Author Description

Excerpt from Agricultural Statistics, 1960 For census years, many tables carry both census totals and this Depart ment's estimates. Generally, where there are appreciable differences between the census totals and this Department's final estimates, the processes of checking and revising estimates have indicated that some sources provide more nearly complete information about some items than the census has been able to obtain. For example, this Department's estimate of tobacco production can be considered more precise than census totals, because the estimates are revised in line with actual production as shown independently by Internal Revenue records and State records of tobacco sales. Sugar beet and sugarcane production and acreage estimates are adjusted to quantities actually reported by sugar factories. Check information on peanuts and rice is available from processors for areas sometimes including several States. In a number of Other instances allowances have been made for known incomplete ness of coverage by the census.
