Wheat acreage cut urged by agriculture officials
Washington May 8. If 1939 wheat prospects warrant a bumper crop, the Agriculture Adjustment Administration expects a drastic reduction in plantings. The 1939 program may call for a 37.5 percent cut, from about 80 million to about 50 million acres, the smallest since before World War I, with a harvest projected between 825 million and 1 billion bushels and a surplus of 200 million from last year. Compliance with allotments would affect eligibility for federal payments and loans.
