Wheat slash test for new farm act
The administration's plan to limit 1939 wheat planting to a 55 million acre national allotment faces a heavy test of its new farm law. Secretary Wallace cites forecasts of a 967 million bushel crop with a potential 400 million bushel surplus and warns that excess plantings would hurt prices. Beneficiary payments totaling about 125 million dollars are offered to secure compliance, while failure could trigger marketing quotas after a farmer referendum next spring.
