Description: Shows how crop and livestock reporting serves as a guide for farmers in more productive use of land and raising of stock. Traces this history and functions of this service from its days under the U.S. Patent Office through its inclusion under the then new Department of Agriculture in 1862, to present. The reporting techniques are followed from the time questionnaires are mailed, through the analysis of data given by farmers, to final release of information to the public.
