It seems Just possible, therefore, that not too much had been expected from the conversations In London regarding world whent problem Secretary Wallace estimated that 430,0ii0,fiuii bushels would be needed out of next years crop the 1934 acreage in addition to the carryover from this and previous years to supply domestic needs. Accordingly, he has sent instructions to farm agents or agricultural exteng sion agents In the various counties to get to work on The contracts with tiie farmer agreements are like those which the cotton farmers were asked to, and did sign. It Is a voluntary proposition. If the farmer signs the contract to withhold some of his normal acreage from planting next year, he will benefit by the receipt of cold cash to the extent of 28 cents a bushel out of the sum which the government collects as a processing tax. I am told that Secretary Wallace Is about ready to announce how much the acreage will have to be reduced in the 2,233 counties In 42 states where wheat Is more than a side crop such as on that "strip The maximum across tiie ditch. that will be cut Is 20 per cent of a farmers average acreage over the past five year Secretary Hull Is baok from London, has had a night of confidential conversation wllh President RooseBy ELMO SCOTT WATSON velt He Is ready to go ahead.
