cal agents, each receiving compensation at the
rate of from $500 to $500 per year. Each of these
maintains corps of assistants or correspondents,
entirely Independent of the other correspondents
in the state reporting directly to Washington
There are, all told, nearly ten thousand of these
aids to state statistcians and their numerical
strength in the different states ranges from about
twenty in Delaware to than five hundred I'm
Michigan. The state agent does not merely COM
pile and condense the figures received from his
correspondents. He analyses the data that comes
to him and in the light of his knowledge OF
conditions draws general conclusions to the
outlook in his territory.
The organization.
SIDE from the Gordon of state corps there is
dual organization of crop reporters covering
the entire country who report direct to Washing
ton First there is in every agricultural county
a correspondent who has from two to four assist
ant correspondents. These county correspondents
and sub-correspondents number in the entire
country nearly eleven thousand Then. in addi-
tion every township and voting precinct in the
United States in which farming operations of any
kind carried has a correspondent this
force numbering more than thirty thousand. The

culture is in correspondence with more than sixty
thousand public and private ginneries and upward
of fifteen thousand bankers, merchants ami others
in position to form opinions on the cotton yield
Similarly, in keeping tab cereals, there are
vator men, ETC.
All the separate figures and estimates gathered
by this army Of crop reporters find their way to
Washington, where they merged into a gen
eral forecast of tremendous significance. The re-
ports received from the correspondents-the
majority report by mail, though at distant
points telegraph in secret code-are tabuated by
different groups of clerks, working in separate
and ignorant of each others activities.
The Washington herald., 1909-08-08

likewise are stored the reports of the
state statistical agents, which it is stipulated must
be preserved with unbroken scale until the officials
enter upon the work of making up the general re-
port
On the appointed day of the month when
crop report is to be issued the crop reporting
board is locked in a room and under continual
and close surveillance makes up the final totals
and frames the general forecast The crop re-
porting board is composed of FIVE high officials of
the department of agriculture and whereas the
statistican and the assistant statstician are al
ways members, there are frequent changes in the
remainder of the personnel and indeed no official
can predict in advance when he will or will not
serve on this board Locked up with the board
during their deliberations two young men en-
ployes of the department who operate an ingen-
ious style printing press duplicating apparatus
The type Is set as the board announces it's find
ings and when, promptly at noon on this eventful
day, the doors of the board room are unlocked
printed sheets giving in detail the conclusions of
the crop experts are distributed to all persons
who are waiting. Telegraph operators close at
hand, instantly flash the summaries to all parts
or the country and particularly to the stock ex
changes Later in the day $4,000 more copies
OF the report are placed in envelopes which after
being sealed by an ingenious electrical machine
are mailed to people all over the land including
of course the correspondents who contributed the
data for the report and who receive their pay
the form of free copies of this novel and valuable
monthly publication.
