own or lease. any land, fill out a schedule for the owner the same as for any ordinary farm op~ra~r, omitting answers, however, to Inquiries 10 to 15 and wi;?11g m answer to Inquiry 6 the words "No lan~ owned or ~eased.

Tenure. (Inquiry 6.)-Farms are classified, accord?11g to ~e form of their tenure, in 7 c'lasses, as fully defined in the IDBtructions on

for the same.

Note also the important distinction betwoon owner a:nd part c . . If the farm operator, in addition to operating a Wm. owned by;:.· operates a tract of land that is leased by him from oome one else, h~ shou~d ~e returned as part owner, as only part of the J.imd .openi.ted by him ll! owned by him.

Likewise be careful not to confuse part owner with OWPW w tenant. In the census claesification owner am teiw:nt refexa to the case where two pe:rsom (or more) operate the1111.me fum, 0000~ the land and the other receiving in return for lrls coopen,tion and labor a share of the products. In such caaes the &lllnli'er to Inquiry 6 sho~ld b? owner and tenant, and the nam~ of berth penions Bihookl ba givenin answer to Inquiry 1. Inquiries 3, 4, and 5 are to be fill«I out for the owner of the farm only.

. A tenant .is a farm operator who lea.ses all the limd ~ hy him. It will be noted that provision is made for three c~ af tenants-share tenant, cash tenant, and lihaNJ-OOBJi witz11t. It t~ becomes necessary, in all caoos where the farm operator ill a ~t for you to determine to which of these three dllallell he bel~. ~ depends on the terms of his lease or the kind of rent he pay11 i« UHl use of the land.

If he pays a proportionate share of the productii « cropa, •y OM­

half or one-third, to the owner for the use o! the land, then be ill a share tenant and should be so retUl'lled. But if (1) oo pay;i a fi:x.ed rental in money, say $200 a year, or (2) a fltatOO ~to! prod~., say 100 bushels of wheat or 5 bales of cotton, Cl'l' (3) if he~ t!:I work for the owner of the land a specit!ied mtmber m days, sy ~ . days every week, theri in either caae he iii a titbh ~ad~ beso retUilled. It should be noted, therali0?0, tha.t tihe vli!l'd •, as here used, meallB not necessarily money, but a d&iinite llU!ld hed amount of either money, produce, or la.bar, a;.ii the CMe :m&y be, p:W as rent.

It may happen that a tenant pays both li::i.oo. of mint. Re BllllY pay for a single tract of land both a fixed ~t of~.~, or labor, and a proportionate share of the crops, Q\I" he may rent me tract of land on one basis and llJl(}ther txaet Cl!!. the Olther bali!;, bl both such cases he is to be returned as a 1Mir~ tmat.

Value of implements and machinery be1mJgb:tg to farm.-.Beptl.fi in answer tolnquiry16 thevalueof&llimplemen,tl:!, ~,ete., used on the farm and permanently kept there, whether~~ to the farm operator or not.

Domestio animals and bees on the fa:nn.-Report all d~ animals on the farm on April 15, 1910. The phmae IJI% thejl!mlf;, in the case of all farms other than those using the public domlllin meM.11

SCHEDULES: 1850 TO 1910. 917 effort should be made to ask such questions of the farmers rui will discl?se the facts necessary to secure correct answers to inquiries rel~t1ve to tenure (Inquiry 6), area (Inquiry 10), value of farm (In­quiry 14), and land owned but leruied, etc., to others (Inquiry 26).

Among the first questions ,to be a.sked of the farm operator to He­cure the information here mentioned arc the following: (a) "Do you own your farm, or does it belong to others?" If the answer is" I own it,'' ask such further questions as (b) "How mru1y acres of land do yon own'?" (c) "Do you use_t1ll of the lru1d which you own?" (r/) "Do you rent some of it to others as tenant.Y?" (e) "Do you hire any lruul from ot.herR which you UHC in connection wit.h your own land in growing.crops and pasturing live stoc.:k?" If the answer iIJ question (c) iH ''No,'' ask such further questions aR will secure correct answers to Inquiries 10, 14, and 26. If the answer to question (e) i~ "YeH," llllk such further questions as will secure the facts for answers to these schedule inquiries and also those regarding mixed tenure (Inquiries 17, 18, UJlCl HJ). If the answer to question (a) is "Farm belongs to others,'' ask such further questions as will secure correct answers to all the schedule inquiries regarding tenure (Inquirie~ 6, 17, 18, and 19).

