Pferieclic Estimates on

By GAYLORD P. fcUUWIN
01 The United rmi
WASHINGTON IB-You cSuld
make a killing in the market if
you could just get.advance infor
mation on the Agriculture Depart
ment's periodic crop estimates.
But stop dreagfin (
No secrets afamore cloly and
successfully guarded than the es
timated production of sect specu
lative crops as corn, wheat, cot-
ton. oats, stivbeans. livestock, and
the nation's store of food and I
fiber.
If you want to test He truth of i
this, and are willing to spend,!
some time in mild captivity, just
walk into the Agricultural Esti
mates division while a crop re
port is being prepared.
You 11 find yourself a captive
until the report has been pub
lished. No exceptions are made.
Whoever wanders into the divi
sion at such a moment and that
goes for the Agriculture secretary
himself is required to stay put
once inside the crop reporting
board's working quarters during
preparation of a report.
It s been that way for 50 years,
and in that time there has been
no pre-release leak of an Agri
culture Department production
estimate.
The ultra secrecy surrounding
the crop report stems from the
cotton scandal of 1906. A high
official of what was then called
the Bureau of Statistics, which
prepared crop estimates, used ad
vance knowledge of what govern
ment report would show to specu
late in the cotton futures market,
ARRANGED SIGNALS
He passed on his information to
accomplices by means of signals
involving movement of window
shades. A court trial brought out
that the official's share of profits!
from use of information thus
leaked amounted to more than
$70,000. He was fined $5,000.
Congress ordered the department!
to keep crop reports secret until I
time for their release to everyone.
The department accordingly start
ed what has become known as the
"lockup" preceding crop reports.
There are an average of three
lockups a month. Some months
there are only two, but in Decern-'
ber there are five. All involve
crop reports tlat have speculative'
value.
The release time of reports is

The cotton lockup begins at 7
Ta.m. thf day of the report. Tn
lockup for last Monday's general
crop report beffan at 5 a.m. The
time for other lockups varies,
Here ie how reports like last
Monday's general crop report are
prepared:
The 41 field offices for the 48
states make up their reports and
recommend them to the crop re
porting board.
The recommendations are air
mailed to a locked box in care of
the office of the Secretary of Agri
culture. The box also has two
locks. The secretary's representa
tive has the key to one and the
chairman of the crop reporting
board has the other.
THE LOCKUP
About 20 minutes before the
board s working quarters are
locked up, the board's chairman
and secretary, the secretary's
representative, and one "or more
members of the field force pro
ceed under guard to the box, un
lock it, and bring the unopened
mall to the working quarters,
The quarters, Wing 4 of the
department's south building, is
locked, with guards posted out
side at each end.

The technicians study the state
recommefldjtions, arrive at pro
duction estimates for each state,
an j pass the information along to
the board chairman who deter
mines the final estimate.
The information then goes to
computers and tabulators when
prepare tables which are sten
ciled and mimeographed. The
entire report then is signed 15 to
20 minutes before it is issued, i
The signer must be the secretary,
undersecretary, or one of the
assistant secretaries.
The doors are then unlocked
and theTepwt is given newsmen
standing by open telephones to
their offices. The report there
upon is transmitted throughout
the country, and the lockup is
over.
But not until then, as Arthur
M. Hyde of Missouri found out
several years ago when he was
secretary. He came a bit early to
sign the report. After signing, he
picked up his hat and said he
was leaving. The board chairman
told him he couldn't. Hyde tried
to call his office. The telephone
was dead. He stayed until release
time.
