CENSUS OF COTTON GINS.
New Method of Getting Crop statis-
ties VIII BE Tried.

Washington, April 15.-There is proba-
bly, no single fact, the knowledge of which
is more interesting and important to the
Southern people, than the amount of the
cotton crop.
The present methods of ascertaining the
magnitude of the cotton crop are unsat-
isfactory. There is one method of as
certaining the amount of the crop exact
ly, for there is one process, that of GIN
ming to which all cotton for any CONNER
cial or industrial use whatever must be
subjected If one could obtain from all
the cotton gins Of the country reports of
the amount of the staple they have turn
ed out the precise aggregate of the whole
crop would be known.
1t is proposed to apply this process IN
taking the twelfth census, the field work
of which is to begin on the first of June.
An expert special agent has been APP
pointed whose sole duty will be to obtain
returns from all the ginning and balins
establishments in the cotton growing re-
gion No ginnery is too small or insfg-
nifcant to be visited and asked for re-
turn.
