that the Secretary of Agriculture. after
this second adverse decision. will seek to
prove either the incompetence -pf the

its decision.
There has been much popular dissat-

that these crop reports We're obtained
primarily in the interest Of farmers and
planters, and It his apparent inability to
see that, if accurate. they We're suite as
valuable to and as much in the interest

should take steps to get rid of the ex-
