WHEAT CONTROL
PROPOSAL HIT
BY STONE
Chairman Says Farm Board
viii Not Further Plan to
Organize in 3-Year Group
BY HARRY WARD

The Federal farm board today
turned thumbs down on a pro.
poSal that a nationwide cam.
paign be made by organized
farmers, with financial aid and
moral support from the board,
to obtain control Of the surplus
wheat crops Of 1881 to 1888, in.
elusive.
The plan also proposed to
limit the surplus from the crops
Of 1882 end 1888 by having at
least IS per cent of the wheat
growers to join a national sur.
plus control association with a
three-year membership contract
bindin., each Signatory to a
definite program.
Views Given in Letter
The boards views on the pro-
poSal were published in a letter
from Chairman James c.. Stone
to F. j. Wilmer, of the North
Pacific Grain Growers Co-opera'
tive Association, Rosalia, Wash.
The proposal, in effect, was
that each farmer hold or de-
liver to the association without
advance payment such proper
tion of his wheat crop as the
board of directors might deter
mine, on a percentage basis for
the crop as a whole; grain so
delivered to be sold through the
Farmers National Grain Corpora
tion so as not to affect the
domestic market for milling
wheat; the surplus over cost Of
handling and transportation to
be returned to the grower.
Limit On Acreage
Each grower was to limit his
acreage Sown for the crops OF
1882 and 1888 in such percentage
as the board Of directors would
designate. Mr.. Stone wrote:
"The boards conclusion is
that the plan does not afford
q practical way of dealing
with our great surplus prob
lem"
Mr.. Stone said that more i'm
portant than any new compre
hensive plan for nationwide
adoption is that wheat growers
in all sections should know what
the conditions really are, and be
in position to take steps that are
best suited to their individual
circumstances and in theil
locality.
The board had emphasized the
importance Of a general reduc
ton of wheat acreage in every
region, and distTessingly low
wheat prices are bringing this
argument home to growers in
other exporting countries as well
as the United States, he con
cluded.

Now that the weakness which,
I anticipated for the early part h,
of the week has developed in the,
stock market, do not feel quite
So sure as I did about the rally. =
Probably the volume of trading
will tell the story. 1t increased aa
little on the decline. If selling
continues to increase gradually,
the decline is likely to go furthersS.
Still a Chance -
But, if the volume remainsS
small, and especially if it falls off
on weakness, the slight recovery
1 have hoped for the end of the,
week may yet come. -
Down to yesterday, one of the
most encouraging points was the.
declining volume of trading DUR
ing periods of weakness. The dull-SS
ness meant absence of selling
pressure.
Moreover, the large number Of
stocks lending at a premium has
probably indicated a relatively.
large short account. -
Bull Signs Few In
But aside from such evidence,a
there is not much to be said oul
the bull side of the market. 80
AS I see it, the market has been
trying to rise from the April dezs
cline. So its recent ability to gos
ahead is discouraging. It hasr
failed to show good rallyings )
