this letter of Mr.. North and feel that it
would be nothing short of a calamity il
the ginners should at any time fail to
furnish prompt and accurate reports to
the census bureau. To fail to report to
the census bureau will play into the
hands of the cotton gambler, and will
serve to promptly re-establish alleged sta
tistical agents, who are now, thanks to
the bureau of statistics of the department
of agriculture, and the census bureau,
thoroughly discredited. If during next
year. as a result of decreased acreage
and imperfect weather conditions, there
should be a short crop, which is not inn
probable, then the ginners' reports issued
by the census bureau would again be in
high favor by the cotton growers. What
is wanted and what is really always to
the interest of the cotton grower is a
prompt knowledge of the exact truth.
ut is my purpose to prepare and offer
at this session of congress an amendment
to the census act providing for the col
lection and publication of accurate(
statistics of the number of bales of cotr-
ton consumed each year. and the SUR
plus of cotton held in the hands of the
grower, and the number of bales ex-
ported. This is the necessary and only
safe course for the cotton growers. If
the manufacturers of cotton throughout
the world are given knowledge of the
number of bales grown, they use it to
their own interests l think he agrees
with me as to the important and neces-
sity of this amendment and has agreed
to lend me a helping hand in securing its
adoption
