REPORT ON COTTON.
A NEW FEATURE.
Fo Secure Quickly Accurate Statistics
of The Cottoo Crop.
The United States Census Office will
publish He turns at Frequent Intervals
During the Ginning Season, and in
Time to be of Immense Value to the
Producers.
Mr. Cornelius W. Troy, of
Tupelo, has been appointed a local
special agent of the Census Office
to collect cotton-ginning statistics
for this county, and we join the I
Government in urging the ginners
to give Mr. Troy their hearty sup
port and cooperation, thus enabl
ing him to make prompt and
accurate returns. We would im
press upon the ginners the fact
that this agent is a swora officer
of the Government, and that their
reports, are forwarded as given
to him directly to the Census
Office, at Washington, without
passing through the hands of any
middlemen. The information giv
en is held as strictly confidential,
and the operations of individual
ginners are not divulged. Upon
the joint cooperation of the cotton
growers, ginners. and local agents
must depend the success of the
am I ^ n 1 n (Inn • n/«n i
V/VUUUtJ V/lilV/V A U IAA1U
ry, and its ability to render this
great service to the Southern
people and to all interested in the
cotton stsple.
The Census Office has demon
strated in three annual reports,
the fact that the ginners are the
only reliable source of informa
tion as to the volume of the aunual
cottou crop. This is very compli
mentary to the giuners, who, no
doubt, will feel a pride in sustain
ing the reputation earned.
In recognition of this interest
shown by the ginner, and of a
general demand for more frequent
reports through this source, Con
gress, in the act creating a perma
nent Census Office, provided for
.the collection and publication ol
these statistics at intervals daring
the ginning season. For the crop
of 1902 the office will tissue three
reports: the first two will covei
the quantity of cotton ginned up
to and including October 18 anc
December 13, respectively; anc
the final report will cover the
total , quantity ginned from the
growth of 1902. •
Realizing that the collection o
the data for these reports is mad
at a season when the ginner’;
time is greatly taxed, and appreci
ating the necessity for prompt re
turns, the Census Office has locat
ed, in each county containing tei
or more ginneries, an'agent, wh<
will visit each ginnery in th
county and secure a report of th
quantity of cotton ginned up to
certain dates. Iu undertaking the
frequent aud hurried reports now
sought, it is ot vital importance
that the returns be made with abso
lute uniformity, and that all be
received at Washington at one
time. This result could not be ex
pected from individual requests
made by mail of 30,000 ginners,
at a time when they are engross
ed in their ginning work. Fur
thermore, the Census Office must
be kept advised of all dhanges in
the management and operation of
these establishments, and secure
returns from all new and revived
plauts. To accomplish such re
sults, it becomes necessary for
the office to have local representa
tives who shall be charged with
the duty of keeping in close touch
with the giuning industry in each
county, aud of promptly report
ing the quantity of cotton ginned.
The statistics for the October
report will be collected during the
week beginning with Monday,
October 20, and ginners should
keep such records as will enable
them to furnish promptly the re-1
puired information. These re
turns will be tabulated, and the
result published within one week
from their receipt at Washington.
Cotton statistics collected
through the commercial system,
however accurately complied, fall
short of the demand of both pro
ducer and manufacturer—first,
in that as they cover the quantity
of cotton marked between Septem
lion 1 rtf A li rt iTrtil it fl iwl A nniiiit 91
of the following, they are not
statistics of a crop growu in any
one year; and second, in the liabili
ty to error involved in statistics
so complied. Nothing short of
official reports, made sufficiently
early to form a basis of prices,
will entirely satisfy the cotton
grower or manufacturer. It is
gratifying to know that the South
has the assistance and cooperation
of the Government in briuging
about the result they desire—au
undertaking the success of which
now depends upon the cotton
growers and ginners themselves.
