Crop Forecast Policy
OF Federal Agriculture
Department Defended

WASHINGTON, Aug. 1S.-Agri-
cultural forecasting by the govern
ment, which has been criticized re-
Gently in some quarters, was de-
Tended today by DR.. Henry c. Tay-
lor, chief of the bureau of agricul-
tural economics of the department
of agriculture, who declared it to
be of great Importance, particularly
in periods of unsettled economic
conditions. 1t is valuable, he said
not only to the individual farmer
and dealer in farm products, ITS the
basis of wise farm management and
marketing, but also to the nation
as the basis of national agricui-
tural policy.
Frequent changes in the sources
of supply and quantities produced
and their effect on prices of farm
products lead to Il desire for a bet
ter basis of judgment than farmers
have had in projecting their PLANS
for the coming year." said Dr. Tay-
lor. "a forecast is a statement of
what may be expected to happen,
based upon present conditions and
observations interpreted in the
light of previous experience"
