How th Bureau of Statistics Doss tin Business. The bureau of statistics Issues each month detailed reports relating to ag ricultural conditions throughout the United States, the data upon which they arc based being obtained tbrougk a special field service, a corps of statt statistical agents and a large body of voluntary correspondents composed 01 the following classes: County corns spondenti, township correspondents. Individual farmers and special cotton correspondents. The special field service consists ol seventeen traveling agents, each as signed to report for a separate group of states. These agents are especially qualified by statistical training and practical knowledge of crops. They systematically travel over the district assigned to them, carefully note the development of each crop, keep to touch with best Informed opinion and render written and telegraphic reports monthly and at such other times as reaulrcd. There are forty-five state statistical agents, each located In n different state. Each reports for his state as a whole and maintains a corps of corre spondents entirely Independent of those reporting directly to the depart ment at Washington. These state sta tistical correspondents report each month directly to the state agent on schedules furnished him. The rejrts are then tabulated and, weighted ac cording to the relative product or area of the given crop in each county rep resented and are summarized by the state agent, who co-ordinates and an alyzes them in the light of his person al knowledge and conditions and from them prepares his reports to the de partment There are approximately 2.800 coun ties of agricultural Importance In the United States. In each the depart ment has a principal county corre spondent, who maintains an organisa tion of several assistants. Theso coun ty correspondents arc selected with special reference to their qualifications and constitute an efficient branch of the crop reporting service. They make the county the geographical unlt of their reports and after obtaining data each month from their assistants and supplementing these with information obtained from their own observation and knowledge report directly to the department at Washington. In the townships and voting pre cincts of the United States in which farming operations are extensively carried on the department has town ship correspondents, who make the township or precinct the geographical basis of reports, which they also send directly to the department each month. Finally at the end of the growing season a large number of Individual farmers and planters report on the re sults of their own Individual farming operations during the year. With regard to cotton, all the Infor mation from the foregoing sources Is supplemented by that furnished by special cotton correspondents, embrac ing a large number of persons Inti mately concerned In the cotton Indus try, and In addition inquiries In rela tion to acreage and yield per acre of cotton are addressed to the bureau of the census list of cotton glnners through the courtesy of that bureau.
