FOreCasting Can Be OVerplayed
But to get back to the Business
Outlook, l Do not believe that BUSH
ness and employment will fall off
1870 during the next six months
as is generally forecast. Further
more, do not forget that the Fore
casting Business is subject to the
same Law of Action and Reaction
that every other business is. This
can be OverdOne and may have been
OverdOne for 1854. This is one rea-
son we cOntine our forecasts to only
six months at a time. Even the
Gallup Polls, which are honestly
and carefully operated, may turn
out to have been largely a fad.
Here is another thought: Does a
new year necessarily start every
January first? A new year starts
every month and even every day.
Annual Forecasts are based upon
an old religious custom started
centuries ago. From a logical stand
point, it is foolish to celebrate the
ending of an old year every Deem
Der 81 and the beginning of a new
year every January /. I forecast
that some day this silly custom
will be abolished.

From Montana comes the refresh
ing news of a group of stalwart
citizens who are trying to reject
Uncle Sans millions. And oddly
enough, despite their pleas for
economy, there is a chance that
Congress may force a federal irriga-
ton project upon them.
1t was just last year that Senator
Paul Douglas, of Illinois, CHALLENGED
MS fellow senators to demonstrate
their love of economy by Offering to
cut out one federal project in each
state. His anti-spending crusade
collapsed with a dull thud of dis
interest.
Also last year, the farmers of
Roosevelt and McCone Counties, in
Montana, told Congress that they
did not want the $54 million Mis-
sOuri-DiversiOn Dam reclamation
project in their area. Their words
went unheeded as Congress hlithely
voted nearly 50 million to start
construction.
Now the farmers are really up in
arms-180 of them. They have or
gained the landowners Protective
Association. Like the sturdy farmers
of Concord and Lexington, they in
tend to fight for a voice in the
matter of taxes and spending in
their own community.
They have asked for an appoint
ment to tell a committee of law
makers-before any of the 81
million voted last year is actually
committed in contracts-why they
don't want the irrigation dam. They
think it is too expensive. They are
loathe to saddle their acres with
debt because, they say, they know
that irrigation will not increas,
their yearly yields a dollar an acre

Many Of my readers are greatly
disturbed by recent Associated
Press figures showing quite a
falling off in reported December
business. It also appears that figures
for January are none too good.
Readers ask me the reason. My
reply is that in view of a falling
off of consumer demand, and the
consequent piling up Of inventories,
merchants are not buying their
usual quotas of new goods.
Christmas Cards A Factor
The slowness of Christmas buy
ing was due mostly to the unreason-
able weather. Some sections were

rain for months; yet certain states
had seen only rainy days. Many
millions substituted Christmas cards
for gifts. In fact, Christmas cards
