Inquiry Reveals 'Plan to Cut Wheat
Acrers Fifteen Per. Cent
, . inm last Tear.
Sidney, Neh Sept. 11. Western
Nebraska . will see a market change
in agriculture' during the next year,
in the opinion of farm observers In
this section of the state. Following
one of the most disastrous years since
the transformation of the Pan-Handle
from a cattle country to a grain
producing .area,' ' the farmers are
known to be contemplating a large
reduction in- wheat - acreage, and
cuts also in corn, barley and oats.
Inquiries during the last two
weeks revealed as almost certain a
15 per cent cut in wheat acreage in
the Pan-Handle, region. Nineteen
western Nebraska counties anounced
a reduction of 12 per cent this year
and if the proposed cut is carried
through wheat planting will be re
duced more than 25 per tnt in $wo
years.
Farmers see little hope for a sub
stantial improvement in grain mar
ket prices.. More, than a hundred
growers have, been .interviewed dur
ing the last several weeks and many
were in favor of allowing the law
of supply and - demand a chance to
correct the- market situation, and in
favor of abolishing the federal farm
board.
Since the w6rld war, wheat has
been a principal farm ' product In
western Nebraska and the loss . of
revenue from this crop has left the
growers facing' a serious problem.
A steady ' mdve toward hog rais
ing is reported. Many farmers have
weathered the period of depression
so far by raising hogs, but tbey com
plain of the price of hogs.
The poor Teturn from crops has
forced many farmers to fall behind
on payment, of their obligations.
Many are taking jobs in - nearby
towns to aid them in paying expenses
during the -winter. World'-Herald.

Crisis.

SCorie of tbefurrai: board said today:
"We do not- contemplate asking the
next congress. Xor any. more money."
The board: is negotiating in sev
eral quarteraMXor - additional sales of
a part of.Itlre -0Q niillipn bushels of
wheat it holds, Stone added, but said
he had "nothing to say whatever" on
reports that Germany was negotiat
ing for SCO thousand tons of farm
board grain.
Stone said ha had an appointment
tomorrow to discuss with Represen
tatives Summers of Washington and
French of Idaho the so-called "Walla
Walla plan for wheat control." The
two presented ,!he plan loday tc
President Hoover.
What Plan Provides.
The plan provides that the farm
board sell its surplus wheat to the
wheat farmer, the price to be baned
on the term! nut' markets.
The amount to be sold each farm
er. Summers said, would be equal tho
acreage which the farmer agrees to
withdraw from seeding in 1932, mul
tiplied by the. average wheat yield
per acre in the locality where the
land so withdrawn is located.
- The farm board, under the plan,
would carry the purchasers' obliga
tions at. the same rate of interest
which China and Germany are being
asked to pay. for the wheat sold to
them.
Summers said that in his opinion
the plan would "definitely lift 250
million bushels of wheat now con
trolled by ' the farm board off the
market for. one year and should fa
vorably affect the market immediate
