Taking an average pr!i- of !.'. nn aero for all varieties of

wheat production would be cut in half, according to this
J year's estimated crop of 600 million bushels in this country.

But the. government purchased land would have to be
,f divided in the right proportion among the commodities re

would be necessary to get farmers to sell their land on a
