Book excerpt: Excerpt from Farm Population: Characteristics of Farm-Operator Households by Number of Young Children This report presents data on ratios of children to women of childbearing age in farm operator households derived from a sample of the returns of the 1950 Censuses of Fopu lation and Agriculture. The matching of data from these two censuses for identical persons offered the opportunity to relate the childbearing patterns in farm-operator households to some of the major features of their farm operation.'4 The sample data are subject to a certain degree of variability, of course, as described in the section on Source and Reliability of Data. The measure of fertility used is the number of children under 5 years old per 1, 000 women 15 to 49 years old. This is commonly termed a fertility ratio. Even though this ratio is a measure of recent rather than lifetime fertility, it is, in the absence of statistics on the total number of children born per woman, a useful index of variation in family size among groups.
