Present Methods Revised.

At the Department of Agriculture 1t
was stated that the committee had re
ported favorably upon the methods
employed by the government report
ing system in determining the acreage
under cultivation and the probable
yield. The system was said to be
Thoroughly sound and the bureau
was generally commended. However,
the statisticians, after personally re-
liminary estimates of the condition of
the crop were based, suggested that
there should be additional clerical as
sistance and a lifting Of certain duties
from the shoulders of those who are
charged with making the broader sur
veys.
1t was suggested that the field of.
fees should be strengthened by afford
ing additional help for the ~statisti.
clans, who are responsible for the eeti.
mates as to the yield in their respec.
tive states. 1t was pointed out that
the one clerical assistant did not seem
to provide adequate help in handling
the stream of reports and other in.
formation which flows into the office.
1t was recommended that there
should be at least one experienced
statistician, who might devote his en-
tire time to the supervision of these
crop reports without being required
to undertake any administrative work.
Mr.. Estabrook stated that the COM
mittee expressed the belief that a
more substantial travel allowance
should be afforded to permit the field
statisticians to get first-hand informa.
ton from observing the growing crops.
Financial Deficiency Overcome.
On July 1 an appropriation Of 800.
600 became available for the develop
ment of the live stock reporting sys-
TEN. While this money will be spent
to insure a more dependable estimate
Of live stock, 1t will be of some indi.
rect aid to the crop reporting service.
With these new funds each field
statistician will have two clerical as
sistants instead of one. The same
field statistician will be utilized, how
| ever. Sufficient funds have been pro-
vided to make 1t possible for the field
agents to travel owe the territory In
their states, 1t vas added, so that this
| deficiency, which was assigned as the
principal cause for the 1921 crop
blunder, has been overcome.
1t is planned TO bring n or more
Of the most expert field statisticians
TO Washington to serve in the central
office. The department will insist that
they spend the entire time in Develop
ing the technique, oil the finer points,
of the system. There is to be at least
one research statistician, who will not
be concerned with anything other than
the examination and analysis of the
data.
1t is recognized, the head of the
crop reporting system said, that not
enough has been done to work out
what the effect of weather Is upon
crop yields. A technical statistician
Is to be assigned to the task of cor
relating the effect of this and other
factors upon the results that ulti-
mately obtain. This is a precise study,
according to the official view, and Of
fers perhaps the most interesting pos
sibilities of the various refinements
suggested.
