Under the AAA some 300 parties
farming on large scale received
over $4,000 each for reducing acre
ages. Critics of the plan Suggest
that such payments be limited to
small farms, and large operators be
not allowed to participate. The OBJ
stacle is that large operators have
more to do with creating the sur
pluses than the small operators, and
If they are cut out of the plan OF
acreage reductions, production re-
auctions will be difficult. It is also
true that large wheat producers pro-
duce wheat for great deal less per
bushel than small farm owners, and,
if they do not share in the reduction
program, will, because of large acre
age and large production benefit
through the increased prices caus-
ed by the acreage reduction on the
small farms. It is not as simple as it
now seems. It may be better to have
them in the plan, even though their
benefits are high, than to have them
produce as usual and reap the ben
efits of increased prices and a full
crop.

The chain store bill which has

ern the amount of discounts whole
salers and manufacturers may give
large purchasers The theory is
that large chain organizations by
buying in large amounts receive so
much larger discounts from their
purchases than the smaller buyers
receive that the smaller buyers are
unable to compete with them. Those
opposed to the law claim that the
chains will get around the law by
owning their own manufacturing
plants.