In the case of Ftirm A, the questions are printed in full exactly as they appear on the complete schedule that will be used in taking the census of agriculture. In the case of the other two farms, the explnnations that accompany the inquiries on the schedule are omit­ted to save space. Those inquiries for which no facts are given in the narratives are omitted altogether.

A. Farm of an owner.-The first farm visited by the enumerator is tlmt of IIemy Wilson, of Waynesville, Pulaski County, Mo. He is a white man, 50 years of age, was born in the United States, and his name is entered on population schedule on sheet 1, line 1. He owns 190 acres of land, on which he has lived for ten years. He operates 180 acres of this land himself and rents 10 acres to a neigh­bor, Frank Jones. (See second illustrative example-B. Farm of a part owner.) His farm, therefore, for census purposes, consists of 180 ttcl'es, and this is the land whose area and value are reported in answer to Inquiries 10 to 15 and for which the animals and products are to be reported in answer to Inquirie.s 27 to 50. Of the 180 acres operated by himself, 120 acres are improved, 50 acres are in timber land, and 10 acres in swamp. The total value of his farm of 180 aeres, including buildings, is $5,700; he valuefl the buildings at $1,000. 'l'he implements and machinery on the farm are worth $250. During 1909 he paid the farm laborer whom he hired by the month $50 in cash and in addition ga.ve him a horse valued at $100. He hired day labor during the harvest season at a cash expense of $50. The value of the board furnished these laborers is estimated at $50. He paid $25 for bran and other feed for his live stock. He also bought $10 worth of commercial fertilizer. There is a mortgage of $2 500 on t;he land owned by Mr. Wilson. The 10 acres which he re~ts to Frank Jones are valued at $300. For method of reporting on Mr. Wilson's schedule the value of the land leased to Mr. Jones, see

PLANTATION SCHEDULE. IBR'T-4061

GENERAL INSTRUCTIONS.

FOR INFORMATION OF CENSUS SUPERVISORS AND ENUMERATORS, AND OWNERS, MANAGERS, OR OVERSEERS OF PLANTA'l'10N8.

Purpose of the sohedule.-The purpose of this schedule is to pro­vide the means by which the special difficulties presented in the enumeration of groups of farms operated in the Southern states under what is generally known as the plantation system may be met. 'l'heHo difllculties arise from the following facts among others: . Many of tho questions contained on the general farm schedule, to be fillml out for euch tenunt farm sepurately, either can not be accu-1·ately !t!Hl completely ttnswcred by the tenants themselves or can bo much more aecurntely tinswercd by the landlord. Many of the pmHonL tcmantH did not operate in 1909 the farm that they are now operating. 'l'ho crops arc in many cases marketed by the landlord. In many ct1HcR part or all of tho farm implements and machinery and domoHt.io aninmls made use of by the tenants are not owned by them but by Uw hludlord, and may or may not be left in the possession of tho tonnnLH on their farms. 'l'he landlord in some cases makes oxpomlit.nrnH for lttbor and fertilizer on the farms of the tenants as well nH on Lho pttrt of the plantation farmed directly by him. Unless, l.lwroforo, H1wdt1l precautions, such as are provided for by this sched­ulo, aro ttl!rnn, there is grave danger either that omissions will be mti1lo in l'(ILnmiug form animals, crops, expenditmes, and the like, or !lrnt. <lnpli<~aLionH will 1·eRuH on account of returns being made both by tho landlonl m1d by the tenants. If a proper use is made of thiH H<'lwdnh•, not. only will this danger be avoided, but the enu­momt.or will Jin<! that. his work will be much facilitated.

