TOLLAND COUNTY FARMERS GO OVER THE TOP. Census is Being Taken i This Week. About 200 farmers in Tolland county are busy this week in obtaining figures from every farmer in Tolland county as to their possibilities in the line of food production. for the coming year. Practically every’ town -in the county has noW been heard from and the work has been' mapped out in such a way as to reach practically every farmer who is doing anything in the line of productioo or who has any possibili- ties for doing the same. After this census has been taken it will be pos- sible to find out just how much grain is being raised in the county and whether sufficient up-to-date machin- ery is near at hand to harvest and care for the same after harvesting. It will be possible to tell just how the livestock industry stands at the pres- ent time, and its possibilities for the future. It is intended to bring out just what the needs of the farmer are in the way of seeds for the maximum of production, how much livestock in the way of pigs, sheep, heifers, etc., that they may desire to place upon their farms, and perhaps what will be of as much value as anything, to learn what are the needs along the life of farm labor. Especial efforts are being made by the council of defense to help out along this line. It probably will not be possible. to supply every need that may arise, but it is desired to have the facts in hand as to just how much labor is required at the present time, and how much extra labor will be needed for harvesting the’ crops. With this information in hand, it will Every Town |be much easier to supply whatever may be needed. Nothing of this kind has been put through in the county since 1845, and it is believed by those who have'given the matter any study whatever that information of the most valuable kind and of a permanent character will be brought out by this farm survey. It will be mot only of value to the farmers but will show what Connecticut cities can depend upon along the line of home produced food products, and these home prod- ucts are going {o be needed to the ut- most extent the coming year.
