CROP ESTIMATES GROW i
MORE ACCURATE YEARLY
' Washington, Del. B.—The methcd of
}cstimaling the size of the country’s
farm crops has been so improved and
systematized that the actuai produc
tion of important products is now
made with a close degree of accuracy
by the bureau of crop estimates of the
(United States department of agricul
ture. Nearly two million schedules
| are handled each year by that bureau
|in making up the government monthly
crop reports. About one hundred and
sixty thousand names are constantly
making personal investigation, one
agent covering a stateffi and 105 clerks
}are employed in Washington handling
the large number of reports from the
‘voluntary crop reports and to keep
records of crop information of this and
lforeign countries.
So carefully and systematically has
the work been organized that the 1915
cotton crop estimate was only three
tenth ‘of one per cent less than the
amount actually ginned as reporied by
the census bureau after the close of
the season.
The most complete record in exist
ance is kept in the bureau of the es
timates and statistics relating to the
world’s crops and live stock.
SAVE COTTON SEED IS
GOVERNMENT’S ADVICE
Washington, Dec. B.—The United
States bureau of plant industry today
advised cotton growers to make cer-
THE CORDELE DISPATC H, SUNDAY, DEC. 10, 1916.
Itain of their sugply of sed for plant
|ing next seasomn.
’ “All kinds of cotton seed are likely
to be scarce at planting time next
Jspring, said the statement. “The un
’precodented prices now being paid at
the oil mills may tempt many farm
lers'to cut down their reserves of
plenting seed or to sell all of it, per
haps, with the idea of their being able
to buy seed of a better variety for only
a little more than the mills are now
naying for osdinary gin-run seed.
While it is always des'rable to replace
an inf=ricr stock with a Letter one, it
would be well to make sure of the
good planting seed as soon as possible.
[ “Another danger to the seed sunpply
lies in the poessibility that growers
’ who have good geed of superior varie
| tics may think itea sier to sell it at
icnce to oil mlils instead of helding it
to sell for planting. This is a special
' danger in connection with the new ear
!ly maturing long staple varieties. As
| only limited supplies of good seed
!of these varieties are in existence it
|may be urged that all of this should
ilfe saved for planting purposes.”

TOTAL LOSS OF THE l
ALLIES IS 15,000,000
Berlin, Dec. B.—The total losses of'

cording to figures given out by the |
Copeénhagen Association for Research |
into the Social Consequences of Ihn!
war, as quoted in an Overseas I\'cw:;j
Agency statement today. ‘
“Of this number,” says the news.

!Britain has lost 1,200,000 men, Russia |
8,500,000 France 3,700,000, Italy &00.-
|OOO, Servit 480,060, Belgium 220.000'
and Rumania 200,000. f
“These figures admit of curious cmx]
clusion. Thus, the losses of Servia,i’
Beiginm and Rumania are lhr('e-quar-i
ters those of the British, and in lhe’
Rumanian losses only those of the
irst two months cr included. These !
three small nations have in fact, |
made sacrifices as large as those of |
the great British empire. Itaiy has s:ui-}
fered already losses equal to two-|
| thirds of those of the British, althcugh |
she entered the war ten months later
than Great Britain. The French loss
es are three times as great as the
British and form almost one-quarter
of the tiotal of the whole entente,
wihle the Russian losses are seven
times greater than the British, which
comprise only 8 per cent of the total |
although in the the losses of the
