CROP REPORTS. 



lo the Illinois State Board of Agriculture. 



Gentlemen: — Four regular crop reports have been issued during the past 

 year. While they have been as accurate as it was possible to make them un- 

 der the circumstances, your committee is by no means satisfied with the re- 

 sult. 



Your secretary has taken up this matter in his report, so it is unnecessary 

 for us to say more than that we thoroughly agree with his view that some 

 action should be taken to insure their greater accuracy. 



Respectfully submitted, 



C. M. Simmons, 



Chairman Museum Committee.
