Reduction urged in harvest acres
Washington reports a UPA survey by four government farm agencies calls for cutting harvested cropland by 15 to 50 million acres below the 1928 32 average. It warns expansion to the long term average would slash agricultural income, while endorsing some increases in drought affected production. The report favors shifting 20 to 30 million acres from soil depleting to soil conserving crops and notes erosion threat to 50 million acres. Signed by A G Black of the Bureau of Agricultural Economics with the Agricultural Adjustment Administration and other agencies.
