A Serious Matter.

The very large growth of the cities
of the country, as shown by the CEN
sus, is cause for disquietude as well
as congratulation. If this conges-
ton in cities continues without a cor
responding increase in agricultural
products the United States will soon
cease to be an exporting country,
and will have to be competing with
other importing countries for food.
If such should soon come to be the
case, the sooner we take off all tariff
duties on food products the better,
so that matters may adjust them
selves before the actual pinch comes
for enough food to feed all our peo-
pie.
The high protective tariff imposed
on farm products entirely useless
as long as we have surplus that
must be sold abroad, but directly we
begin to import ever so little, the
tariff on cattle, cereals and other
food products would add to the nor
NAL prices of such articles; which
would mean from so to Is per cent
increase in the present high price of
food.

How Government Crop Reports
are Made.

While travelling through Georgia
came across one of the township CORE
opondents. appointed by the Agricultu-
raj Department of Washington who
send in monthly reports regarding the
crop conditions in their counties. The
details of the comprehensive system
employed by the department in gather
ing crop informations from all over
the country are interesting. There
are thirty thousand township CORE
spon1ents scattered all over the union,
whose duty is to go carefully over the
territoryxand submit each month con-
crete information as to the condition
OF all kinds OF crops. In addition to
this branch three thousand county
correspondent" send in seperate re-
pots from those of the township men.
A state agent lakes further report
dire-t from his agents, and an Organi-
zation Tin direct communication with
the department comprising seventeen
travelling 'field agents, Ego about the
country and make separate reports
for groups of states. Special cotton
correspondents are also employed to
furnish accurate information concern
ing the cotton yield. Five different
reports are sent to Washington each
month by five different sets of cOrre-
sponednts. This safeguards the gov
eminent crop reports for accuracy in
local crop reports, and keeps the great
crop account and cost estimates for
the million of American farmers.
These records are sent to the Agricul-
tural Department. Mr. Olmsstead of
the Bureau of Statistics, and Mr.
Muir, his assistant and a BOARD 90 over
all the i've reports from FIVE distinct
groups of correspondents, and from all
the figures crop report estimate is
distributed to seventy thousand post
offices throughout the country every
month. From he Haiv st of 1910, -
