ACREAGE REIMBURSEMENT
NEXT YEAR is FORECAST
BY the Associated Press.

Reports from all over the country
on planting intentions of farmers have
led the Department of Agriculture to
conclude that an extensive readjustment
of acreage is in sight.
Staple crops, which have brought
painfully low prices. are to be reduced
N several cases in favor of food and
feed producing acreage, things that can
be consumed on the farm. The shift
began last year but apparently is
gaining
This analysis was made on the basis
of March l reports, made public late
yesterday. Tobacco Is an important
crop to be reduced by as much as 22.6

the other hand are % per cent higher.
together with other feed grains and
sweet potatoes, COW peas and peanuts.
Wheat, which suffered heavily by last
years drought, is to be planted per

about the equal of the 1880 crop.

MANY FIRMS SHOW
| STEADY EARNINGS
Figures for 1891 ReveaI
Strong Cash Position Of
Some Corporations.
Special Dispatch to The Star.

Special Dispatch to The Star.
NEW YORK, March 25-There Is
still a considerable body of American
corporations able to show a satisfac-
tory earning capacity during a period
OF depression. AS the complete figures
of results for 1881 are prepared and
made available for public review, it be-
comes apparent that in many indus
trial and public utility companies there
is an astonishing vitality and a pros
pect for maintenance for some time to
come of present dividend payments.
One list that has just been prepared
by a prominent banking house includes
85 corporations which show a higher
net revenue last year than in 1880. The
total net of these companies IN 1881
! was approximately $330,000.000, COM
pared with slightly less than $780,
o00,0 900 in the year previous. 1t in
cluded about 80 whose shares are listed
on the New York Stock Exchange and
are actively dealt in from day to day.
Utilities Earnings Fairly Steady.
The significant feature of this analy-
sis is the gain in net earnings per share
| over that in what would now be called
the fairly prosperous year of 1880. The
average net per share of the 95 COM
panies last year was 675 per cent. In
1880 it was sos per cent.
There were 10 companies showing
earnings on their stocks last year that
were not able to reveal any profit re-
naming to the credit of their stock in
the preceding year An additional gain
should be credited to the fact that in
number of instances there were more
shares of specific concerns outstanding
in 1881 than in 1890, so the comparison
Is even more favorable than it appears
at first glance. In the list there is only
one conspicuous railroad which en-
| joyed more prosperity last year than in
1880. In general it may be said that
the best exhibit was by the power and
light and telephone companies.
The review supplements figures re-
vealed earlier in the month by a prom
inent bank covering the net worth of
900 industrial corporations at the end
of 1881. This was based on returns
from practically all kinds of manufac-
turing and distributing organizations,
including those that had suffered Sc
we're reaction in their earnings and
others that had benefited by the shift
ing directions of trade. Their total net
worth was approximately $4,000
Evening star., 1932-03-25

900, 600. The remarkable fact was that
the net worth of these 900 concerns ct
the end of last December was only one
half of per cent below that Of the
same period in 1880.
Many comparisons have been made
between conditions in 1921 and In 1881.
Some are favorable; others have q re-
verse trend. In general however. the
statistics indicate the more substantial
character of corporation finances today
than at the height of the last previous
panic and are highly encouraging. The
main differences between the two pc
riods in the balance sheets of corpo-
ratlons are in the reduced bonded debt,
smaller bank loans. lower inventories
and much higher proportion of cash
and marketable securities in current
assets than at any other time in
American corporation history This is
reflected in the tenacity with which
numerous companies have held to
dividend policy. despite the fact that
their earnings have been dropping of
month by month for nearly two years.
Net Working Capital
A third compilation that has lust
been published by a New York Stock
Exchange firm indicates the contrast
in the net working capital of over 80
corporations whose shares are listed
on the big board" A few of them are
worth noting. Bethlehem Steel, for
instance, at the close of 1881 had a
net working capital in excess of $l16,-
100000, against less than $4,000 600
10 years previous. General Electric
showed $190,000.0O0, against $l51 600, =
900; General Motors nearly S319 900, :
600, compared with less than $96, ,00O,-
600; International Harvester about
$225, 100000, copared with $l53,000. 900:
Liggett g. Myers Tobacco Co. $151, ,00O,-
600, against less than $57 ,000 600. and
Montgomery Ward about SOS 900 600,
against less than $15,000, 900. Wool
worth had nearly $4,000 900, against
$50 100000 more than 10 years preyi-

NEW YORK, March 25.-The first IL
railroads to report net operating income

flecting the 10 per cent wage reduction
which became effective February /.

The February reduction amounted to
1875 per cent, which was considerably
less severe than in January, when net
was So $40 per cent under the same
period of year previously.
Gross revenues of these roads in Feb
ruary of this year amounted to $3s, ,944,-

OKLAHOMA CITY, March 25.-More
oil to sell for more money-the oil
mans dream-will become an actuality

Just after three large companies had
joined in giving notice they will pay
a top price of 81 a barrel for crude oil
beginning April l. the Oklahoma Cor
poration Commission responded to a
demand of purchasers by increasing the
daily allowable flow of the Great Okla
homa City field 10000 barrels to a
maximum of lis, 1000 barrels.
