1921 Enumerations in Canada

I found an article in the local newspaper archives about the coming enumerations in Canada in June of 1921 and I can't wait for it to come out. According to the article, the census is supposed to collect more agricultural information about the individual families, not just the farmers, but anyone who has a backyard garden has to show how much produce the garden yielded, even if there was just one plant, they wanted to know about it.

Here's a transcription:

Information About Census

Arrangements are already going forward under the direction of the Dominion government preparing the way for the official census of the whole of Canada immediately after June 1st. In order that our readers may have some idea of what to be prepared for in the way of questions, we have summarized the following information to think over in the meantime. The enumeration will begin by finding out exactly every man, woman and child in the Dominion at the hour of midnight when May 31st is giving place t0 June 1st. If you have a patch of garden no bigger than a man's hand that grows one currant bush capable of producing one quart of berries, that quart will swell the total. If you have a brood of the most tiny chickens. so will they. For not only must the farmer make complete returns of almost every blade of grass, but so must the town folks of the products of their gardens and their hen houses. The Essex enumerators have received implicit instructions from Ottawa about making the census.There are really four forms to be filled in as follows: 1. Covering the ordinary household or place of permanent residence. 2. Covering deaf mutes and blind people. 3.Covering business firms, giving the class of business (wholesale, retail or manufacturing) and the kind or nature of the business. Covering products other than those grown on farms. So that the Essex people will have to supply details as to the number of horses, mules, cattle, poultry, bees, gardens, and hot houses, fruit trees and fruit. They will have to tell the number of apple, plum, pear and cherry trees that flourished in their back yards during 1920, and the tonnage of each fruit tree harvested, also how many quarts or boxes of small fruit such as grapes, strawberries and raspberries they gathered in. The ordinary form (No.1) which the enumerator will fill in at every house has some 34 details to be filled in as follows: Names of each person in the house, street, town. Is the house owned or rented. If rented, what rent.Class of houses. Materials of construction.Rooms occupied by family. Relationship to head of family. Sex, single or married. Age last birthday. Where person born. Where father born.Where mother born. If born outside of Canada, year of immigration. If a foreigner, year of naturalization. Nationality, racial or tribal origin. Can speak English. Can speak French. Can speak any other language. Religious denomination.Can read. Can write. Months at school since September 1920 (children). Chief occupation or trade. Employer, employees working on own account. Total earnings in past twelve months.If out of work on June 1st,1921. Number of weeks unemployed in the past twelve months. Number of weeks unemployed from June 1st 1920 because of illness. The enumerator has to go into every house in Essex to get this information. The principal is simple, where a man sleeps, there will his census be taken. The census enumerators are very insistent that peoples should understand that facts or answers given to enumerators my not be used except for statistical compilation ( the rest is illegible).
