Unofficial, but reliable information in diplomatic circles in Paris is that Germany will soon send a second memorandum to the powers explaining her original proposition on security. A semioffi cial commounique hints that the overproduction was somewhat check ed, and packers stored less pork than usual so that in the period of heaviest markeiing prices had r.ot to sustain the additional weight of large ac cumulated supplies. The result was les5e?ied price fluctuation. Inother words, the forecast of overproduc tion enabled farmers and packers to deal intelligently with the problem that the supply created. Another illustration of the prac tical value of the government's fore casts of forthcoming hog supplies has been furnished in the lart few months. A pig survey made last June indicated the farmers were probably going too far in their efforts to cor- far for him to gauge- his pro duction ahead, in accordance with available data forecasting production and price trends. As yet relatively few farniern do this. Heretofore, for example, or. ly limited use has been m.ide of the department's intention to plar.t re ports. These reports are is ueJ pvicp a year, in March for spring crops, like wheat, eats, harb y, po ttoc-s. and tobacco, and in Auu.-t for winter wheat and rye. They nhow vl. at farmers are planning to plrnt. Some times these plans, if carried ojt, would shift the acreage c-f a given crop in the wrong direction.
