RECORD MUST BE MADE
OF ALL COTTON GINNED
Government Instructs Agents Throughout Cotton
Belt

Washington, Aug. 1O.-Preparations
for gathering the cotton ginning
statistics for the crop OF 1908 have been
completed by the division OF manu-
features in the census office, and final
instructions have been sent out to the
field agents by Director North.
With the experience gained in last
years work it is the expectation of
the census officials that this years
statistics will be even more accurate
than those of last year, and will ac-
count for practically every bale of
cotton grown in the United States.
Special care has been taken in the in
struetion of field agents as to their
work.
There are in all GIG of those agents.
Almost all of them are men who were
employed on the work last year, and
have consequently had experience. In
addition to the printed intructions sent
out the census Office has had two
special agents in the field during the
summer, visiting the field agents, es-
pecially the new ones, and giving them
personal instructions and advice as
to the best methods of carrying on the
work.
With a view to facilitating the work
of the field agents and also with the
object of securing more accurate sta
tistics the census office contemplates
supplying to each ginner a ginner's
record book. This book will contain
blank forms which will enable the
ginner to record the name of each
customer for whom cotton is ginned,
the number of pounds of seed cotton
ginned for each customer daily, the
number of pounds of lint obtained, the
number of pounds of seed, and the
actual weight of each bale of cotton
Sinned.
BY getting a record of the weight of
seed cotton furnished by each custom
er and the lint and seed obtained it
will be possible to verify the reports
as to the weight of baled cotton.
BY the use of these record books. if
the hearty and intelligent co-opera-
ton of the ginners can be obtained. 1t
will be possible for the census office
to make an almost absolutely accurate
report as to the number OF pounds of
cotton grown in the United States each
