Crop Reporting
Agency Held in
Highest Regard
. By' OVID A. MARTIN
Associated Press Farm Reporter
WASHINGTON III w One agen
cy e( the government doss things
that often .plague and confound
the politicians, but seldom draws
any criticism. lV. !
The agency fa this extraordi
nary position Is the Apiculture
Department's Crop Reporting
Board. '
It issues scores ef reports an
nually - on production of various
farm commodities and on farm
prices. Many ef these reports af
fect government fleasions ana
political strategy.
Yet the board It held fa such
high regard tfiat its findings are
accepted without question.
A typical example ef this was
ft reaction to its last regular
monthly report ea farm prices, Is
sued March .
This. cams in the midst of
battle between the Elsenhower
administration' and the Dsnwerat
controUed Congress ever a bill to
freeze farm price supports at not
less than 1957 levels.
FaveraUe Beset -
The bill was on the President's
desk when the Crop Reporting
Board issued ss farm price re
port for March. These reports are
issued en the last Friday or the
last working day of the month.
This particular report turned
out to be one of the most favor
able, from the administration
standpoint, ever Issued by the
board. It showed that farm prices
increased I per cent between mid-
February ana mid-Marco. This
was the sharpest monthly advance
since February 181. It put prices
11 per cent above a year earlier.
Naturally, the report , pleased
administration leaders. It provid
ed a much more favorable back
ground for the subsequent presi
dential veto, . -
Ne totfetans '
But not a single word of criti
cism of the board's report came
from the bill's sponsors, even
though the board is in an agency
administered by their chief foe,
Secretary ef Agriculture Benson.
As 'if. to demonstrate that it
spares no toes, the board two
weeks Jater issued a crop report
that forecast a new surplus-producing
winter wheat crop a
crop that would cause new head
aches for Benson and the admin
istration. It is easy to understand why the
board is held in high regard and
its reports are accepted as works
of Integrity. It is manned by ca
reer civil service employes, both
professional, and clerical. Most of
the professional employes are
trained in the science of statistics.
They regard their work with the
pride ef ether professional people.
Hatf-Mmiea Telsateers
The board gets its' basic infor
mation from more than half a
million fanners who serve as vol'
untary crop reporters.
Sterling R. Newell, chairman
with more man N years serv
ice, said . there is a recogni
tion among all interested persons,
groups and organizations in
cluding secretaries ef. agriculture
that they should maintain - a
hands-off policy toward the board.
"In an my experience, I have
never known of a secretary or of
anyone else ever attempting to in
fluence the board in its findings,"
be said with a vote of pride.
"I Imagine,? he added, "that If
any attempts, had been made,
those making them would have
been tossed out ea their ears,
or there would have been, some
resignations." ' -f ' : - '
