The Bureau of Statistics of the Depart- ment of Agriculture, disturbed by com- plaints of discrepancies between the de- partment’s crop reports and various com- mercial estimates, has determined to make an investigation with the view of insuring absolute accuracy in future re- ports. The subject has been thoroughly con sidered in the department and Secretary Wilson has authorized Statistician John Hyde to use every available means to ascertain wherein the differences lie. It the closest possible investigation, taking its origin, whether of this year's crop or of that of another season. Mr. Hyde has been impressed with the idea that much cotton of the com- credit of crops to which it does not be- long. Frequently crops of a past seasor This will be one of the main features of the investigation. A cpnsiderable lot of cotton is said to be included in the esti- mates from commercial sources which belongs to what is called the “city crop,” which consists of cotton that, in market sampling from season to season in many of the large towns, accumulates in con siderable quantities. The effort of the department will directed to insure the greatest possible accuracy in estimates as to on hand, as well as to gleaning information which will tend to absolute reliability in the department's estimates of The early maturing of cott } much of it geting to mar and August and taking with last season, will be treated in t be gathered by the experts ass make the investigation be cotton CY i 118 Seasor, i sls during July cotton of fata § dia i To Build Military Road.