'.l'hiH Hdw<lufo iH to bo nAod only for those plantations which have at lnaHL lhr1·c lmu1nlH. It; docs not supersede the farm schedule (Form H·-IO(M) which Ht.ill must be illled out for the farm proper of t.lw htmllor<l ( ilrnt, is, till that. part. of the plantation which is not famwtl by lmmntH) anti for mwh tenant; farm; but His designed to tie up tht1Ho farm Hdw<luh!R to the plttntation to which they belong, to irrnuro grmLnr 1wt~m·acy in Lhe returns and to make possible the slnLiat.i<:al t.rmi,tmont of Lho plantation as a unit.

Defluition 6f plantation.-'l'ho term "plantation," as here used, motUlH n. mnt.inuous 1.mct of hind ·of considerable area under the gouortil Hup01·viAion or control of a Hingle individual or firm, all or a p11.r1. of HU<'h 1md. hoing divil~~d. into at~.

of the landlord in some cases may not include any agricultural land, but only the house, barnB, etc., and the land on which they 11tand. ;t'he acreage of thid farm, plus the acreage of the tenant farmil, flhould m all cases equal the total acreage of the plantation. The total number of farms into which, for census pu:rposes, the plauta.tion is divided, is therefore equal to the total number of tenant farol!!, plWJ the farm of the landlord. If,' for example, there are ten tenants, the total number of farms on the plantation is eleven and, therefore, the total number of general farm BChedules to be filled out for the plantation is eleven.

SchedUles to be filled out.-Where plantatiollll are fOlllld u above , described, the following schedules are to be filled -0ut:

1. ·The plantation schedule. 2. A general farm schedule (Form S-1604) for the farm of the liwd•

lord, as above described. 3. A general farm schedule (Form S-1604) for ea.ch tenant's faa:m,

as above described. Information to be secured from the landllnd.-Tbe ~kl!:'

should first go to the landlord and secure from him the tin;t two Echedules. In doing this great ca.re must be ~ oo the following points:

(1) The return for the farm of the landlord must rela.te to all the land and operations of the landlord not CQVernd by the flll'l'lll!I of the tenants;

(2) The·retum made in Part II of the plantation echeduleior tae farm of the landlord must agree with the general :Wm flC'hednle secured for the landlord;

(3) Tho returns made in Part II of the plantation schedule, rela­tive to value of implemen1:B and machinery, and number of domestic: animals, must relate only to implements, machinery, and ~ owned by the landlord.

( 4) The return for principal crops raised in 1909, made in Pvt 1I of the plantation schedule, should not be entered in inkfor the fmnsm tenants e~cept (1) where the inquiry "Did tenant f!lil'Ill thlB land in 1909" (column 4, Part II) ie answered "No," and (2) where the landlord is able to give this information more aceurately thm the tenants themeelves can give it. If there is any doubt about the accuracy of the answer given by the landlord in the second cmie the entry should be made in pencil and the compl~~ or mo~ ~ return entered in ink after the enumerator has VIBlt:ed the ind1v1dmtl tenants and secured reports from them. As thus verified a;nd cor­rected the figures must agree with those entered on the general :f&rm schedules secured for such tenants.

Partial filling-in of general farm schedules for tenants.-After the euumerator has secured this plantation schedule and the general farm schedule for the landlord, he should, irom the da;ta contli.bed on the plantation schedule and such other info~tion M the land­lord can furnish, proceed to fill out as far llS he C8;Il a genera.~ !um schedule for the farm of each tenant of the plantatvm. whc> Tl:$~ in

his district. The landlord can thus answer with ce~mty questwll8 1 to 15 of the general farm schedule, with the exceptl(!n of 4, 5, and 7. If the landlord knows that a tenant owns no im~lementa, ll'Jll.­

chinery, horses, mulos, or milch cows, the fi~res given for thESe items in Part lI of the plantation schedule will be the onee that -' · lcl be entered on the general farn1 srhedukl for such tenant. wlOU • inf • these 'ln!" Il the landlord does not have definite ormat1on on .PO. ...., 110 attempt should be JlllLde to fill in the answers to sueh queetioIJB, or the figures should'be entered in per:cil, .oo tha~ they t~l be changed if necessary after full iniorma.tion 1B obt.auted from the
