Throws Doubt Upon 1t.

In commenting upon the res1ort~ of the
Cotton Growers Association, prom
iLent official of the Department of
Agriculture said:
1t is maliifestiy evident that the re-
port of the Southern Cotton Growers
Association, published over the sigma
turs of Mr.. Cheathanl, is premature in
announcing that Ii is the most accurate
information in regard to the condition
of the crop at the present time that can
be secured. The Department of Agricul-
tur, in its thirty-two years OF experience
In compiling and ascertaining advance
information pertaining TO the condition
of crops, has yet been unable even to
form any idea as TO the output OF the
cotton crop this early in the year. The
best we can do at this time Is to obtain
an accurate average, and 1t viii be at
| least five months before a conservative
estimate can be made as to the output
of the crop.
It was learned today that John Hyde,
chief of the Bureau of Statistics, De-
partmcnt of Agriculture would report
TO Secretary Wilson either this after
noon or Monday morning. Mr.. Hyde was
called back from his vacation In Eu-
rope on account of the charges sub
mitted to the department by Richard
Cheatham, in which * was alleged that
an official or employe of Mr. Hyde's de-
partment had been giving out advanced
information regarding the department 5

Lanston People Pleased.

The Lanston people are greatly
pleased with their success in getting the
contract, and are confident that it can
not be interfered with. They point to
the fact that there are now batteries
of both the Mergenthaler and the
Lanston in the Government Office, and
that the I4anston has secured the big
contract on its merits after trial.
Against this the MergenthaIer people
insist that there has not been a fair
consideration of merits, and that such
consideration would have determined
the matter in their favor They declare
there was 10 competition for the con-
tract at all
