DISCREPANCY IN QUANITY OF
COTTON GINNED IN OKLAHO-
MA, AS COMPLIED BY-
STATE AND FEDERAL
BUREAUS.
I 0
The attention of Hon. Sam. L. Rog-
ers, Director of the Census, was cal-
led to a statement given wide publi-
city in the Oklahoma press, showing
a discrepancy of 247,819 bales in the
reports of cotton ginned in Oklaho-
ma to November 14, 1911, as publish
ed by the State Board of Agriculture
. and by the Census Bureau. The stat
I menit, issued by Mr. F. M. Oault, pre*.,
; Ident of the Oklahoma State Board
1 O'' Agriculture, charges that there
| was "a large degree either of venal-
ity or intense ignorance associated
with the crop reporting of the govern
: ment," and thait he had been advised
from a source which he regarded as
i authoraitive that padding of the re-
ports sent to Washington by crop
^ correspondents i« re arted to.
j Mr. Rogers states thait the flgurer,
j complied by the Oklahoma Statt
Hoard of Agriculture are evidently
Incomplete. They tup resent the quan
ity of cotton ginned by only 567 gins
while those complied by the Bureau
of the Census cover the entire quan-
tity of cotton ginned in the atate by
the 954 ginnories which were oper-
a/ted prior'to November 14. Signed
reports, giving the number of bales
of cotton ginned by each, were
eel red by the Bureau of the Census
from each of these ginneries. These
reports were secured by special ag-
ents who aire sworn employes of the
Federal Government and who are
employed oxpressly for this purpose.
The agents, who are legal residents
of their respective districts, are l^slu
to a strict accountability for the can-
vass of each county for which they
: are appointed, and their work Is
carefully checked and examined
The collection of these ginning re-
ports by the Census Office has been
in* successful operation since 1903
, it Is evident that the incomplete sta-
j tistios complied by the state office
a i should not be compared with the
f i complete data collected by the fed-
1 | eral bureau, since such a comparison
