Book excerpt: The tables on farm housing presented herewith are based on selected data from the farm-housing survey, a house-to-house canvass of farm homes in selected rural counties carried on in January and February of 1934 under the direction of the Bureau of Home Economics. The survey was designed to measure the potential demand for improved home facilities on farms. Tables 2 to 7 include data on 595,855 occupied farmhouses in 308 counties of 46 States, or 8.6 percent of the occupied farmhouses reported for the surveyed States in the Census of Agriculture for 1935.
