PRODUCTIVE AREA
Statistician Talks Of Its
 Rapid Expansion

wasbinpton November 14.-The statisti- oian of tha department of agriculture in a renort to the press today says that the fact that the preliminary official estimate of the cotton crop several times has turned out to be an underestimate, and has been due Tn every instance to a failure to keep pace with the rapid expansion of the productive area. When, therefore, the very large crop of last year made it manifest that s4esher year had increased beyond both official and almost all commercial estimates, 1t was determined to institute special and very thorough investigation into the entire crop situation this year.
 The productive area last year Is found to have been 25,0 900 acres and that for the present year to be about 23,5OOO00 acres, with a probability that the final returns will show the present acreage to have been below rather than above the amount stated The investigation discloses one of the smallest yields in many years and in eNi- mating the total crop at a maximum of $500 900 bales substantial and most ample allowance has been made for any tendency to take too pessimistic view of the actual conditions at the present pointing to crop of less than 9,000,000 bales. The report further says:
 "In his capacity as cotton expert to the United States commission the statistician has had the preparation of the United States cotton exhibit for the Paris exposi- ton and his duties in that connection have afforded him additional facilities for as- certaning the actual conditions of the crop in every part of the country. The unim- peachable evidence that has come to him is in every way confirmatory of the most unfavorable reports.

CONSOLIDATION OF
 THE TRUNK LINES Summary of the Plans of the
 Big Combine. WILL CUT DOWN EXPENSES Every Just Means Will be Used to Make Properties More Valuable to the StockhoIders-Board
 of Arbitration
WILL CUT DOWN EXPENSES

The Associated Press dispatch printed in
 The Age-Herald Monday, morning stated
 a movement was on foot to consolidate the
 trunk lines of railroads in the north and
 east, the object being to reduce operating
 expenses. thus making the properties more
 valuable to the stockholders. Something of
 the plans of this mammoth combine may be
 briefly summarized follows:
 The combination will undertake at once
 the re-establishment of rates and their
 maintenance on a permanent basis. It will
 begin at once to cut down expensive depart
 ments of the railroads. Advertisements will
 be withdrawn from all the small country
 newspapers, which receive transportation
 in exchange for advertising and sell 1t, thus
 disturbing rates. It will abolish the so-
 called fast freight lines," which are eX-
 pensive and unremunerative parasites. It
 will do away with the selling agencies and
 the various subsidiary companies owned
 and operated by officials of the parent com
 panies. It will abolish the travelling freight agent as far as possible, as he is univer- sally voted "the root of all evil. VIII Resist Demands It will resist the demands of all big cor porations for rebates, and 1t will, following the lead of the Baltimore and Ohio rail- road cooperate with the interstate com merce commission in the maintenance or law and rates. It will establish both the anthracite and tbituminous coal trades on permanently profitable basis. It will abol- ish differentials at the Atlantic seaports and establish a grain tariff from the west to the seaboard, based on the prevailing market price of the cereal on the Chicago board of trade.
 Labor Questions It will take up and provide for settle | ment of labor questions as far as possible. | The board of arbitration will probably be l composed of these men:
 William K. Vanderbilt, William Rockefel- | Her. George Gould, J, Pierpont Morgan, E | H. Hartman, A. J. Cassatt James J. Hill | and George R. Blanchard. MT. Blanchard | will probably be the only salaried member, and will probably be chairman. His posi- l ton will be similar to that occupied by him | as commissioner of the Joint Traffic asso- l citation.
