WHEAT RESTRICTION.
WASHINGTON, February 1. Mr Chester Davis, Farm Administrator, announced to-day that the removal of an additional 5,523,000 acres of wheat land from production would be undertaken in order to bring the United States output within the terms of the international wheat agreement. In the next ten days, Mr Davis declared, plans for making a reduction in addition to that already made last autumn will be presented to the wheat producers. He indicated that they would probably call for an additional reduction by the present signers of the campaign for new contracts. Officials also indicated that the proposed additional steps for reducing production and stimulating consumption among the countries signatory to the international agreement might necessitate the calling of another general conference.
