Excerpt from The Commercial Cotton Crop of 1903-4 The exports. Though not so large as in either of the previous three years, were over S.100,000,000 more valuable than ever before. The visible supply of American cotton at the close-of the season was the smallest for many years; The season (1903 - 4) demonstrated the fact that the world's consumption of cotton had overtaken the supply, the close of the season showing an actual deficit in supply amounting to approximately bales. It was also demonstrated that to meet the world's requirements a crop of no less than 11 000 000 bales per annu-m must be produced in the United States. Another notable event of the year, brought about bv the short American crop and the ever increasing demand for cotton, was the incorporation in England of the British Cot-ton Growing Association, with a capital stock of 000, for the purpose of extending the growth and cultivation of cotton in the British colonies, dependen cies, and protectorates. The prospectus of the association makes the following statement: It is an admitted fact that the world's consumption of cotton has overtaken the supply, and the danger of the situation is intensified by the fact that American requirements have enormously increased in recent years, namely, from bales in 1891 to bales in 1902, and will no doubt go on increasing. 'it is estimated that the normal increase in the world's consumption of cotton is bales per annum. It is therefore evident that unless new cotton fields are Opened up in other parts of the world, most of the mills in this country will have permanently to work short time, and may be closed entirely. Even should the present American crop (1904 - 5) prove to be a favorable one, the efforts of the association must in no wav be relaxed, for future years are most doubtful, and with the increase in con sumption it is almost certain that within a comparatively short period there will be another shortage. In 1901 and 1902 many cotton mills in this country were unable to run full time, owing to shortage of cotton. In 1903 most of the Lancashire mills ran short time for a period of four months, and it has been estimated that the spinners, manufacturers, and operatives suffered in that year a direct loss of apart from'the losses consequently entailed upon merchants and others indirectly interested in the welfare Of the cotton trade. In the present year (1904) the majority of the mills have been compelled to run short time for eight months, and it is impossible to estimate the loss to the whole Empire of the serious diminution in the productive and earning power of the most important manufacturing industry of the world.

Excerpt from Forecasting the Yield and the Price of Cotton Without a doubt great values are at stake. If the size of the cotton crop of 1914 is taken as a standard, an error in an official crop report which should lead to an ultimate depression of one cent a pound in the price of cotton lint would cost the farmers or more. A corresponding error leading to a similar rise in price would entail upon manufacturers and consumers a comparably heavy loss. The Department of Agriculture has rendered its reports continuously for some fifty years, and yet, as far as I am aware, no one has either measured the degree of accuracy of the information it supplies con cerning crop conditions and prospects, or attempted to see whether, by different methods, more truth might not be gained from the stores of raw figures that its Bureaus collect. Government Departments seeking appropriations are very likely, out of administrative necessity, to stress their successes and suppress their failures. In the January number of the official Crop Reporter, for 1900, this illustration is given of the value to planters of the Government crop - reporting service.
