AAA'S WHEAT
CONTROL PLAN
is APPROVED
Bread Basket Area
Farmers Vote Okeh
OF 1886 Program By
Big Majority

A clear victory fer continuance Of
the AAA's wheat adjustment pro-
gram in 1886 was indicated on the
basis Of partial returns from Sat-
urday's referendum Of the nations
wheat farmers
The first f~ragmentary returns
from p OF the 81 states that fill the
nations bread basket showed a trend
Of around sever to n in favor Of
continuance.
Within a few hours after the polls
started to close in a westward sweep
ing wave the total stood 48,376 for
and 1920 against the program.
From the start the trend in favor
OF the AAA'S plan ranged between
six to one and ten to one. First re-
turns set the higher figure, with a
later slump. Whether the substan-
tlal margin would be retained when
the ballot count ranged up toward
the half million votes expected could
not be predicted.
In washington Agricultural Ad-
iustment Administration officials
watched closely for the first re-
turns, from the far west, where
Washington and Oregon rank nigh
IN production, to determine II the
early midwestern trend would hold
good there.
In the midwest 1t was noted early
that some Of the largest producing
states were running In a trend OF
more than ten to one. with the aver
age pulled down by some Of the
ST 7ller producers.
For instance in Kansas. where
roughly one fifth of the nations
wheat is produced. an early tabula-
ton showed 24.296 farmers voting
~yes' as compared with 2.672 noes .
At the same time. Oklahoma was
running lO.810 for and 1911 against:
and Nebraska 5911 for and l,747
against. Other states. however. show
ed a much lower percentage.
