NFU Says Cansus
Wilt Cast Rural
Argot Nino Rep.
■ The M7O census will cost rural
area* in the nation the loss of
nine congressmen, according to
prelections of the National Farm
ers'Union.
The NFU projects a loss of one
congressman in nine states; Illi
nois, lowa, Michigan, North Da
kota, Ohio, Oklahoma, West Vir
ginia, Wisconsin, and New York.
California is slated to become
the biggest state and pick up six
congressmen. Florida is expected
to gain two, Texas one, Auzona
one and Colorado one
Most of the population growth
in the past 10 years has been in
the large urban areas
The 1960 census indicated
there were only 83 congiessional
districts in which moie than 15
per cent of the population lived
on farms. This number will be
considerably reduced when the
new apportionment is completed,
the NFU said.
100,000 doctors have given up
cigarettes. You can too, says the
American Cancer Society.
