Farmer Referendum
On Corn Plan Urged

Washington, Sept. 11.-(R-Farm
leaders have urged the Agricultural
Adjustment Administration to submit
to a referendum vote among mid
western farmers a proposal which
would call for q 1885 corn control plan
designed to take 100000 to 10000. 900
acres out Of production.
This year l2,656,000 acres were
rented to the secretary Of agriculture,
the owners receiving benefit payments
in return. The 1885 plan, as suggested
b. farm leaders, would cost upwards
Of 500 ,0o0, 900 and would be financed
through continuation Of a processing
tax on corn and ! smaller tax on
hogs, although no attempt would be
made to limit hog numbers as was
done this year.
AAA officials will hold series Of
regional meetings through the mid
western states this week, and this
suggested program and others will be
discussed. The adjustment admins
tyation said that after thorough dis
cussion these alternative proposals will
be presented In more concrete form
