TO CHANGE THE DATE OF THE CROP KEPOKJ Senate Passes Bill for Later Aereair* Figures?To be Issued Early in July. Washington, May 17?The bill introduced in the house by Representative Lever, of South Carolina, and passed by that body February 5, 1912, changing the date of the issuance of , cotton acreage reports by the department of agriculture to the first Monday in July of each year, was passed m the senate today. The senate bill was introduced and championed by Senator Smith, of South Carolina, member of the committee on agriculture and forestry. There was no opposition to the measure, which provided, first, that the secretary of n /v?%C Vv /\. i _ , ? ?. ^ XT. _ <tgi iuuitui e uucticu i.u Cciust; me bureau of statistics of the deparment of agriculure to ijsue a report on or about the first Monday in July of ea<*h. year, showing by States and in total the number of acres o? cotton then in cultivation' in the United States; second, that the secretary of agriculture ehall cause the bureau of statistics of the department of agri culture to issue each year immediately following the publication of ginning report of census bureau, December 1, an estimate of total production of cotton, in the United States for the current crop year. Discussing his bill tonight, Senator Smith said it would accomplish two important results?namely, the simplification of the preparation and is suance of the cotton acreage reports and establish accuracy of information. This last feature seemd to be uppermost in Senator Smith's mind. He explained that every year the cotton planters find it necessary to abandon approximately 1,500,000 acres of cotton acreage because of inability to cultivate it at the right time or for other reasons of eaual force. The Mnv i and June reports, he said, did not take hw in to account the million and a half of abandoned cotton acreage because * the department of agriculture compiled its cotton acreage data before the abandonment had taken place. <j By postponing the issuance of the j reports to July, the actual number of | acres in cultivation could be accurately ascertained, v j IOWA INSTRUCTS FOR CLARK. i Delegation of Twenty-six Bound l?y \ Unit Rule?Comes After Hard j n-ixi ~ nanif. | i ? i Burlington, Iowa, May 16.?The i * Iowa State Democratic convention in- S structed the 26 delegates to the na- I tional convention to vote for Champ | Clark under the unit rule.
