STONE SEES END
OF FARM SURPLUS
Board Chairman Predicts
Recovery of Markets
Within Year.
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
In tune with the merry song of ris-
ing wheat prices, Chairman Stone of
the Farm Board today predicted that
the burdensome world surplus of the
food crop would be entirely removed by
next year.
Crop shortages and weather damage,
Stone said, together with strong indi-
cations of short planting next year
will put us back on an even keel as
far as the relation between production
and consumption is concerned"
Favor Acreage Cuts.
One of the gospels preached by the
Farm Board has been the elimination
of the wheat surplus through acreage
reduction.
Alexander Legge, when Farm Beard
chairman, toured the grain country,
urging the farmers to cut production
and Stone and other board members
followed his lead
The chairman has received private
estimates that the American Winter
wheat acreage will be reduced ID to %
per cent
Farmers have planted approximately
IL per cent less Winter wheat this Fall
and dry weather In the Southwest has
further curtailed acreage and seeding
and increased prospects for consider
able abandonment.
Regarding the current increase in
prices, Stone would only say Il am very
happy" He estimated that a larger
percentage of wheat remains on farms
than in other years
Private estimates place the increased
value of wheat at more than 5000 000,-
900, much of it being added to the
purchasing power Of rural communities.
