tion received would be tabulated in a 

 district office and distributed immedi- 

 ately to those interested in the same 

 district or in other districts, so that 

 the information would be available im- 

 mediately. Telegraphic reports would 

 be received from the principal markets, 

 so that the latest information would be 

 had from such sources. It is contem- 

 plated that at the end of each montli 

 a complete tabulation of the reports 

 from all districts for the month would 

 be prepared at Washinjjton, and be 

 available for j^fcnoral distribution. 



"Careful studies and investigations 

 would be made through reports from 

 correspondents in various districts as 

 to supplies, requirements and prices. 

 An endeavor would be made to ascer- 

 tain and correct if possible any inequali- 

 ties in prices that may exist in certain 

 commodities, thereby bringing about a 

 more equitable distribution of profits 

 for those commodities. 



"The value of this service depends 

 to a large extent on the cooperation be- 

 tween seedsmen and the department in 

 obtaining accurate and reliable infor- 

 mation. Tlic agencies which cooperate 

 in giving the greatest service would 

 naturally be the ones to be benefited in 

 the greatest measure by the market re- 

 porting service. In reality the depart- 

 ment would be acting as a disinterested 

 clearing house for market information 

 on the commodities covered. The re- 

 ports of individual dealers would, of 

 course, be kept strictly confidential and 

 any information received from them 

 would be used only in a general way in 

 the tabulation of reports of totals for 

 localities or districts, and would never 

 be disclosed as to source or origin."
