The Department, moreover, dis courages any such intimacy between them as would cause one class to reveal the nature of their reports to the other. This Is its general policy with respect to all its correspondents and agents in the stattsti- cal field It wishes each mans mind to be unbiased by what another man may have written, and it also wishes to use one as check upon the other all along the line. In- deed, it would be practically impossible for any two to clash willingly, because nobody in the whole force decides what he is going to write till the last moment before his material has to be dispatched to Washington.

Only enough time is allow ed for getting the news to Washington to admit of tabulating and analysing the figures here.

IT the latter course were pursued, there would be dnager that one clerk, or group of clerks, might obtain advance possession of the digested figures as to certain crop. and make use of it for speculative purposes. Even if this were not actually done. the fact that he conditions existed would cause popular suspicion of the Depart ment's good faith.
