CONCLUSION. 



The printed reports of this branch of the Department service, for the 

 year 1885, consist of the Annual Report of the Statistician, eleven serial 

 reports of crop and general statistics, domestic and foreign, and a de- 

 scriptive catalogue of exhibits of charts and diagrams at the JSTew Orleans 

 Exposition. An investigation of the status of irrigation of the dry 

 areas of the Eocky Mountain system has been in progress and is nearly 

 ready for ])ublication. An agricultural survey of this region is a pres- 

 ent necessity ; some work has already been done in this direction, and 

 a more general and systematic effort is in contemplation as facilities 

 are afforded. It has already been shown that the resources of this re- 

 gion are not popularly appreciated, and it is evident that future sur- 

 prises are in reserve for the general public.
