HYDE REPLIES TO .
COTTON CHARGES.
Denies Indignantly That lie
Made Estimates Lower Than
Reports Warranted.
IS STILL IL ~. LONDON
Expects to Return to America
About October Gives
Out Interview,
(By Associated Press.)

y LONDON, August a.-John Hyde, for
,partment Of Agriculture, who, at pres
ent. is In London, has been under the
care Of q physician for several weeks,
and is still prohibited by his physician
from attending to business. ITO the
Press tonight, he said:
II have just seen for tho first time
tho revised cotton acreage report,
issued by the United States Depart
mcnt OF Agriculture on July Goth. The
crop estimating board reduces tho Of
flcial estimate OF June I'd by more
than 100000 acres, and even goes
so far as to say that l made the esti
mate lower than the reports received
from official reporters employed by
the bureau warranted. TO this state-
ment l give unqualified denial, and
assert that the most trustworthy OF
the various sets of figures OH which
the report OF June I'd was based af-
forded the most ample warrant for my
estimate M
1T Is only by an entire disregard Of !
the reports Of county and township
correspondents that the Departments
acreage Reports Cuil Us pIcVcitcu itoiA
once more becoming the laughing stock
Of the world. When concerned only
with the condition OF tho growing
crop, except under special circum-
stances, tho reports OF county and
township correspondents are notsW with
out value When, however, these cor
respondents report either upon the
acreage or upon the size OF the crop
in bales, their reports arc absolutely
worthless. For instance. the crop q
last year was estimated by township
correspondents at less than 1l,OOo,oo
bales, Failure on the part OF the BOARD
to recognize the widely varying de-
grees OF reliability which character
ized the reports of its different classes
Of correspondents will inevitably de-
stroy the value OF its reports for
general statistical purposes.
Mr.. Hyde said that he gave TINS inter-
view TO the Associated Press against the
earnest protest OF his physician, ana &c,
that he had forwarded an affidavit 20
washington covering his connection VIII. with
the cotton report. lie said that ne ex-
