OS ATIRES, December 18.— Tnformation as to the extent of the damage to the wheat crop in the rovinces of Cordoba and Santa Fe ‘will probably be placed before the Chamber of Deputies by the govern- ment, the chamber yvesterday having approved a motion requesting such nformation. President de Alvear, in a statement to the newspaper La Critica, after blication of the charges made by rge E. Saunders, vice president of the Armour Grain Co. of Chicago, dsclared: “The government maintains, and will maintain, the veracity of ita forecast respecting the total vield of this year's cereal crops.” The chief exc e is"quoted as mying that the forecast was drawn up by officials who deserve complete falth, because of their competency and honorable c¥ who have no other strict wrh founded r &peculator. bullishly. sentati will be Senor nobody ythey were that could not WILL Armour Firm To Take Up Matter of Argentine Reports.

C, any instructions in the matter from his government, he declared: : “It is quite possible that the re- Dorts may be wrong, especlally under the extreme fluctuations of weather conditions in the Argentine wheat belt during the past six weeks, but it 13 not possible that the figures have been subject to manipulation. System Reorganized. “Our crop reporting system has been functioning many years and was recently reorganized along the lines followed by the United States Department of Agriculture, but un- der recent weather conditions there is possibility that its reports were in- exact. But no one can reflect on the sincerity of the reports of the department of agriculture of my gov- ernment.” The crop reporting bureaus of the American Departments of Commerce and Agriculture have had no reports of their own from Argentina, officials sald yesterday, emphasizing that the source and authority of all informa- tion on crop conditions and prospects there which have been given out by United States Government agencies had always been shown. The first Argentine government estimate of 235,000,000 bushels was received and made public November 15, the bureau officials recalled, and about two weeks ago, provincial re- ports transmitted by United State representatives showing los through rust and drought, red the crop estimate to about 200,910,000 bushels, were given out by Govern- ment bureaus after the grain trade had recelved and circulated them The report of December 15, showing the second official Argentine esti- mate of 214,000,000 bushels, vas re- ceived here vesterday after the new: had been published in the press and S Umbrellas Featuring a SPE- CIAL Silk Umbrella | with stub handle. | -Special at— 328 / Brushes New Military Brushes— attractive leatherette | had been on the tickers for some hours. ‘W. F. Callender, chief of the Crop Reporting Board, sald he knew noth- ing personally of the accuracy of the Argentine government crop reports, but that he had received a letter to- day from a former member of the Bu- reau of Agricultural Economics, now in Buenos Alres in the interest of a Chicago grain firm, who expressed ad- mirator for the system of crop re- porting used in that country. Local experts on grains, meanwhile, called attention that Broomhal¥s Corn Trade News of Liverpool had been extremely cautious regarding its pub- lication of Argentine estimates. In the issue of November 17 Broomhall's estimate was 208,000,000 bushels, a fig: ure widely at variance with the Ar- gentine official estimate of approx- imately the same date, 235,000,000 bushels. In the two succeeding fs- sues, Noyember 24 and December 1 (the 'latest issues to reach Washing- ton), Broomhall's made no estimate of the Argentine wheat crop, an omis- slon said to be almost unprecedented on the part of this journal in the midst of a harvest season.
