WEATHER FORECASTS FAIL
SELY ASCRIBED TO WEATH.
Err BUREAU

Mary people talk and write abb
out tho weather, as if they had
the authority of the Weather
Bureau of the United States De-
partment of Agriculture for what
they say. Several recent occur
rences illustrate the tendency on
the part of portion of the pub
lie to presuppose that any state
ment regarding weather must is
sue from that bureau. AS a re-
suit, when an erroneous or doubt
full forecast is made and circulat-
ed by some irresponsible person,
many others accept it in good
faith and act upon it in one way
or another. Thus the public at
large may unconsciously be mis-
led to it's own disadvantage.
For example, predictions of a
cold winter specifically ascribed
to the Weather Bureau have been
used for advertising purposes in
entire sincerity by some COM
rlercial concern anxious to sell
cold weather commodities,-coal,
or coats, or furs, or other things.
The public is led to buy these art
icles because of the apparent au-
thority of the statement. When
actual conditions do not fulfill the
prophecy, they feel disappointed
and inclined to distruct future
statements issued by the Weather

DEFINITE ADJUSTMENT OF
COTTON ACREAGE NEEDED
SAYS JARDINE

Washington, D. c., Nov. 28.-
Cotton farmers and their families
did bit of "eavesdropping" last
night. Practically every cotton
growing community heard over
the radio relayed account of a
discussion Of the cotton situation
which took place between a rep
resentative cotton farmer and
Secretary of Agriculture Jardine
lin the latters office in Washing
ton. 1t was "radio night" for
the cotton farmers.
Secretary Jardine agreed with
his visitor that while the present
predicament in the South is large
lily due to the overproductlon of
cotton, the real remedy rests in
securing the cooperation of bank
ers and merchants in promoting a
safe farming policy in the South.
The discussion brought out the
fact that cotton production dur
inc recent years has increased
from around 100000 to al
most 48,000,000 acres; that with
one-fourth less acreage than was
planted last year the worlds re-
quirements for American cotton
could BE supplied.
The Secretary was heard to say
further that 1--WE must convince
the banker that the cotton farm
er ifs an unsafe man to do business
with if he continues to grow cot
ton and little also. A banker or
merchant who will not actually en-
courage his customers to grow the
necessary food and feed required
for farm and home use and a lit
tie to sell, has adopted a short
sighted policy.
"We must learn how to adjust
production to market demand"
said the Secretary. "But, in re-
ducing acreage, we must adjust
the program to the circumstances
of the individual farmer. It
would be unwise and dangerous
in most cases for cotton formers
to turn entirely or even largely
to other cash crops, hut NJ farm
er can go wrong, he said, by pro-
viding homegrown products for
his family and farm livestock and
have a little something to sell be-
sides cotton. IF every farmer |
in the South will be sure to do |
this much next year, an average
Of 25 per cent reduction in cot
ton acreage will probably result.

CATTLE RANCHES TO B]
FENCED

Cattlemen of the Patagonia dis
trict, with the cooperation of the
Forest Service have decided to
divide the forest reserve in that
territory and each one receive an
allotment which will be fenced and
kept separate from the others.
This will be to the advantage of
the cattlemen inasmuch as here
totore the land has not been fem
ced and all cattle have run toge-
ther so that those who cared to
handle purebred stock were handi-
capped for their stock was run
ming with grade cattle. A. S.
Wingo, forest ranger in this ter
rltory, reports the range in far
better condition than it has been
for years. Many stockmen are
shipping cattle from this terrific
ry and most Of them are in fine
shape.

Bureau, even when they contain
important warnings.
Apropos of this type of predic-
ton, the Weather Bureau has
steadily maintained that it can
not at present attempt to make
forecasts for months, seasons, or
years in advance, nor does it be-
lieve that this is feasible with data
now available to meteorologists.
1t therefore confines it's forecasts
to those made daily or for a week
in advance, also for aspects of
the weather, such as cold or <hot
waves or other phenomena whose
progress across the country can be
anticipated with some degree of
accuracy.
