JOHN D. CELEBRATES NINETIETH BIRTHDAY
TO U. S. E
WASHINGTON. (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. C, and Ito
chfstor, N. Y., and between Ban
Francisco and J..os Angeles.
"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.
Thousands of fnrmcrs und a large

IN THE RESCUE

piece, "Tho Jtescue," as the vehicle
for his first appearance us an indi

appear In a new light when "The

"Itcau Ceato" now has a ride of
the sea and desperate ljidguc
among the natives of the Malay
archipelago. Uly Uamlta plays
thi beautiful Mrs. Travers.
There Is very opportunity for
beauty of setting and' matchless
drama In tho plot of "The Jtescue"
In the midst of Captain Tom J,ln

volving the throne of a Malay
prince, blundered an Knglish yacht
fatcfully stranded In (hi midst of
what, was to bo the dark theatre
of war. Of tho three white -passengers,
only the owner's wife
understood liio situation and Un
gard. On him fell the decision
to save the whiten und ruin his
enterprise. or let the miivcs
have their way with them and
fulfill his dobt to tho Malayan
prince.
And love! To Llngnrd this wo
