Accuracy of Estimates
Proof of Their Value

An index to the accuracy of the
estimates made by the Bureau of
Crop Estimates, United States De-
partment of Agriculture, is shown
by a comparison of the estimates
of cotton yields made by the bureau
in December with the annual report
Of bales ginned issued by the Bu-
reau of the Census the following
March.
The deviation of the estimates
from the census during the period
of twenty years. 1900 to 1919, was
2.5 per cent and the average un-
derestimate for the twenty years
~ per cent. In 1915 and 1916 it
was less than one-half of 1 per cent
and for the last three years it was
about per cent under the final
census report.
These later underestimates appear
to have been due partly to the prac-
tice which developed during the war
of prolonging the picking season
and gathering unopened bolls after
the close of the picking season,
called "bollies" and snaps" which
was encouraged by the relatively
high price for both lint and seed
This new factor appears not to have
been taken into account by the >eot-
ton reporters.

The market opened easier at a de-
cline of 12 to 30 points. The fea-

support today. Short covering
brought about slight rally just
before the close but the finish
showed losses of g, to A.. cents
The buying power was poor and
many who bought yesterday were
on the selling side today. The ,N-
port business was reported small
and another bit Of news helpful to
the bears was the report that the
British commission was not buying
and did not want any offers before
February 20.
Everybody seemed to be against
the corn price. was the way one
trader accounted for the easier
trend Of prices in this market
which caused a decline OF l cent for
the day. The buying power was
greatly reduced because OF the
elimination OF much Of the short
interest yesterday. Hedging was in
evidence as well as selling by locals
