ceived from about three hundred. A compilation of the reports 

 was made and given to the press. The continuation of this sys- 

 tem of reporting, with some modifications, should be of much use 

 to those who are interested in our crops, and I recommend the en- 

 largement of the plan, believing that it should be provided and 

 that correspondence should be kept from year to year, thus adding 

 to the reliability of the estimates desired. 



Dear Sir : 



I desire to compile accurate statistics relative to the yield or prospective yield of 

 staple crops in the State. I therefore particularly desire your co-operation by a 

 prompt and careful filling out of the attached blank. Please return your response to 

 this office in the enclosed envelope WITHIN FIVE DAYS. Let your report apply to 

 the conditions in your own county or town. As soon as these reports are tabulated 

 the crop reports giving conditions found will be published in the various newspapers 

 of the State. 



Respectfully, 



CHARLES S. WILSON, 



Commissioner of Agriculture.
