Acreage Survey
Will Be Made
Postmaster at Washington, Va. announced today that several farmer-patrons on Rural and Star Routes will receive }963 Acreage Survey cards from their carriers sometime during the week of September 16. Your Post Office assists the Department of Agriculture each year in making this and two other surveys. Acreage cards returned by farmers to their carriers will be mailed directly to the Virginia Crop Reporting Service in Richmond. Information from each card, if properly reported, will then be tabulated and combined with other reports to give indications of changes in acreages of crops harvested. Using these facts estimates for the Old Dominion's principal crops will be made. Other surveys provide the Crop Reporting Service with information on yields. From these estimates the outcome and probable size of each of the 1963 crops will be determined.
