Cotton acreage in the United States
next Spring probably will not exceed
5000 900 acres. instead Of the custom
ary 100000. Secretary of Agriculture
Wallace said last night.
In q radio address, the Secretary re-
viewed the programs under way by the
Farm Adjustment Administration and
said leaders Of the South had assured
him they would soon have a plan ready
so they will not plant cotton in the
unlimited, planless way they have in
the past"
THUS far" he said, I'VE have been
ruled by events quite as much as we
have ruled events, but considering the
shortness of time and the pressure
upon us. think that we have done q
fairly good job. What We have done
Is only the barest beginning Of all we
shall have to do. The new social and
economic machinery that we have set
going in this country since March Is
. crude and as promising as Robert
Fulton's first steamboat.
"The cotton plan, the corn and hog
plan, the dairy, tobacco, fruit and
wheat programs that we are now
launching-all these are experimental
first steps In new direction. Once you
take the first step in that direction. you
are forced to other steps and a wider

FARM CORPORATION
S)Q,0)D IN HOLE|
Years Operating Loss of
Grain Cooperative Market
Ing Agency Given Public.
By the Associated Press.

CHICAGO, August 22-The Farmers
National Grain Corporation, one of the
worlds largest cooperative marketing
agencies, reported to its stockholders
today an operating loss of approx
mately s500.000 for the fiscal year
"uded last May 81.
George S. Minor, vice president and
general manager of the company, In
making public the report, pointed out,
however, that grain purchased by the
corporation and that handled on a
commission basis, totaled 160,754, 1872
bushels and said volume of grain
originated by stockholders exceeded
that Of the previous year.
The adverse factors affecting the
corporations earnings were listed by
Minor as the small profit margin in
grain during the greater part Of the
year, result of low prices; unusual
business hazards, such as the banking
holiday; and the action of the Chicago
Board of Trade in suspending the
Updike Grain Co., subsidiary Of
Farmers National from clearing house
privileges after denying the co-opera-
tive such privileges in its own name.
The Chicago exchange had held its
rules Of long standing barred co-opera-
ttves, as such, from its trading facili-
ties.
Adjustments to meet business con-
dttions of the past year, Minor said
included salary reductions from 10 to
20 per cent and elimination of un-
profitable branch offices. He said the
company, which started business under
Aegia Of the former Federal Farm
Board in 1929, has created liberal re-
serves and earned $1,409,618 net for
the full period of its existence.
While country and terminal elevator
space controlled by the cooperative
last year reached u 900 900 bushels,
Minor said leases on about 23,500,000
bushels space were not renewed be-
cause Of short crop prospects.
The adjustments completed and In
creased utilization Of inland waterway
facilities should enable the company
to conduct its business profitably
during the current year, Minor said.
