OFFICIAL GUESSES ABOUT WHEAT.
IF PREVIOUS EFFORTS ARE a CRITERION. SEC
RETARY MoRToSs FIGURES WILL BE

WIDE OF THE TRUTH
To the Editor Of The Tribune
Sir: Now 1t is stated that the Agricul-
tural Department is going to determine the
per capita consumption OF wheat. II IL
much to be desired that the Department
will attempt such task. Under its pres
ent statistical management II has never
been found competent to determine anything
within what may be called astronomical distance
Of the truth and its latest and most ambitious e.
forts have merely iiscr"dited all its reports com
petely for those practically acquainted with busi-
ness. Until the Department can guess within CO..
0O0, 900 bushels OF the quantity Of wheat in farm
ers hands March J. 1t might probably defer any
more difficult endeavor.
In nine years ending Juna 30 1892. the net cx-
ports Of wheat oiciallv reported were O6i, $780,
O73 bushels -four included. and In this item there
Is not much liability Of error. In the years
the consumption OF seed officially reported
4Sl477935 bushes and what may be termed
n ma ximum allowance for errors as 10 acreage
would only affect consumption FOR seed 10 the ex-
tent of about seven million bushels yearly.
way or the other. Thus we have 1.545.72s,OO9
bushels accounted for. and stocks held July !.
1891 appear to have been at least 90 900 900 bush
els greater than July l. 1882 the point Of greatest
exhaustion for a quarter Of a century. But these
figures deducted from official returns OF the nine
crops leave 2.44S. G.52l bushels for consumption
as food.
1t has become evident within the last three
years. when crop estimates have departed 100.
900. 600 bushels or more from the truth in single
year. that the earlier estimates may also have
been to some extent unreliable. But II must be
said that year after year those estimates COM
pared quite closely with actual movements after
ward ascertained. and with the separately pre-
pared estimates each year Of wheat in farmersI
hands May |. AS to all these years there Is more
evidence in favor OF the official estimates than
against them. and 1t is philosophical to accept
the calculations which appear to accord most
nearly with such facts as are known. The mean
population for each Of the nine years being reck-
oned according to the statement OF the Census
Bureau. the consumption OF wheat for food APP
pears to have been trin: less than 4.65 bushels
per capita yearly. Nc better evidence it Is safe
to say. will be accumulated by any method or
ganization within the present power Of the De-
partment as to the years orior to 1892
Since that time 1t is the naked truth that there
exists reliable evidence to the size OF the
yield in either year. The f. W facts that can be
definitely fixed indicate distribution as follows
