ACCURATE CROP REPORTS.

Secretary Morton Addressed Board of
Trade Delegates on the Subject.
WASHINGTON, April 16.-At the meet
ing of the National Board of Trade
delegates yesterday Secretary of Agri-
culture Morton, being asked to address
the gathering, said he presumed the
delegates were aware they were
entering upon an inquiry of great
gravity and difficulty. 1t was matter
between two great classes, the pro-
Queer and consumers, as to what was
needed, he said, in order to get accu-
rate statistics. He said an annual
crop census was needed. after which
approximate facts fcrop acreage could
be obtained. Some persons thought
this was too costly. He had dis
cussed the matter with the presi-
dent and had believed it was the only
way. 1t had been estimated it would
cost $500 900 Il year, but the secretary
believed, even if it should cost three
times as much as this, it would be
money well expended. He assured the
members present that the agricultural
department was anxious to cooperate
with them in improving the crop re-
ports.

they said so. Then arose disputes as
to the precise nature of the architec-
ture. Finally sundry big wagers were
made, and then the architect proceed
ed gravely to explain the structure of
the column and its capital This he
did by producing his Malacca walking
