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.
