Excerpt from Suggestions Concerning Checking and Tabulating Farm Management Survey Data: A Desk Manual for Investigators The value of the farm management survey as a means of analyzing the agriculture of a locality is now quite generally recognized. Such an analysis reveals both the points of excellence and the defects of the local farming. The difficulties connected with work of this character and the very general interest in it render it desirable to set forth the methods required for satisfactory work. So far as may be at the present time, this is done in the following pages. It is assumed that the reader is familiar with the methods of gathering such data in the field. It is the use of the data after it is collected that is here considered. The subject will be briefly treated from the following standpoints: 1. Checking the office sheets. 2. Preliminary calculations. 3. Principles of tabulation. 4. Classification of farms by tenure. 5. Suggested tables. Checking Survey Records. Survey records are taken on field blanks and later transferred to the survey record sheet, or office blank. These transfers should be made daily as the collecting of the data progresses. They should then be checked in accordance with the suggestions below, and where inconsistency or incompleteness is found, another visit should be made to the farm. Where a survey party consists of several men, one member should be expert in checking records. At the close of each day's work each field man transfers his records from the field blanks to the office blanks. The next day the office man checks these records while the field men are taking new records. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
