Washington, Sept. ga number of
special agents of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture, have left Wash
ington for the South and others will
follow tonight and tomorrow for the pur-
pose of investigating certain features of
the cotton movement. Statistician
Hydes estimate of the amount of cotton
actually grown during the year 1901-'O2,
and the report of the census office as to
the amount ginned during the year, both
differ considerably from the amount
marketed. according to commercial re-
ports The Department believes the
difference is made up largely of cotton
carried over from preceding vars, and of
linters and repacks. No expense will be
spared, it is said, in an investigation, as
to what the commercial crop really
amounted to and what it consisted of,
and a full statement of the report will
be made public by the statistician.
