A lot of good that will do our
farmers, eh! Read this:
“A House subcommittee said to
day an over-estimate of the 1951
cotton crop by the Agriculture de
partment caused a serious break in
cotton prices and a resulting loss
of millions of dollars to cotton
farmers.
A large part of the over-estimate
“could and should have been
avoided," the agriculture subeom-
1 mittee told the House,

ures upon request of Abernethy
and others who complained that
the estimate of cotton production
dropped two million bales between
September and December.
In assigning the reason for the
over-estimate, the subcommittee
said that about one-third could be
attriboted to an error in estimating
the acreage in cultivation on July
1, and the other two-thirds to fail
ure to reflect properly and prompt
ly bad weather during July and
August.
^»The subcommittee said it was
“eniouraged to find that the gen
eral accuracy of the department’s
cotton estimates has improved
gradually over the past 35 years.”
But it added that the crop report
ing methods haven’t changed for
many years “and it is still possible
and probable that there will be se
rious errors in its calculations in
any abnormal or unusual years.”
It said a more modern method of
estimating crops based an statisti
cal samplings would be much more
costly and it doubted if the “im
provement in the over-all accuracy
would justify the increased cost.”
