IDLE LAND PROBLEM
PUZZLES OFFICIALS
Estimate As, 1000, 900 Acres Out of
Production as Result of Crop
Control Plans.
BY the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
The problem of what to do with the
millions of acres of farm land in the
United States which have been taken
out Of production is becoming daily
more acute as the crop control plans of
the Farm Adjustment Administration
advance.
Ohicials estimate that approximately
$4,000, 900 acres which have been
planted to cotton. wheat, corn or other
basic farm commodities In the past
either will have to grow something else
next year OF lie idle. The use to which
they will be put is adding to the already
plentiful worries of the Farm Admins
tration.
1t would cause another violent up
heaval If the land was turned back to
permanent pasture to glut the markets
already oversupplied with milk and its
products, live stock and poultry.
Dairymen and cattlemen. among
others, have presented resolutions view
ing the possibility with alarm despite
the precautions taken by the Farm Ad-
ministration.
Long ago, farm officials foresaw the
danger and drew specific regulations
covering the use to which the acres that
are to be removed from wheat may be
put. In brief, they prohibit the plant
ing of this land to any nationally pro-
duced food crop or commodity,
The Interpretation and enforcement
of these rules, however, are something
else. There is nothing to prevent the
farmer who takes part in the wheat
campaign, or those in the making for
cotton, corn or other commodities, from
growing foodstuffs for his home con-
sumption on the acres which would
have been planted to the basic crop.

Warns Against Use

Senator Byrd Compares

BY the Associated Press.
A warning against the boycott In the
N. r. A. drive was sounded last night
by Senator Harry Flood Byrd, Demo-
crat, of Virginia, in a radio address in
support of the recovery program.
II shall never" Byrd said, Endorse
the boycott, because a boycott is like
lynch law. Nearly always hot temper
prejudice and Misrepresentation control
the punishment and injustice is done.
Public opinion can operate and the
law be enforced without breeding In
the hearts of our people hatreds and
prejudices which may last Throughout
the years."
There are some employers in small
business, he said. who cannot increase
their staffs. and with those public
opinion and the Government should
deal with justice and understanding"
But every employer, If he Is able te
do So" he added, should sign now the
Presidents unemployment agreement ir
order that more men, and women may
be employed in order that more spend
ing may result from restored confidence
and that the increase in the money
spent to buy things may make . profit

"Then will the hum of industry I'll

Credit Expansion Begun.

Recent figures indicate the Federal
Reserve Is gcing in for credit expan-
sion in big way, but don't be toe
sure.
Out of the sa5. 900 900 of Government
bonds it purchased last week, $4,000,
900 were bought by the Chicago banks
The inside explanation was that 1t
was necessary to care for a Detroit
situation.
Also. the recent Treasury financing
was overbought by some Government
bond dealers in New York. They start
ed unloading portions of their allot-
ments before they received the bonds.
The current reserve bank buying was
partially designed to help them over a
rough spot.
This method OF credit expansion
failed so dismally under HOOUer
that the board is feeling its WGy
cautiously 1t 1piH not commit itself
publicly or privately on future p,tr-
chaSeS.
The chances for success are better
now. The banks already are liquid.
Flooding them with more money may
induce them to loosen up on CONNER
cial loans. Especially If the banks
have any confidence in immediate
business prospects.
The board denies its activities are
connected in any way with Gen. john
sons promise of more commercial credit
for business. It likes to believe the
Government has no influence over 1t.
The truth is the Government runs
it whenever it wants to.

The trick was clear The Wall
Streeter merely was trading on his
friendship with the official to start
market rumors, about what was going
up and down He made every caller
believe he had pipeline TO Washing

The Government onicial was entire
ly innocent.
Probably no prosecution will be un-
dertaken. The truth would be hard to
prove. Nobody bit but the suckers.
N. r. A. to Avoid Boycott.
The simple word boycott is causing
the N. R. A. more inner trouble than
any of the remaining codes.
Every time Gen. johnson uses 1t the
complaints start pouring in. A large
group opposes the theory OF stirring up
wartime Stacker campaign against
non conforming stores. 1t might lead
to violence.
But the boycott threat Is Johnson's
only weapon. If he fails to use it, his
drive will lose its force.
That Is why you have seen so many
on again-off-a again statements from the
N. r. A. on the subject. Gen. Johnson
was for the boycott In one section OF
his st. Louis speech and against it In
another section.
The result probably Uill be that
you uiH hear lot OF unofficial
chatter about boycotts during the
N. r. A. enlistment driDe beginning
today 1t 1pill be SOFT pedaled so as
not to encourage Diolence.
After the drive is over the whole

ment cannot afford to conduct boy

Meanwhile. Senator Henry Cheron,
former finance minister, asked for full
powers" for the government to put its
affairs In order 50 as to avoid the
necessity Of imitation.
Many financiers privately predict
that France may be forced to devalor-
ize to revive business. although the
treasury and the Bank of France in
sist France Is firmly on gold.
Dollars Drop Revives Fears
This fear has been revived by the
downward slide Of the dollar and the
pound and concern over possible none
tary developments in the United States
Deputy Adrien Marquet echoed the
same warning at Socialist manifesto
tion at Angouleme. He asserted the
democratic form Of government was
imperiled and concluded: France must
not know devalorization"
Premier Daladier will thus be caught
between the vital need Of reducing ex-
penses and danger Of overthrow when
he asks Parliament to reduce salaries Of
government functionarieS as the prin-
cipal available source Of economy.
