The details of the comprehensive sys- tem employed by the department of agriculture in gathering the crop in formation from all over the dountry are interesting. There are 30,000 township correspondents scattered all over the Union, whose duty it is to go carefully over the territory and submit each month concrete information as to the condition of all kinds of crops. In addition to this branch, 3,000 “county correspondents” send in separate re ports from those of the township men. A state agent makes a further report direct from his agents, and an organ- ization In direct communication with the department, comprising seventeen traveling “field agents,” go about the country and make separate reports for groups of states. Special cotton cor- respondents are also employed to fur nish accurate information concerning the cotton yield. Five different reports are sent to Washington each month by five different sets of correspondents, This safeguards the government crop reports for accuracy jn Jocal crop re- and cost estimates for the millions of American farmers.

The Electric Fan. Back in the early eighties Dr. 8 8. Wheeler, an electrical engineer of New York, was experimenting with a small | electric motor. In the course of his ex- periments the doctor conceived the | idea that steamboats might be run | with electricity if the propellers could {| be directly connected to high speed | electric motors, doing away with all i the gears then in use in steam propul sion. With this idea in mind be bad a small screw propeller constructed and | fastened it to the armature shaft of his small motor. To his surprise the experiment resulted in a fine breeze of cooling air which more than delighted the experimenter, for the day was de. | cidedly hot. It is needless to add that { the experiments with screw propellers ended right there, and the engineer took up the study of the electric fan, | with the result that he soon perfected | the device untill it was a commercial | success, 3 | Bonnyclabber, i New drinks have sometimes a glori ious and brief popularity.
