lette amendment to add 5000, ,000.-

way departments.
The other amendment gives juris-
diction over routine construction out

tion supporters had said It would in

officials expert the acreage planted
to wheat to expand as much as q
100000 acres as q result Of Secre-
tary Wallace's action in removing Ill
restrictions on sowing OF spring
wheat.
The action Of the AAA in remov-
ing restrictions followed quickly after
the years first crop report showing
that farmers intend to plant l7,s47,-
600 acres Of spring wheat Is COM
pared with 1881 900 acres in 1884.
Secretary Wallace said that while
wheat supplies had been reduced to
about normal. none Of the factors
which contributed to the 1888 sur
plus such as the loss Of foreign mar
kets had been removed. He said
that, consequently, the administration
was preparing to place in effect the
ever-normal granary plan. Any sur
plus would be stored on the farm un-
der government loans until the fol-
lowing crop year when q further re-
duction in acreage would be made to
