AGRICULTURAL DAIRYING AND PASTORAL STATISTICS—SEASON 1946-47.

Memorandum to Farmers.

1. Required under the Commonwealth Census and Statistics Act 1905-1948, by the Government Statist, Adelaide, as agent for the Commonwealth Statistician. This form must be completed and returned in the enclosed envelope (which need not be stamped), to Officer-in-Charge, Police Station , within seven days of receipt. The returns are strictly confidential and will be used solely for statistical purposes. Under no circumstances whatever will particulars of any individual holding be disclosed to other individuals or Government Departments.

2. A separate return must be supplied for each holding unless the holdings are in close proximity and worked as one. The return should be made for the Hundred in which homestead is situated (Local Government Area if in County Adelaide).

3. The occupier of the holding (owner, lessee, or tenant), is responsible for the completion of the return and he must include all crops grown and live-stock thereon (and live-stock travelling), even though it be worked wholly or in part by share-farmers or others. If your share-farmers have left the district, or if, for any other reason, you cannot give exact particulars of their operations during the year, please include the best estimate you can of their operations. You are in a better position than any other person to make a reliable estimate of such operations.

1844.—2

4. If you are not the owner, lessee, or tenant of a property of at least one acre, or if you have no crops or live-stock on your holding, please write a note to that effect on the form before posting it back.

If you receive two forms for the one holding, please post them both back with a note on one explaining that your full particulars are included on the other.

If you are only a share-farmer, please forward your particulars to the occupier for inclusion on his form, and post your form back with a note explaining who is including your particulars.

5. Season.—A statement of one complete year’s rural operations is required. Generally speaking, particulars should be given for crops planted and harvested during , or planted during and harvested during the early months of . For crops that are practically matured, please make an estimate of the probable yield in such cases and include in your production total. In some exceptional cases, particular dates which the season should embrace are indicated against the name of the crop.

6. All crops grown on the holding are to be included. For example, if you have allotted to some person the yield from a certain paddock, include such area and the yield therefrom with your figures.

7. Total production must include all produce, whether sold directly, delivered to marketing boards, retained for seed, or stock feed, or disposed of in other ways, e.g., to a person holding a lien over the crop.

8. Failure of Crops.—Areas of crops, which failed entirely or partly, should be included in the crop and purpose for which they were intended when sown. If the whole crop failed, the letter ‘F’ should be placed in the appropriate column. Should the failure be only partial, the production therefrom should be shown.

9. Double Cropping.—Where two crops have been grown on the same area at different times during the year, such area must be included twice in the ‘Area Sown’ column on page 2. In the case of crops which may be cut more than once, include the area once only, but show the total of all harvestings as the total production from such area.

10. Do not duplicate the acreage of the same crop under ‘Grain, Hay, and Green Fodder’ When a crop is harvested for grain or hay it should not be counted as green fodder also.

11. An area on which two crops are grown together must be apportioned between the two crops.

Notes.—(1) Where two types of vegetables have been grown on the same area at different times during the period, such area must be shown in its appropriate place for each vegetable. (2) Where the area sown to any vegetable is less than one acre, express the area as a fraction of an acre, e.g., ¼, ⅛, or 1/16 as the case may be. (3) Where vegetables are grown between rows of trees in an orchard, estimate area sown to vegetables only.

For glasshouse tomatoes, show only area occupied by the glasshouses. Vegetables Grown for Seed.—See Item 36, page 2.

AGRICULTURAL, DAIRYING AND PASTORAL STATISTICS—SEASON

Under the Commonwealth Census and Statistics Act 1905-1946, all occupiers to whom this form is supplied must complete and return it Within Seven Days of receipt to Officer-in-Charge of the Police Station indicated below. All information given on this form is treated as strictly confidential.

Municipality Police Subdivision

Name of Occupier

Postal Address (including name of holding)

 

Instructions to Farmers.

1. It is necessary to collect and tabulate these returns at the earliest possible date. Each farmer throughout Australia is therefore being asked to give his utmost help to the police collectors by filling in his return promptly and correctly.

2. It is the responsibility of the occupier (owner, lessee, or tenant) of the holding to complete and lodge this return. He must sign the declaration at the foot of this page certifying that these instructions have been followed and he must show there the municipality in which the holding or the greater part thereof is situated.

3. When the occupier works more than one holding a separate return must be supplied for each, unless the holdings are in close proximity and worked as one. The return should be made for the municipality in which homestead is situated.

4. Season.—A statement of one complete year’s agricultural operations is required. The season is to be taken as that ended . Generally, all crops grown during the period to , are to be included; but it is not desired that this period should be adhered to so strictly as to divide what for any crop would be a normal harvesting period. Thus some crops at , will be practically matured, but may not be actually harvested for another month or two. Please make an estimate of the probable yield in such cases and include it in the total.

5. Share-farming.—The occupier of the holding (owner, lessee, or tenant) is responsible for completion of the return, and he must include all crops grown and live-stock belonging to the holding even though it be worked wholly or in part by share-farmers or others. If your share-farmers have left the district, or if, for any other reason, you can not give exact particulars of their operations during the year, please include the best estimate you can of their operations. You are in a better position than any other person to make a reliable estimate of such operations.

6. All crops grown on the holding are to be included. For example, if you have allotted to some person the yield from a certain paddock, include such area and the yield therefrom with your figures.

7. Total production must include all produce, whether sold directly, delivered to marketing boards, retained for seed, used for other purposes on the holding, or disposed of in other ways, e.g., to a person holding a lien over the crop.

8. Do not duplicate the acreage of the same crop under Grain, Hay, and Green Fodder. When a crop is harvested for Grain or Hay it should not be counted as Green Fodder.

9. Failure of Crops.—An area under any crop resulting in a partial or a total failure is to be shown as part of the area for which the crop was intended when sown; e.g., grain, hay, &c. If a crop intended for grain or hay was subsequently fed off entirely, the area is still to be shown under grain or hay and not under green fodder. In the case of a failure, write ‘F’ in the ‘Total Production’ column. Should the failure be only partial, the production therefrom should be shown.

10. Double Cropping.—Where two crops have been grown on the same area at different times during the year, such area must be included twice in the Area Sown column on page 2. In the case of crops, such as lucerne, which may be cut more than once, include the area once only, but show the total of all mowings as the total production from such area.

11. An area on which two crops are grown together mast be apportioned between the two crops according to their relative importance and counted once in the total area under crop.

12. All live-stock belonging to the holding to which this return applies should be included, even if they are agisting elsewhere on the . The wool from all sheep belonging to the holding should be included in your Total Wool Production on page 4, no matter where such sheep were shorn.

 

This Declaration must be Completed and Signed.

I, , hereby certify that the particulars, given, on pages 2, 3, and 4 of this Return relate to my holding(s) situated in the Municipality of , and that they are to the best of my knowledge and belief complete and correct.
