WALLA PLAN
FOR WHEAT SURPLUS
REJECTED BY BOARD
Advocates Say Government
Awaits Perfect Solution
While Farmer Suffers

Washington, Sept. II. R A
charge the farm board would wait In
definitely for q perfect solution Of
the wheat surplus problem while the
wheat farmer perishes was made
Thursday by . group Of Pacific
northwest grain men.
The group. headed by Representa-
tive Summers, Republican, Washing
ton, Wednesday was, notified the
board rejected their proposed "Walla
Walla" plan for disposal Of surplus
wheat and the reduction Of acreage
next year.
THE board will wait indefinitely
for the perfect plan while the wheat
farmer perishes under surplus pro-
duction." the group said In q state
ment before departing for home.
I'VE have made an honest, deter
mined effort to put in operation a
plan to cut surplus production which
the board has always said must be
done II wheat prices r to peru1a-
emily advance. The board has re-
jected the plan. We have asked for q
modified plan but the board offers
no concrete plan to accomplish the
thing they say must be done"
The "Walla Walla" suggestion for
increasing prices and reducing sur
pluses contemplated sale Of wheat
controlled by the board to farmers
upon signing Of contracts not to plant
next years an amount equal to the
purchases. Approximately 00.O00,0 0o
bushels remain In the boards wheat
bins.
Acting Chairman Denrnan, wrote
! Summers, the plan was impractical
and beyond the scope Of the boards
authority. a.
In q letter full Of inconsistencies
and contradictions, the federal farm
board rejects the Walla Walla surplus
wheat control plan," the wheat group
declared.
After 13 hours Of discussion, the
board does not seem to grasp the
economies OF the wheat situation a
completely as does the wheat grower
the country banker and the big bust
ness man who have passed on the
plan. Certainly their letter Of rejec-
ton to our committee Is illogical and
does not outline the plan Is we pre-
sented It. :.
1.-THE board has preached reduction
Of acreage from every platform, over
the radio and through the press FOL
two years, but has secured no reduc-
ton. Now when we present a con.
crete plan to cut production, Chair.
man Stone objects to it on the ground
that nonparticipating wheat growers
in this and foreign countries might
hear Of our plan and increase Their
acreage.
ITO our committee this sounds like
q flat contradiction Of all that haa
ever been said In behalf Of reduced
acreage. Every doubt has been re-
solved by the board against the plan
and nothing-absolutely nothing-iu
its favor"
