Thanks -Kay, FL Jefferson Democrat Thursday, May 29, 1890 ~Farmers and the Census~ The census year began June 1, 1889, and ends May 31, 1890. Each state has from one to eleven supervisors' districts..... Every farm will be visited before June 30, and the following questions will be asked.... (1) Your name as occupant of the farm. (2) Are you owner, renter for money, or for share of the crops of the farm? .... (4) Number of acres of land, improved and unimproved.....(39) Vineyards: Number of acres in vines bearing and in young vines not bearing; products and grapes and raisins, and value in 1889. ......and if the farms will now cheerfully co-operate with the enumerators and other officials to promptly furnish the correct figures more comprehensive returns regarding our greatest industry will be obtained than ever before. ==== MOJEFFER Mailing List ==== Please remember that RESPECT and COURTESY is a must and flaming will not be allowed; DO NOT post grievances to the list.
