The statistics of this bulletin are based primarily upon the data 

 of prices, receipts, shipments, inspections, and other figures of the 

 marketing of agricultural products obtained by the Bureau of Markets 

 in the conduct of its various reporting and regulatory services. 

 Reports of other governmental bureaus have been drawn upon, par- 

 ticularly the Bureau of Crop Estimates, for farm prices and farm 

 crop estimates, and the Bureau of Foreign and Domestic Commerce, 

 for exports and imports. In some instances material has been taken 

 from recognized commercial sources to complete or round out the 

 tables.
