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 counties of: Anderson, Angelina, Austin, Bastrop, Bexar, Bowie, Brazoria, Brazos, Burleson, Caldwell, Calhoun, Cameron, Cass, Cherokee, Collin, Colorado, Comal, Cooke, Dallas, Denton, DeWitt, Ellis and Tarrant, Fannin, Fayette, Fort Bend, Galveston, Gillespie, Goliad, Gonzales, Grayson, Grimes, Guadalupe, Harris, Harrison, Hays, Henderson, Hopkins, Houston and Hunt. A surname index augments the records.
