Crop Growers
to Discuss Cut
in Corn Acreage
Leaders From Different Sec.
tions of State Will Dis.
cuss Plan at Meeting in.
Lincoln Monday.

| Lincoln, Dec. 3l.-Agita.ion for a
reduction in the corn acreage oi
Nebraska next year will come in for
attention during the meeting here
OF the Nebraska Crop Growers as
ISOLATION, the association having de-
cided to devote the morning of jan
uary z 10 this and related subjects.
Ways and means OF rcorganizating
the farm businento meet The chang
cd economic conditions also will be
discussed. The viewpoints from the
eastern, central and western Sec
tions of the state will be analyzed
by prominent farmers in each por-
tion.
During the war, farmers were
urged to increase the quantity OF
foodstuffs, added to which was the
lure OF high prices for grain," says
letter from the association. "This
led many farmers to break up and
cultivate rough land that was unfit
for cultivation-for any length of time.
Other land not quite so rough has
been under cultivation for so long
that erosion finally has gotten the
best of it,
Now that grain prices are low the
farmer is more willing 10 consider
seeding some Of that land back to
pasture Of hay crops, the letter adds,
and the Tuesday session of the as
sociation will be devoted to discus
sion of this problem.
Curtail Corn Acreage.
North Platte, Neb., Dec. 3l.-l
Especial. Few farmers in Lincoln
county will curtail their acreage o.
corn in 1922. In this county practi-
cally all corn grown is fed, and as
a result local demand is strong and
feeders are paying IS cents bushel.
This is 10 cents above the price that
could be paid if bought for ship
ment to the Omaha market. Many i
of the farmers are holding their corn
for a 50-cent market. 1
Opposed to Reduction.
Denison, Ia, Dec. 3l.-(Special)
Jacob Wiess, owner of four large
farms near here, which he and his
sons operate, has the following to-
say concerning the plan to reduce
the acreage of corn unless prices
increase to point where they will
pay expense Of production.
My attention has been called to
The advice given by some of the lead
srs of agricultural thought, that thel
price of corn will be increased if thel
farmers have less acreage for the
coming season. For my part, dol
lot favor such action. From my in
based on conversation with
many farmers / do not think any in
his locality expect to plant less

S no way to determine just what
he crop of the next year will be.
Jo rain, hot winds, early frost, bad .

ing an olive branch, struck by the
rays OF the sun, with the word
"peaee" beneath it. This is the first
change in the design Of the dollar
since 1873, officials said, and will re-
main as the design of the dollar for
rs years, unless changed by legis-
lation.
About 100000 OF the new dollars
probably will be coined with the
date OF 1921, and after that the dollar
will carry date OF the year in which
it was struck off Efforts are being
made, it was explained, to complete
the coinage of at least half million
of the new dollars with the 1921
date in order to avoid scarcity OF
the coin, which would result in
premium being placed upon them by
numismatists.
There will be in all about 10000
600 dollars of the new design coined,
officials say. Coinage OF silver dol
lars ceased in 1904, it was explained,
when the silver purchases authorized
by the Sherman act had beeen COM
pleted, but it was resumed again in
February of this year when the pur-
chase of silver was begun under the
Pittman act to replace the dollars
melted and sold to the British gov
,rnmerlt during the war.
