Wa^liington, D. C, March 21, 1012.
Sir: 1 have tlio honor to transmit horo\\'ith manuscript prepared
b}^ Eo3'al T. AfcKenna, of this bureau, Avhicli contains a compilation,
first, of the annual and average production of important agricultural
products in the leading producing countries, with the i)ercentage which
each contributes to the so-called "world" production; second, similar
data respecting exports of certain agricultural products; and, third,
data respecting imports of certain agricultural products.
The compilation is useful for ready reference. Much of the cur-
rent information of crop production and movement is unintelligible
to the average reader, because comparative figures arc not given.
Statistical data are of comparative value; for instance, a statement
of the yield of wheat in Russia this year would have little value to
most })ersons until they learned the average yield to which this
year's yield may be compared, and, also, the relative importance
of Russia as a wheat-producing country.
To supply such data for comparison this manuscript has been
prepared, which I recommend to be pubUshed as Circular No. 31 of
the Bureau of Statistics, entitled "Aiuiual and Average Production of
and International Trade in Important Agricultural Products, by
Countries."
Very respectfully,
Victor II. Olmsted,
Cldef of Bu reau.
Hon. James Wilson,
Secretary of Agriculture.

ANNUAL AND AVERAGE I'RODUCTION OF AND
INTERNATIONAL TRADE IN IMPORTANT
AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS,
BY COUNTRIES.
Annual statistics of production and distribution, to liavo practical
value, must be correlated with comparable statistics. A statement
that a specified country has produced this year 100,000,000 bushels
of wheat has in itself little meaning. The query naturally arises: Is
this production unusually large, indicating a liberal supply, or does
it indicate a short supply, likely to cause a tendency toward liigher
prices? The mere statement of the year's production does not give
sufficient information to answer the queries.
Furthermore, is the country in question an important factor,
either in the production or m the international trade in this product ?
Crop news, especially that which appears in the daily or weekly
press, frecjuently contains bare facts relative to the indicated pro-
duction of a specified country, without comparative data. Traders,
who are constantly engaged in the business, may be able to compre-
hend such information readily, but man}' readers, although interested
in the subject, may not be similarly well informed nor have the
necessary comparative data in hand. For the purpose of having in
convenient form data of the average production of and trade in
certain crops in important countries, the following tables have been
prepared.
Late, and, in most cases, official data have been used in every
instance.
The figures of production in the United States relate only to con-
tinental United States, except that those relating to coffee and
sugar production include Porto Eico and Hawaii.
The expression ''world's total production" of crops, used as in
trade circles, includes only countries for wliich trustworthy data
are available. Official data can be obtamed from most Govern-
ments, but there are a few large countries for wliich the olficial data
are incomplete; and some, such as Cliina and Persia, for which
official data of production are lacking.

8 PRODUCTION AND TRADE IN AGRICULTURAL PRODUCTS.
In the figures of "world" crop production the crops of wheat and
flaxseed harvested in the Southern Hemisphere from November to
February of any year are coupled with those harvested in the
Northern Hemisphere in the succeeding autumn.
Statistics of the exports and imports of products specified in this
circular represent substantially the international trade of the world.
It should not be expected that the totals of the world's exports and
imports in the same year will agree. Among sources of disagreement
are these: (1) Imports received in the year subsequent to year of
export; (2) different periods of time covered in the year of the
various countries; (3) lack of uniformity among different countries
in the classification of goods; (4) different practices and varying
degrees of failure in recording countries of origin and ultimate desti-
nation; (5) different practices of recording reexported goods; (6)
different methods of treating free ports.
The exports given are of domestic produce, with a few exceptions,
and the imports are imports for consumption as far as it is feasible and
consistent so to express the facts. While there are some inevitable
omissions, on the other hand there are some duplications because of
reshipments that do not appear as such in official reports. For the
United Kingdom import figures refer to imports for consumption,
when available, otherwise total imports less exports of "foreign and
colonial merchandise."
The exports and imports of the United States include Alaska, Porto
Rico, and Hawaii.
A revision of the international trade tables is now being made in
the Division of Production and Distribution of the Bureau of Sta-
tistics. This revision seems advisable on account of (1) a change in
the official equivalent of the kilogram recently adopted by the
bureau ; (2) a failure in a few cases to use exactly the same classifi-
cation from year to year for such composite groups as sugar, wool,
and oil cake; (3) new returns received from important countries.
The revised totals for world's exports and imports will therefore
differ slightly in some cases from the totals published in the Year-
books of the department and used in tliis circular. This revision is
being made as rapidly as practicable.
