Allied experts think the U. s.
must build 10000 airplane en-
gines before April /. 1918, and
5000 by December. 1918, to win
air mastery. With the best Eu-

this is a monumental growth

planes In little over 90 months.
Making one machine has been
the work of months. One u. 3.
plant producing 20 to 30 finished
planes a week employs 1000 men,
and each machine is the hand-to-
hand product of $50 men, repre-
senting a score of different trades.
How, with such a start, are we
to build 10000, perhaps $4,000
airplanes to win the war?

COTTON C|NNED
REPORT OF FEDERAL BUREAU
COVERS 954 GINS, WHILE STATE
REPORT COVERS ONLY 567
GINS.

Washington Jan l5.-The attention |
of Hon. Sam L. Rogers, director of
the census, was called to a statement
given wide publicity in the Oklahoma
press, showing a discrepancy of 247
S19 bales in the reports OF cotton
ginned in Oklahoma to November II.
1916, as published by the state board
of agriculture and by the census bu
reau. The statement, issued by f.
NJ. Gault, president Of the Oklahoma
state board of agriculture, charges
that there was "a large degree Of
venality or intense ignorance asso-
ciated with the crop reporting Of the
government and that he had been
advised from source which he re-
garded as authoritative that padding
of the reports sent to Washington by
crop correspondents is resorted to.
Mr. Rogers states that the figures
compiled by the Oklahoma state board
of agriculture are evidently incom-
plete. They represent the quantity OF
cotton ginned by only 567 gins, while
those compiled by the bureau OF the
census cover the entire quantity OF
cotton ginned in the state by the 95d
ginneries which were operated prior
, to November II. Signed reports, civ
ing the number of bales of cottoT
/. ginned by each, were received by thu
bureau of the census from each o
, these ginneries. These reports were
3 secured by special agents who arr
8 sworn employees of the federal govern
ment and who are employed eXpressl.
: for this purpose. The agents, who ar
q legal residents of their respective dis
tricts, are held to strict accounts
bility for the canvass of each count
for which they are appointed and thei
work is carefully checked and exam
ined.
S The collection of these ginning n
u ports by the census office has been
II successful operation since 1902. 1t
e evident that the incomplete statistic
:. compiled by the state office shoul
y not be compared with the comple'
q data collected BY the federal burea
since such a comparison is misleadir
% and tends to dscredit the work of bot
y offices. Every safeguard is throw
al around this inquiry and Mr.. Rogers
Is perfectly willing, and in fact anxiou
to investigate any appearance of IL
proper methods in the collection al
compilation of the data. He believe
y however, that a comparison OF u
character made by Mr.. Gault is e
tirely unwarranted and is no indie
ton whatever of error IN the Gems
statistics.
