Gigantic Task

operated with officials of the depart
ment of agriculture, the treasury de-
partment, and the state extension serv-
ices in the states where seed-grain
loans were made to farmers in the
drought-stricken regions of the north
west and the southwest In the fall of
1918 and spring of 1919.
The bureau compiled innumerable
statements showing the production,
consumption, surplus and deficiency,
exports and imports, and prices of i'm
portant agricultural products for all
the principal countries before the war,
and of production and requirements
during the war, for the information of
administrative officials of the depart
ment of agriculture, of other federal
departments. and various war-emer-
gency organizations. Many of these
statements were for the use of the de-
partment committee on crop produc-
ton and were used as a basis for the
crop-production programs which were
recommended. Other compilations
were made for the confidential use of
the war trade board and for the COM
mittees on agriculture In congress.
Much Information Compiled.
Summaries of weekly reports of the

Information.
AGENTS COVER WHOLE COUNTRY
More Than 100000 Pieces of Mall
Handled by Division of Crop Re-
ports During Past Year-Re-
ports Are Issued Monthly.

During the fiscal year ended June
80, 1919. the bureau of crop esti-
mates of the United States department
of agriculture issued the regular
monthly crop reports, showing esti-
mated acreages planted, growing con-
ditions, yields per acre, and total pro-
duction. farm prices of different crops
for each state and the United States,
estimates of total number of live
stock of different classes on farms and
ranges, their condition, and losses
from diseases and other causes. Com
mercial estimates of the apple and
peach crops were made, and the
weekly truck-crop news service which
had previously been in force, was con-
tinued and extended, according to the
annual report of the chief of the bu-
reau, an extract from which is given
below.
Many special inquiries were made
during the year, including:
Quantity of commercial fertilizers
used per acre of cotton and proper
ton of fields upon which used.
Percentage of various crops to
which commercial fertilizer and ma
nure was applied and quantity used.
Binder Irvine requirements for the
grain crops of 1918 for the use of the
Grain corporation.
Emergency live stock survey, to de-
termine the number on farms July 1

Uses made of wheat crop, for the
United States food administration.
Quantities of various crops fed to
different classes of live stock.

ton of the secretary and chiefs of
bureaus of the department of agricul-
ture, and after the signing of the
armistice the mailing list for these
summaries was extended to include
other government officials and senators
and members of the house Of represen-
tatives. Binonthly foreign crop re-
ports were issued In the spring of 1919
and will be continued.
A vast amount of information was
compiled and furnished In response to
inquiries received by telephone, tele-
graph, letter, or personal call of rep
resentatives of the food administra-
ton, the war trade board, the war in
dustries board, the military intelli-
gence Office of the war department,
the tariff commission, the federal
trade commission, the council of ma.
tional defense, other departments Of
the federal and state governments
congress, and private individuals.
More than 100000 pieces of mail
were handled by the division of crop
reports during the year, as compared
with 100000 by the same division for
the preceding fiscal year, an increase
of 25 per cent. About the same rela-
tive increase was noted in all other
branches of the bureau at Washington
In the state offices of field agents
the work more than doubled in the
fiscal year 1919 as compared with the
preceding year. The issuance by field
agents of monthly state crop reports
bearing their names which are gener-
ally reproduced in all the state papers
has made them widely known through
out their states and has resulted in a
heavy volume of correspondence.

Germany can export some glass
china, potash, cutlery, optical instru.

ments and toys, without importing raw
materials. She needs from America
principally cotton and copper.
French and British chocolate, soap

The only American goods found gen.
orally are prewar stocks.
The French and British occupied
zones are now commercial fronts. Mil.

British commercial travellers and bank
ers every assistance. All of the Amer.
lean commercial men and bankers ]
met in Germany told me they had
fought their way through in spite of
