REPORT TOO LARGE.
President Taylor of the Nation
al dinners’ Association says the
government’s report of the amount,
of cotton ginned to January l.V
was erroneous, and has cost the
I cotton growers of the South ten
million dollars.
The discrepancy in the census,
reports, lie says, was caused by
the way the instructions were giv
en to the government agents, ask
ing them to get from the ginners
tin* amount of cotton ginned to
date and the amount they expect
to gin. T hese agents started on
the rounds the Pith of January,
and some of them did not finish,
securing their data until seven
days later.
The ginners, believing that the
amount of cotton already ginned,
and that wnich was yet to be
ginned, was to be added together
for a total report, were not careful
to give the amount ginned to Jan
uary 15, but in many instances,
gave the agents the number of
bales ginned to date when they
were approached, say on the 17th
or the *2Jd day of the month. The
census report, including all of
this cotton, purported to include
only that ginned up to the even
ing of January 15, and was con
sequently very much too large.
