GATHERING OF CROP DATA


An outline Of the organization de-
veioped In the department Of agricul-
ture through more than half century
Of experience In crop estimating. indi-
eating the care and thoroughness with
which government crop reports are
prepared. Is given In the annual re-
port Of the secretary Of agriculture.
For collecting original data the bu-
reau of crop estimates has two main
sources Of information-volu re-
porters and salaried field agents. The
voluntary force comprises 33,743 town
ship reporters. one for each agricul-
tural township; 1852 county reporters.
who report monthly or oftener on
countrywide conditions, basing their
estimates on personal observation. In
quiry and written reports Of aids, Of
whom there are about $500: 10 special
lists of co-operators. aggregating 49,
900 names, who report on particular
products, such as live stock. cotton,
wool, rice. tobacco, potatoes, apples,
peanuts, beans and the like; and 90
100 field aids. including the best in
formed men In each state, who report
directly to the salaried field agents Of
the bureau. The total voluntary staff,
therefore, numbers approximately 200
600, an average Of about CO for each
county and for each township. The
reporters. as a rule, are farmers. They
serve without compensation, and are
selected and retained on the lists be-
cause Of their knowledge OF local con-
ditions, their public spirit, and their
Interest in the work. All except coun-
ty and field aids report directly to the
bureau. and each class of reports is
tabulated and averaged separately for
each group and state.

EMBARGO IS ORDERED
ON REFRIGERATOR, CARS

Drastic action was taken today by
Director General Hines to compel the
prompt release Of refrigerator cars.
After receiving numerous complaints
of delay in the unloading of such
cars, presumably by jobbers who pre-
ferred paying demurrage to losing a
possible advance in the market price
of the goods. Mr.. Hines ordered re-
gional directors to place embargoes
against all consignees who fail to re-
lease promptly such equipment.
The situation in the west and thu
beginning Of the Florida crop move
ment was said to render all reasona

Judge of whether it had discharged its

it might wish to withdraw, but must
submit the question to arbitration. In

tended that under article XIII it is
expressly stated the Interpretation of

which might constitute breach of
international obligation is generally

of any nation to arbitrate would mean
