The Department of Agriculture was established in 1877 with a 7-member board (governor, state geologist, master of the grange, president of the agricultural society, president of the university, 'and two farmers). Beginning in 1883 the Board was elected by the General Assembly, one member from each of the 9 ,congressional districts. Of the early programs--statistics, sheep industry, restocking of streams, immigration, etc.--one of the most successful was the regulation of commercial fertilizers. Until 1899 the Board chose the commissioner; since that time the office has been elective. The commissioner has been a member of the Council of State since 1944.

FAR}! CENSUS REPORTS, 1925-1945.

AGRICULTURE, DEPARTMENT OF Statistics· [Crop] Division

Accession information: Farm Census records were received in August, 1947,· and January, 1948. Under agreement with the Commissioner of Agriculture, these records through 1946 have been destroyed except for the years 1921, 1925, 1935, and 1945. See correspondence in State Archivist's file for 1957, "Records - Authorization for Disposal." Farm Census records for 1921 were microfilmed, Mf. #5.4.4, and the originals destroyed.

Schedule reference: Arrangement: Find ing Aid:

Reports are arranged by counties under each year. Originally prepared in September, 1958.

Revised: March, 1973, Ellen Z. McGrew.

The farm census is a cooperative effort by the State Department of Agriculture, the United States Department of Agriculture, and the commissioners of the respective counties, conducted annually [except for 1949] since 1921. A statute of 1921 [Public Laws of North Carolina, c. 201] provided for cooperation in gathering and disseminating information, required that forms be issued to the tax-listers in the counties, and that these officials return the for~ms properly completed. A 1941 act [c. 343] rewrote and enlarged the 1921 act, requiring that at least 90% of the tracts in a county be covered before the listers be paid, exempting from consideration tracts of less than 3 acres, and specifying that the information be confidential.

, ,

I Accession :information: From Finding Aid of September 17, 1958: "The thresh-,

ing reports contained in this series are in reality a di~tinct and different set of r~cords, .• of relatively slight permanent value." A law of 1919 requ,ired licenses and reports from every operator of a power wheat threshing machine. Public Laws of North Carolina, 1935, c. 329, superseded and broadened the older act, making it apply to all crops, including peanuta. "For the most part, these reports have been filed by custom threshers, but they do not record the names and crop yields of individual farmers. This threshing file is certainly of less general value than is the crop census, since it covers fewer crops and fewer individual farmers, and it may well be that ~hen it has passed all possible administrative use, say after 20 years, it may be completely destroyed.
