Keep Commission Condemns System
in Agriculture DEPARTMENT.

in Agriculture Department.
Washington, d. c., Jan. 23.-
Nothing Secretary Wilson's severest
critics have said about the spurious
character of the crop reports issued
by the Department of Agriculture is
so severe as the reflections on his
crop forecasts contained in the re-
port of the Keep commission, made
public to-day The conclusions Of
the commission are summed up in
one paragraph:
Indeed, the wide divergence of
the results obtained by the Bureau
of Statistics from actual results ar
rived at by the census, in the case
not only of live stock, but of all
crops other than cotton, justifies the
conclusion that the methods and re-
suits must be improved materially
or the service should be abandoned"

penses of the Bureau of Statistics
have increased form $20,S00 n 1880
to S196,460 for the present fiscal
