Nov. 25. —(AP) — The AAA indicated today it may use its $500,000 000 soil conservation program tie v, year to hold down production of most major crops. Officials have been going over the sugg<* lions of many farmers in an effort to map rules for payment of benefits under the 1937 program. •Most farmers want us to hold down acreage of corn, cotton, tobacco and feed grains below what it would he if (here were no program,” said H. Jl Tolley, AAA administrator. With winter wheat already planted on what private reports say is a re cord acreage and spring wheat far mers demanding an equal chance, Tolley said these farmers will face price depressing surpluses next fall ‘ if we have normal weather.” The AAA chief said past programs and recent droughts had largely eli minated surplus problems in most ci ops, but that high prices for many fat m products this year had caused a natural desire among some farmers to expand acreages."
