Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Fourteenth Census, Agriculture; Bulletin: Farm Animals, Cattle, Swine, and Chickens; Farms Reporting, Number on Hand, and Farms Not Reporting, 1920; Calves, Pigs, and Chickens Raised, and Eggs Produced, 1919
The number of farms in the United States reporting cattle in 1920 was or per cent of all farms, as compared with farms in 1910, representing exactly the same percentage of the total number. The number of farms not reporting any cattle in 1920 was as compared with in 1910. The average number of cattle per farm reporting was in 1920 and in 1910.
The number of cattle on farms in the United States, according to the census of 1920, was while the number reported at the census of 1910 was In making comparisons between the two census years, however, the change in the date of enumeration must be taken into account. The 1910 census, taken as of April 15, included calves born between January 1 and April 15, 1910, or probably more than one-half of the calves born in the spring of that year. On the other hand, the cattle enumerated as of January 1, 1920, included large numbers of animals destined to be slaughtered or marketed before April 15. The number of cattle thus gained by the earlier enumeration in 1920 would offset to a great extent the number of spring calves included in the total for 1910.
The total number of cattle reported for 1920 exceeds the total number in 1910 by or per cent. The actual increase.
