How Cotton Statistics are Obtained.
Eaekmonthly crop report issued
by the United States department oj ’
agriculture represents the co-opera
tion of an army of 250,000 men scat
tered through every farming com
munity in the United States.
This is a volunteer army in which
only a few of the field officers
ceive pay. The rank and file serve
for the love of the cause and for the
sake of having their names on the
mailing list of the agricultural de
partment for its publications. Under
the general direction of the secreta
ry of agriculture, the commander-in
chief of the entire force is John
Hyde, the statistician of ’the agri
cultural department, who is at pres
ent on his way home from Europe,
where he has been arranging for the
interchange of crop statistics be
tween the United States and Euro
pean countries.
Th6 correspondents who gather in
the information as to the state of
the com crop and other crops
throughout the United States are
divided into three classes. There
are in the country 2,750 counties of
agricultural importance. In each of
these counties the department has
a principal county correspondent.
These men are the non-commission
ed officers of the statistical army,
and are selected with great care and
with special reference to their quali
fiations for the service. Each coun
ty correspondent has three assist
ants, each of whom covers a spec
ified territory in the county. It is
the business of each assistant to ac
qUaint himself with the acreage un
der cultivation and the condition of
the growing crops in his territory.
He is furnished with blank forms, on
which he makes- monthly returns to
the county correspondent. The coun
ty correspondent consolidates these
returns, which he supplements with
the results of his own observation
and knowledge of the situation. He
then forwards his report direct to
the statistician in the department at
Washington.—Exchange.
One-fourth of the sea-carrying
power is in the hands of 30 large
companies of various nationalities.
Only one of these is American, and
it controls only 81,000 tons out of
the total of 5,616,000 tons controll
ed by the 30 companies. In the last
decade England has built 4,638 steel
steamers, with a capacity of 9,793,-
000 tons. In the same time America
ha» built only 465 steel steamers,
with a capacity of 743,000 tons, and
198 of these steamers, representing
450,000 tons, were for the inland
commerce of the great lakes.
