Increased government benefits
•will be derived from the $212,000-
000 price-adjustment fund appro

AAA Administrator H. R. To!-
ley said that the farm meeting,
while advocating some changes,
was certain that the principles of
th e program were sound and that
was certain that the principles of
the 1938 program should not be
changed materially.
Most of the modifications sug
gested were intended to
strengthen the soil building and
conservation phases of the pro

gram and to simplify and im
prove administration, he said.
"The prob e>ns created by in
creased surpluses were diacusseo
at the conference and the concen
sus was that producers should
make full use of the program, in
cluding marketing quotas if need
be, to prevent the demoralization
of farm prices, and farm income,"
Tolley said.
EtwentiaJ Points Given
Essential points of the 1939 pro
gram, Tolley said, are:
1. Establishment of national al
lotments for soil-depleting crops
and a national objective for soil
j building crops and practices.
2. Establishment of individual
soil-depleting crop allotments for
wheat, cotton, corn, rice, potatoes,
flue-cured, burley, fire-cured, dark
air-cuied ( cigar {filler and binder
and Georgia-Florida cigar wrap
per tobaccos.
3. A maximum payment to be
calculated for each farm partici
pating in the program.
4. Crop classifications and soil
building practices similar to those
approved in 1938.
5. The provsion that land used
for home gardens may be exclud
ed in calculating soil-depleting
crops for the farm.
6. The continuation of efforts
to restore grass, land unsuited for
crops in the great plains area.
Wheat Allotment
The 1939 allotment for wheat
was made two months ago at 55,-
000,000 acres. This compared with
80,000,000 planted for harvest
this year and an average of 69,-
000,000 acres for the past 10
years.
Wallace aaid that in view of the'
current supply of cotton (13,400,-
000 bales) that the acreage allot
ment for cotton next year will ap
proximate the 27,500,000 acrea al
lotted for this year.
The acreage allotment for corn,
tobacco, rice and other commodi
ties for which special allotments!
will be made in 1939 will be de-|
termined upon the basis of the
situation affecting these commodi
ties and will be determined after
1938 production is known, Wallace
said.
"On the basis of the current
production estimate for corn, the
1939 corn acreage allotment for
the commercial corn production
area will not be greatly different
from the 1938 allotment," Tolley
said.
