BY the Associated Press.
Secretary Of Agriculture Wallace has
rejected the proposed sugar stabiliza-
ton agreement, which would have al
loted various producing areas quotas
which they might supply the domestic
market annually. The total for the
year beginning July would have been
around 100000 raw tons.
THE agreement appears to me to
emphasize unduly the interest of proc
essors rather than the income of farm
ers." Wallace said
Negotiations have been going on for
more than three months, attended by

The Secretary said mo action on the
proposed sugar marketing agreement is
practicable at this time because OF
changes in conditions, such as uncer-
tatnties In Cuban production, and be-
cause Of difficulties Of operation dis
closed by further study Of the proposed
agreement"
At the Secretary's Office 1t was said
that plans for sugar agreement, in
cludtng the various producing areas,
might be taken up In the future, but
since the sugar harvest has already be-
gun, 1t was regarded as a foregone
conclusion that no accord could be
reached to affect this years crop.
The Secretary did not elaborate his
reference to Cuban production, but dur

through as soon as possible beet sugar

Fear was expressed that be-
