Bogue and Palmore’s technique for estimating direct fertility measures from indirect indicators IS applied to the 95 counties of Tennessee 1960 and 1970. Findings based on these data tentatively suggest that this technique may be better suited for cross-national research than for analysis of small population units. It is recommended that the “own child” method is more appropriate for estimating fertility when utilizing data on counties.
