The tables included in this statiRtisal report were compiled from
data contained in the agricultural reports of the Cnus of the United
They are designed for use in studies of the interrelationihipe of
agricultural, forest and other uses of land.

.s made on My 1 1935, prior
The original compilatiozi
pletiori of the 1935 Census. At that time a few type'written copies we
sent to research agencies engaged in l*nd use studies. Since then the
demand for these data has been broadened by the land planning autivittes of
State and local bodies. To help meet this dend, the Pacific Northwest
Forest Experiment Station and the Oregon State Agricultural Experiment
Station have )oined in this pb1ication and dietribution of the original
tables revised to include the 1935 C.nau* data.
These tables present eunmarlee of the agricultur*1 land develop'
ment in Oregon for each sounty, a, group of selecte'1 counties. 'western
Oregon, eastern Oregon and the Stat.. by census years fro* 1880 to 1935
inclusive, excepting individual counties organised or materially changed
in area after 1880 and then from the o.e.sua next following organization
or material change to 1935.
Each table
ows the total amount of land in farms, the number
of farms, the avekage ie of tass, the aunt of improved land in farms,
and the amount of
woodland end woodlend pasture in. faria.
Special acknowl.
