Often, individuals who were missed on the regular U.S. census will appear on the agricultural census. Six of the agricultural census's original forty-eight columns are transcribed here: name of owner, improved acreage, unimproved acreage, cash value of farm, value of farm implements and machinery, and value of livestock. This volume covers the parishes of: Morehouse, Natchitoches, Orleans, Ouachita, Plaquemines, Point Coupe', Rapides, Sabine, Saint Bernard, St. Charles, St. Helena, St. James, St. Jean the Baptist, St. Landry, St. Martin, St. Mary, St. Tammany, Tensas, Terrebonne, Union, Vermilion, Washington, and Winn. A surname index augments the records.
