tilizers and seeds. Reports are made for about
so crops, which represent about 95 per cent of
the total agricultural production in the United
States.
1T is when this material reaches the depart
ment of agriculture at Washington that it begins
to acquire tremendous significance. Here the
information is classified and organized with in
credible speed and accuracy. Opinions, conjec-
lures and facts are here sifted compared and
verified until when the final tabulation is made
up the sum total of information collected is as
authentic as is humanity possible.
There is a touch of the romantic in the dis
semination of this news from Washington OBJ
viously it must be given out to all parts of the
country at the same time. Advance information
would serve the interests of speculation. On the
evening before crop report day all telephones to
the department are disconnected. The next
morning all doors are locked and guards see to
it that no enters or leaves the building while
the crop-reporting board is in session. Then at
exactly 2:15 in the afternoon the telegraph
wires into virtually every city and town in the
United States are singing with the message of
crop conditions.
"The tremendous Importance of this work is
little recognized by the average individual 1t is
little known, too, how much patience and in
genuity were required to bring it to its present
state of perfection For most of us it is suffi-
Gent to know that at the last meeting of the
general assembly of the international Institute
of Agriculture at Rome, to which came delegates

that we had developed the most complete and

Reporting Crops

The highly developed organization of the
farming industry usually escapes the notice of
the average city dweler, whose knowledge of
farming consists mainly of appraising the prod
ucts of the farm that appear on his table. He
does not know that the farming industry is as
highly organized as it that of transportation or
commerce.
The department of agriculture is branch Of
our government that is serving the nation in a
most useful manner, contributing to the wealth
of the farmer and the happiness of the men and
women whose homes are in the cities.
The important feature of gathering crop re-
ports from all parts of the country, which is done
by the department, deserves to be better under
stood by all of US. The Detroit News recently
gave the following synopsis:
aside from innumerable trained officials
scattered all over the country, there are 100000
crop reporters located in all parts of the United
States, whose activities are supervised and
checked UP by field agents and trained statisti-
clans.
THE monthly reports gathered in this fash
ion cover acreage, condition, yield, total produc-
ton, stocks on farms, progress on farm work
