WHEAT HARVEST LIMITING SOUGHT BY FARMBOARD Study Methods of Removing 5,422,000 Acres From Production. By United Press WASHINGTON. Feb.~2.—Limitation of this year's wheat harvest to 45,580,000 acres, in conformity with the international agreement adopted at London last summer was sought by the farm administration through supplementary crop control measures today. Methods of removing from production an additional 5.422.000 acres with a potential yield of about 73,000.000 bushels were studied. Proposals included: 1. Outright rental of wheat land. Winter wheat already seeded would be plowed under in the same man-

ner that growing cotton was destroyed last year. Estimate Brings Decision 2. Increase in the reduction allotments of farmers already under contract and corresponding increase in benefit payments. 3. Removal of surplus varieties, particularly in the Pacific northwest, where the oversupply problem is keen. Administrator Chester Davis said decision to seek additional reduction was based on an informal estimate by George E. Farrell, chief of the AAA wheat section, that the 1934 harvest would total 51,200.000 acres, 33,352,000 acres in winter wheat and 17,870,000 acres in spring varieties. No Compulsory Control Under the London agreement the United States is committed to limit harvested acreage to 85 per cent of the 1931-32-33 base of 53,933.000 acres. The AAA's acreage reduction program, it is currently indicated, will result in a crop reduction of only 7.2 per cent instead of 15 per cent, as originally planned. Violation of the London agreement will not be risked, but compulsory control measures are not under consideration, Mr. Davis said.
