Chicago, November ia grad
ual reduction in the wheat acreage

be brought about as major step In
the solution Of the wheat production
problem, the production committee
of the wheat council of the United
States decided today, President
Sydney. Anderson announced.
The lower acreage is sufficient to
meet the domestic requirements of
the country and should be brought
about as soon as alternative crops
can be introduced, the announce
ment said.
At the same time the production
committee decided that steps
should be taken to establish a per-
manently broadened domestic mar
ket for wheat, which it holds is an
essential part of the plan for stab
iliZation Of the business of wheat
growing. Increased domestic con-
sumption Is urged,
For, Long Time Program

"Cur rrnorau requires a reduction
Of ~ G0n.000 acres and the planning
Of this land to other crops. The adj
-'horal wheat required from year
