CROp REPORT SCANDALS.
II Is Now Charged That Reports on To-
baccO Have Been JuSgled.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE principal de-
velopment to-day in the investigation OF
the crop report scandals in the Department
of Agriculture was in the broadening OF
the inquiry relative to the statistics on
tobacco.
The various tobacco associations. mainly
those which operate independent Of the
'so-called trust, are now taking an active
part in the campaign against the credibility
of the reports issued by the Division OF
Statistics It is alleged that the reports
have been juggled in the same manner as
those on cotton and that in some instances
they have been manipulated in the interests
OF certain concerns.
Secretary Wilson has begun an inquiry
into the subject. Pending the investiga-
ton the publication Of the tobacco statls-
tics Of the several districts viii be with
held, although the regular monthly figures
by States will be made public Monday.
1t was said at the Department to-day that
special agents have been sent to two or three
tobacco growing States in the South to
verify or correct the official figures. This
work will he concluded by August /.
. The disclosures in the Division OF Stats
tics have been accompanied by discussion
that the Government might discontinue
the publication Of Drop reports. Speak

ple should at once decide that the Govern
inept should go out Of the crop reporting
business. But a second thought on the
subject should be sufficient to reveal the
error, II the Government cotton crop re-
port should be discontinued the producers

statistics. Surely honest men can be found
to do the work and a system devised which
would keep temptation out Of the way Of

rotary of Agriculture Wilson. The matter
was discussed at a conference held tonight
between Richard Cheatham, secretary of
the Southern Cotton Growers Association,
and Col. Henry G.. Hester, secretary Of the
New Orleans Cotton Exchange.
Mr. Hester arrived here early to-day.
and discussed with Secretary Wilson the
advisabiiity of throwing out the report
made on the Sd inst, which reflected con-
dition Of II per cent, which was then de-
clared to lie conservative. The statement
