BRITAIN LOST

RUN INDUSTRY
Hcs.ld Washington Burean

WASHINGTON, Aug. s.-over In
England. the controller and auditor
general has been checking up on the
costs to the nation incurred In gov
ernment adventures in business and
trade during the war. As reported by
the consulate general at London to
the bureau of foreign and domestic
commerce, an official blue book has
been issued presenting some OF the
results. Precisely as in the United.
States. the statistics show that the
government In business failei dis
tressfully.
A review Of some OF the important
findings in the blue book which does
not purport to be complete. indicates
a loss on only few Of the opera
tions aggregating more than SSi5.-
5s1.6os, but there are profits shown
In other lines.
Profit In Liquor Traffic
Fer example. the liquor traffic In
Great Britain was under government
al control and shows a profit to the
government OF $3.37I.142. In other
words. the government may he sue
cessful as a barkeeper but not a.
food merchant.
The government insurance business
also showed fat profits. On marine
insurance. the premiums paid by the
insured exceeded the losses and the
costs OF operations by 340.s76.lso.
The government also insured proper
~ owners and individuals
against losses by bombardmen; from
the air or sea and In this class of
business It netted a profit OF $3a.-
lS7.166.
But the figures presented for the
food ministry are lamentable The
operations OF the wheat commission
alone produced loss OF s377.3iS.-

Cotton Crop Estimate
Put at 8.34O.OOO Bales

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.--In an
nouncing its final estimate of cotton
production for this year as S.34O000
bales, which is 100000 bales more
than given in the preliminary estimate
IN October, the Department Of Agri-
culture placed the blame for the er-
roreous estimates earlier in the sea
sen on persistent and widespread
propaganda at planting time" as to
acreage and lack of travel funds which
prevented statisticians of the govern
ment from personally inspecting and
checking reports.
The average weight running bale
was estimated at 1878 pounds. The
price paid December was 1872 cents a
pound.
In statement issued with the esti-
mate the Department of Agriculture
The December cotton report. fore
casting total crop Of 8,34O 900 bales
is much in excess OF earlier estimates
during the growing season 1t may be
well, therefore, to explain the prin-
clpal factors which account for the
difference between the carly promise
and the last estimate.
"Acreage-(D Persistent and wide
spread propaganda at planting time
for reduction in cotton acreage Of
from 33 to 80 per cent, as compared
With 1920 (2) Propaganda supported
by large carryover from previous sea-
son. low prices below cost of produc-
tion in 1920, reduced foreign consump-
tion and demand with great financial
loss to growers in 1920 and lack of
credit at planting time. (3) Acreage
reduction reported at planting time by
growers affected by propaganda (4)
Lack of travel funds prevented sta.is-
ticians of the bureau from personally
inspecting and checking acreage in
their states in 1919, 1920 and irst half
OF 1921. (5) Crop reporting board
forced to accent growers report of
acreage reductions, which were biased
by propaganda and generally believed

been able to travel and their reuorts
indicate that the growers reports on
