    Expansion Noted
in Acreage Flan
for Farm Crops
Federal Officials Warn Thai
Lower Prices ill Result
From Too Great 192,">
Production.
Washington, March 19.—A ten
dency toward general expansion of
farm crop acreage this year was
noted in an "Intention to plant'’ re
port today by the Department ot
Agriculture, which issued with it. a
virtual warning that too great pro
duct Ihn would, result In lower prices.
"It seems doubtful.’’ ihe statement
said, "if the general expansion of
production contemplated by the farm
ers would be to their best interests.
Increa sed returns for the crops of
1924 were largely due to reduced
supplies, either in this country or
ahi-pad, rather than to any increase
in demand. The outlook indicates
tha? any marked expansion in most
line* would tend to lower prices and
tesijlt in less satisfactory returns to
farmers.
* Wheat Area Increased.
"K- reported intent ions are carried
out,. the acreage in spring wheat will
he Increased 14 i>er cent, or nearly
2 5041,000 acres. Wirfter wheat seed
ing* last fall were increased 8.5 per
rent ipver Ilie previous year. Allow
ng’for average abandonment, how
eve*, the Increase in winter wheat
are< to lie harvested would he about
4.5 Ter rent greater than last year,
and the increase in all wheat would
ho about 7 per cent or about S,
Soojioo acres.
"ST farmers generally carry out
thei{ intentions as reported March 1,
cortf acreage will tie increased by J.3
per scent above that grow n for har
vestjjlast year. This would make the
corn’acreage in 1925 3 per cent above
the '1923 acreage and more than 4
per cent larger than 1922,
Corn Prices I>ower.
' Farmers who are intending to
produce, corn in exetss of their own
feeding requirements should not ex
pect to receive as high a price for
theif surplus as has prevailed for the
392^ crop.''
Farmers intend to plan 4 per cent
less, area to potatoes, the report
statgd, and 3.3 per cent less to flax
seed] 5.6 per cent more oats, 23 per
cent more barley, 29,5 per cent more
sweet potatoes, 10.7 per cent more
grain sorghums, 9.9 per rent more
tnbslcco. 4.5 per cent more peanuts
and^ll per rent more rice. The tame
ba.vjarreago planned appeared to be
the eiame as last year.
