(It TiCiiwd wlruM ami radio yMlciiiM, lapping the country for official ruurtn of crop situations, form on of the fnrnu'rH great iiMsets, in the opin ion of Arthur M. Hyde, Hecretury of agriculture. A network of IO.f.80 miles of tch'sraph lines Is utlliKed to carry the market news truffle. In addi tion, radio tt'Iegmph tnuismissioii Is u.ned In lieu of wiro lines be tween Washington,' D.

"i'roductUm forecasts have proved so thoroughly practical und useful," Mr. Hydo said, "that no one intelligently Conscious of the fanner's Interests wants thuni dropped. "Crop informal. tin, since it is hound to get out somehow, is best obtained from a competent source which has no object In distorting the, facts. Without government crop ivpurls, the farmer would be compelled to deal with buyers in the dark. Moth the farmer, und the buyer should know the facts." Official crop reporting has been constantly criticized. Farmers are told that early official reports arc always above the final production, and that prices are adversely af fected at marketing time. "Criticism of the government crop reports," M r. J lytlo said, "does not come alone from the farmer, but when It does, it has special force. This is because the first essential of a crop reporting system Is that it shall hav'j lne iiifornu'd approval of iigrlcuitu:'o. "There is llttlo foundation, however, for objections. Govern ment crop reporting averages high In mcuiiny; it is reliable and au thoritative; and It gives the farmer information that cannot be con cealed from experienced observ ers along open roads." Price variations, often laid to the predictions In crop reporting, the pointed out by the secretary to reflect actual supply and demand conditions and not to under or overestimates In forecasts. In format ion on any crop is bused on material obtained from many sources throughout Its cycle. In the case of cotton, reports are received concerning soil prepara tion, fertilizing, plsnting, rephtnt lng, chopping, plowing, spraying, picking, ginning and marketing.
