U. 8. D. of A. Bureau of
statistics, as is well known,makes
no attempt to estimate in ad
vance the probable yield of any
agricultural product. After an
approximate forecast of the acre
age the crop-re porting system
is confined during tbe growing
period, to ascertaining how the
condition of the crop ou the first
day of each month compares to
the avnrage full crop. The two
tapoztat* subjects arc therefore
acreage, first ascertainable im
mediately after planting. The
condition of the growth and
vitality of the crops, favorable or
unfavorable influences, second.
The acreage sown is generally
the acreage harvested. As to
acreage, the investigation em

Drooi that point lie will bare bla Bakl

which will be a Uttle mors than 300

to transport this party shoot 100 mltea.
**I have not dotarmloed the somber

"Tbe only man [ knew positively will

sot think of going without him. Ho Is
sow tn New York serving as a valet
but lie will go with me whenever 1 am

who will go with me.
"Dogs only will be used In dragging
the sleds across tbe Ice between Grant
Land and tha pole. Tbcy are better
than men In every respect. They travel
faster ntul are more faithful workers
They require leas food, and tn caso of
dire necessity they can be used as food
for the mots bora of tlie party.

tt la altogether probable the explorer
will buy an ocean going tug tbst baa a
