COTTON REPORT
LIMITED IN
FUTURE
Hoover Committee Would Elm
mate Supply and Demand
Balances.
The committee appointed by Score.

The committee appointed by Score
tary of Commerce Hoover to inves-
tigate certain cotton reports issued
by the Census Bureau today recon-
mended that in future statements of
the Census Bureau no attempt be
made to bale nee the figures Of SUP
ply and distribution
The appointment of this commit
tee was brought about by alleged
inaccuracies in report issued Au-
gust is. 1923, showing the amount
of cotton on hand. The leading item
of contention was 579, 504 bales which
appeared in that report under the
head of Ito balance distribution" In
the revised report of the committee
this item was placed at 355. 1858 bales
In making this change the COM
mittee said:
ut is impossible to determine Just
how much of this may be due to the
underestimates of stocks and carry
over at the beginning of the year
or to further duplication in mill and
warehouse stocks.
The committee also recommended
that the Census Bureau issue an
additional report to show the guam
tiIy of cotton ginned prior to Au-
gust ], as provided in bill now
pending in Congress. Another rec
concentration was that in sections
of the country where the entire co..
ton crop has rot been ginned by
March l. another ginning report be
made for April l, to ascertain the
total amount of the crop. The plan
of the Census Bureau to collect sta
tistics of cotton consumption and Of
cotton held in storage at various
points in such manner as to dimin-
ish the danger Of over-statement or
under-statement Of the supply was
commended by the committee.
Reports on cotton statistics are
now issued by twc bureaus in the
Department of Commerce and by
one in the Department of Agricul-
ture, based in part on estimates
and in part on enumeration. The
difference between them sometimes
leads to serious confusion, and the
Hoover committee recommended
that these reports should. If pos
sible. he co-ordinated under a COM
nittee or other harmoniZing agency.
