Other resolutions adopted by the aoctoty follow In full: Whereas, during the past year It has been the practice of the United States department of agriculture, bu reau of agricultural economics, to re lease for publication In the general prssa of the country certain crop pro duction figures, accompanied by price forecasts, and Whereas, the release of such price predictions has a tendency to react unfavorably to producers by reason of purchasers losing confidence In the market value of such products, caus ing purchasers to either delay or re frain from making forward purchases and thereby contributing to the de moralization of markets at producing points, and Possible Errors Seen. Whereas, particularly with perlshr able crops such forecasts of either production or price are apt to be erroneous because of the many con tributing fsctors, such as weather or reductions In harvest of competing crops, Now, therefore, be It resolved, by the members of the Oregon State Horticultural society here assembled In annvi meeting, that the secretary ot agriculture be requested to refrain from Issuing any press releases or publications of any kind concerning price forecasts, and that great care be exercised In the compiling and Issuance of production estimates, and tiist when such estimates are released they shall refer only to known com mercial production and yearly pro duction figures be compared and re ferred to on a commercial basis only, and Be It further resolved .that the sec retary be Instructed to forward copies ef this resolution to the Hon.

Whereas, many known professional radical agitators have been engaged In fomenting strikes, walkouts, etc.. accompanied by violence with the professed object of producing chaotic conditions and paralyzing industry In accordance with the principles of the Communist party, and Whereas, the agricultural Interests of California have found It necessary i to organize and have so organized themselves In each agricultural coun ty of California under the name of Associated Farmers of California, Inc., for the purpose of insisting upon and protecting their undoubted legal right to grow, harvest and transport their crops without intefrence from or ganized groups, and Whereas, similar organizations nave been formed In Oregon and Washing ton for the same purpose.
