| Sumario: | The article compares the data surveyed in the census records and the agricultural bulletin of the Second National Census of 1895 with the data on the Inspection of Settlements document of the 1895-1896 campaign pertaining to the Marcos Juárez Department. Three variables were considered: areas covered and cultivated, machines and tools, and rural population. The aim of this comparison was to assess the range and reliability of the data obtained by both surveys, at department and district levels, and also to identify particular characteristics of the Pampean Cordoba expansion at the end of the XIX century. The main findings show that the Census had a narrower range due to the deficient data collection in the Cruz Alta district. The comparison of data on machines and tools yielded less significant discrepancies thanks, in part, to greater ease of counting. Likewise, the population data recorded smaller differences, except for Cruz Alta, as a consequence of the simplicity of the count and the fact that this information was assumed to have no economic effect on the people surveyed. |
