The impact of geographic distortion due to the headquarters rule / Rick Burroughs.: CS21-601/12E-PDF
"The careful user of the published data might notice in a couple of Saskatchewan census divisions that the total area of farms is slightly larger than the geographical area of the entire census division. This will be brought to the attention of Census of Agriculture staff perhaps twice during the five year census cycle. This paper will explain how this error is introduced into the data, outline the factors that influence its impact and examine the effects on the data for two study areas using data from the 1986 Census of Agriculture"--Introduction.
