?^ARGOAN WAS THERt.
In the reports of the proceedings of
the fifty-third annual convention of the
American Association for the Advance
ment of Science which convened at the
high school building, St. Louis, Mo.,
last Monday, it is noticed that amopg
those in attendance wasv R. A.
Wetzel,
head of the science department of the
Fargo High School.
An important work of this meeting
of the association will be the establish
ment of a section for plant and animal
breeders. This auxiliary was suggested
three years ago by the American agri
cultural colleges and experimental sta
tions, but not until this year did the
plans for perfecting an organization
lake definite form.
About 100 men interested in the new
section are in attendance. The organ
ization committee comprises W.
llays, St. Anthony Park, Minn. L. If.
Bailey, Ithaca, N. Y. H. J. Webber,
Washington, D. Thomas F. Hunt,

Among the gentlemen interested in
this new section are Dr. David G. Fair

of agriculture, Dr. Cyril G. Hopkins
of the University of Illinois, Dr.
Charles D. Woods of the University of
Maine. Prof. Andrew Boss of the Uni

To The Forum To r^d the^twiiii

West, one would1 almost Cdme to the
conclusion that there wfed conspiracy
in tlte ibu&a'u of statistics of the. de
partment, of agriculture to bring dis
credit upon what is called the Jones
crop estimate of Minnesota and the
Dakota's.''
In" The Journal of Dec. 29 the final
government figures on the wheat crop
of thesfc three stfttes are given as fol
lows:
Minnesota, 70,652,597

fo
have normal- growing
conditions two. different years and yet
Get a greater yield one year than in
the other. The trade knows the same
thing to be true the newspaper man
'-fs: 'supposed to' know'Everything so it
looks like ,a^'-wilful misrepresentation of
facts in a great many instances. li
there is such a place as "between thd
devil and the deep sea" the bureau of
statistics must be located there. Boards
of trade and chambers of commerce
.wait, breathlessly, on- the tenth of each
month for the report of the.bureau. If
it agrees with the trade, "we knew it,"
if ndt.'then it is "cussed and discussed'*
ltrom the ground up and the trade takes
up Jones, Snow, Thornton, or some
one else according to whether or not
that particular "trade" is a bull or a
bear.
About tbe only difference between
the, government report and Mr. Jones
is in .the, figures on acreage. For years
Mr. Jones.' figures were much larger
than the bureau's. Just now he has
gone to .the other extreme. The cen
sus figures showed Mr. Jones much
more toa high than the government
was. top low.
Just now the "trade" is lambasting
the bureau because it reported 500,000
less bales of% cotton than the trade
thought there was. Cotton went up in
•priq^.and the fellow who was sold
short "immediately put up a "holier''
and is going to have the bureau aboU
ished." The census showed the bifreau
to be off in estimates of cotton that
year about 11,000 bales. The trade was
divided as it usually is' according to
whether it is a bull or bear.
The farmers of the United States
will make the greatest mistake of their
lives rf they allow the bureau of statis
tics of the department of agriculture
to be abolished. The trade collects
statistics of crops to be sure, but' let
110 official figures be given out and it
can easily be seen where a selfish trade
vvOjuld land the crops.
Ci
47,252,994
Total 173,146,171
Then follows the statement "these
^figures) indicate a heavy reduction
inder original government estimates
nd a corresponding nearer approach
fhe Jones estimate made last August
just before harvest."
In the first place the government has
never made but one estimate 011 the
crop and not "estimates" as The Jour:
nal states. The report on Oct. jio wa$
only a preliminary qrie on the average
yield per acre.
For Minnesota it 'Was 13.1 North
Dakota 13.3, and South Dakota••14.3
bushels per acres Taking the govern
menf feport -op acreage and we get
the crop as follows:.
Minnesota 70,652,597
orth Dakota
57,850,371
48,622,646
177,125.614
From this we see the "heavy reduc
tion under original government esti
mates" amounted to only 4,000,000
bushels.
It) July, August and September the
'governrhent does not give ah estimate
but simply reports the condition on
the basis of a normal crop being 100.
The trade then figures this report into
bushels and the newspapers make the
statement that the government report
on wheat in Minnesota and the Da
kotas is so. many million bushels. The
(government report, is* nothing, of the
kind, tf a normal crop was the .same*
year aft'er year, such statements would
not be so misleading. Every farmer
