1913 WHEAT
ACREAGE IS
same AS 4
Valley Allotment Is Fixed by
Government at Total of
192,045 Acres.
May Be Some Change in Single
Farms Because of New
Operators.

The 1943 wheat acreage allot-
ment for Valley county is 49,, 045
acres which is the same as last
year. However, there may be some
change in individual allotments
because of new farms coming into
the program with a wheat history
which require a wheat acreage al
lotment, Thomas A. Wagner, coun-
ty AAA chairman, announces.
This acreage is Valley ccunty's
share of the $685. l5 acres allot-
ted Montana wheatgrowers for
1913. Farm operators soon will re-
ceive notices CT individual allot-
mentS.
With supplies of wheat already
o~vertaxing storage facilities, and
with continuing or expanding need
for war crops in 1943, it is de-
sirable that farmers underplant
1943 wheat allotments as much as
practicable and reserve this extra
acreage for such crops as can be
grown satisfactorily, Mr.. Wagner
commented. War crops include soy
beans, flax seed, dry beans, sugar
beetS and others to be named lat
er. Price support programs will be
developed, wherever necessary, to
support prices Of wal crops, he said.
Wheat farmers who u%nderplant
heir 1943 wheat acreage allot-
nents in order to increase acreage
wal crops will not suffer deduc-
ions from 1943 Triple-A payments.
Tor will their wheat acreage allot-
nents be reduced in future years
because of such a diversion in 1943.
From present indications it is
lmost certain that substantial in
over last years goals will
made for 1913. Voluntary reduc-
