Wallace Laughs Off Charge
Of $500, 100000 Die
tatorship

MEMPHIS, Tenn. March Z.
CUP - Secretary Of Agriculture
Henry A. Wallace laughed off a
charge here last night that Con-
gress has made him a financial
dictator with 50O,000.000 box
of candy to distribute any way he
sees fit to farmers under the new
soil conservation program.
The secretary, satisfied 100 per
cent" with the way the farm con-
ference Of 500 leading farmers
here has progressed, boarded a
train early last night for Chica-
go, where today he will speak at
a similar conference-one of four
called to let the farmers them
selves help work out minute adj
ministrativc details.
He revealed, for the first time,
that approximately $4,000, 900
acres of land would be shifted
from soil-depleting to soil-con-
serving crops in the south and APP
proximately 100000 would be
shifted in the midwest.
More than 100000 of the
100000 in the south will be
taken out of cotton cultivation,
thus leaving about 100000 to
be taken out of other cash soil
depicting crops-including rice,
sugar cane, peanuts, corn, wheat
and tobacco-Wallace said.
As for cotton, this means about
$IIO,OOO,00O for southern farm
ers, based on tentative plans to
pay FIVE cents per pound on cot
ton normally grown on the lano
that will be taken out of the
staple. 1t has been estimated that
the normal yield per acre on such
land has been about 1876 line
pounds-which makes close to
SO per acre bentfits.
The new soil conservation pro-
gram calls for shifting of Il to-
tai of 10000, 900 acres from soil
depicting to soil-conserving crops
during 1886. Wallace said there
are about 35,000,000 acres u
corn, cotton and wheat alone II
the United States that should be
grass and trees" Of this amount
he estimated 100000 normally
was planted in cotton.

1886 CROP PRICES
NEAR 1929 LEVELS
Only Is Percent Under
That Year, and rs Per-
cent Above 1885

Washington, Dec. 31-Prices receiv-
ed by farmers for their principal
crops produced in 1896 averaged 26
percent higher than for the 1885 crops
and came within Is percent of the
1929 level according to preliminary
estimates released by the Bureau of
Agricultural Economics today.
The sharp increase in 1896 crop
prices reflects a generally improved
demand situation as we'll as smaller
supplies, the Bureau stated. Some of
the food and feed crops sharply re-
duced by the drought brought unus-
ually high prices, and these increases
helped to raise prices of rice cotton
seed and number of other Compel
ing foods and feeds of which there is
more nearly normal supply.
Although the total production of
feed grains is not nearly so short as
in the other drought year of 1884, the
price of corn is about one-fifth higher
rejecting slightly smaller supplies of
corn and the generally higher prices
of livestock.
Improved demand has helped to
maintain cotton prices at a figure
slightly above last years level.
Percentage increases in 1886 crop
prices over those Of a year earlier
were reported by the Bureau as fol-
lows: Seeds So percent, hay 49, grains
SO, fruits IA, cotton and cottonseed
II, and sugar crops 4 percent. These
upturns raised the level g prices OF
