that AAA restrictions on all crops

This county may not only be or
dered to abide by sugar beet acreage
restrictions, but actually may be
called upon to reduce its acreage
from last years 5000 to 5000, Adams
said. The reason. he added, lies in
Imperial Valleys fall planting while
sugar beets in other sections of the
country are planted during other
seasons. He could discover no other
reason he said.
Wickard specifically mentioned
sugar beets during his visit to Salt
