They would be directed by radio
to locations where ice or snow

FARM PROGRAM
JEOP PARDIzED BY
SURPLUS CROPS
Wallace Speeds Plans
To Raise Incomes

Q.N.S) Faced with huge crop
SurpluSes that jeopardize the Ad-
ministration's farm program, Sec
retary of Agriculture Wallace to-
day intensified efforts to initiate
his revised policy to increase rural
income and outlets for farm
products.
Wallace called for speedy tnltia-
ton of the revised program, in
view of the latest general crop re-
port, which indicated to Depart
ment officials that acreage reStric-
ton under the 1888 Farm Act has
failed to keep production within
desired limits.
Failure Of production control to
reduce yields has flooded markets
with an abundance Of crops, which
have driven prices downward and
curtailed the effect of crop con-
troll subsidies to substantiate farm
income, Department officials said.
SPEEDS UP PROGRAM
With the low.income situation
creating a growing demand for
abolition of crop control and suo-
stitution of price-fixing, through
domestic allotment, Wallace hiss
centered his attention on speed
ing up the revised program.
Although still in the embroyo
stage Wallace'S shift IN policy
centers on a program to SubSidize
food and cotton professors with
Federal funds, to make available
products at lower cost to the great
bulk of low and medium income
groups.
It includes also revision Of the
processing tax, outlawed by the
Supreme Court, to guarantee .
higher income to the farmer par
ticipating in production control
programs, and increased distribu-
tion Of farm products to persons
On relief.
COMMITTEE NAMED
Wallace was represented as con-
centrating on increased domestic
rather than export subsidies to off
set the demands OF cotton and
wheat farmers, for removal Of pro-
duction restrictions and Substitu-
ton of domestic allotments, where
by prices would be fixed for pro-
ducts sold on the domestic market,
with the Government exporting
the surplus at whatever price avail
able.
A special committee has been
appointed to study Wallace's pro
poSal that domestic consumption
be increased, to raise the living
standard Of the American farmer.
He has indicated he would like to
initiate the program by subsidizing
the cotton textile industry to pro
duce products for sale in the low
income groups at prices below
those received on the regular
markets.

Purchasing Of Options
Expiring in Middle
OF 1889 Helps
BY FRANKLIN MULLIN,
Associated Press Financial Writer.

CHICAGO, Nov. 26.-Orderly SELL
ing by traders not wishing to take
actual wheat on December contracts
which become deliverable next
week caused the price to dip "
cent today to 81, lowest since 1882,
but purchasing of options expiring
the middle of 1899 steadied the
market.
The bulk of trading represented
switching of positions from Decem-
ber to more deferred delivery
months. The Ea-cent dip in De-
cember wheat occurred early in the
session and was wiped out just be-
fore the close when selling subsided.
Elevator interests were understood
to be taking December wheat at
3l2 to cents discount under the
price of May and July wheat.

month of steadily rising quotations.
Concessions were small, however, and
turnover declined with prices.
Weakness was evident in every
major staple group except livestock,
which breasted the receding tide

18 declines and only five gamers,

home construction, which has scared

Grains OFF Fractions.
Grains suffered fractional losses.
Corn, wheat and rye dipped, while
