THE FULL ACREAGE
CROP RESTRICTION LIFTED.
DANGER OF DROUGHT IN AMERICA. By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. Washington, March 20. The Agricultural Adjustment Commission has lifted the restrictions on the planting of spring wheat and farmers have reported that 17,847,000 acres will be planted, an increase of 8,557,000 over the 1934 planting. The Secretary for Agriculture, Mr. H. A. Wallace, will permit farmers who agreed to reduce production by 10 per cent, to plant tbair full acreage and compensate for it by a larger reduction of acreage in 1936. The action has been taken to avoid reduction of yield and possible importations of wheat resulting from the possible recurrence of the droughts m several of the major wheat producing States, where the rainfall and subsoil moisture are still subnormal.
