Mr.. Tillman opposed the amendment
vigorously. He held that statistics OF

many instances. BY obtaining the statis-
tics from the ginners, he contended. ii
would be practically possible to know by
Christmas each year just what the cotton
production for the year was. He urged
that either this provision be left in the
bill or that a sufficient sum be given
tc the Secretary Of Agriculture to enable
Kim to take the statistics of cotton pro-
udction
Mr.. Alison replied that the Secretary
OF Agriculture now collected cotton sta
tistics from the ginners and from every
possible collateral source and he present
ed "a letter from the Secretary to that
effect.
Mr.. Berry appealed to Mr. Allison to
withdraw the amendment. He said it was

mainder of the country that the small
expense involved ought not to be permit

Mr. Quarles urged that no change in
the measure be made as 1t had been dem
onstrated by experience that the statis-
ties collected by the Census Office from
the ginners were absolutely accurate.
Finally Mr.. Tillnan offered an amend
ment in thc nature of substitute for
Mr. Allison's amendment providing that
the Census Director should issue monthly
bulletins on the cotton production as re-
ported by the ginners beginning on 0cto-
Der each year and extending to and
