HOW CROP REPORTS ARE MADE
Some Details of the Comprehensive
System Employed by the Depart
ment Of Agriculture.

While travelling through Georgia
came across one of the township cor
respondents, appointed by the agricul-
tural department of Washington, who
send in monthly reports regarding the
crop conditions in their counties, says
a writer in National Magazine. The
details of the comprehensive system
employed by the department in gath
ering crop information from all over
the country are interesting. There are
10000 township correspondents scat.
tered all over the Union, whose duty
1t is to go carefully over the territory
and submit each month concrete In
formation as to the condition of all
kinds Of crops. In addition to this
branch 5000 county correspondence
send in separate reports from those
of the township men. A state agent
makes further report direct from
his agents, and an organization in di.
rect communication with the depart.
ment comprising II travelling field
agents" go about the country and
make separate reports for groups OF
states. Special cotton correspondents
are also employed to furnish accurate
information concerning the cotton
yield. Five different reports are sent
to Washington each month, by five
different sets of correspondents. This
safeguards the government crop re-
ports for accuracy In local crop re
ports, and keeps the great crop &C
count and cost estimates for the mil
lions of American farmers. These
records are sent to the agricultural de
partment. Mr.. Olmstead of the bureau
of statistics, and Mr.. Murray, his as
sistant and a board go over all the
FIVE reports from five distinct groups
Of correspondents, and from all the
figures a crop report estimate is dis
tributed to 10000 post Offices through
out the county every month.
