Acreage Cut Wont Solve
Wheat Problem, Kline Says
By the Assoeinted Pres,

OKLAHOMA CITY, Nov. g.
Allan B. Kline, president of the
American Farm Bureau Fedora
tion, declared last night the TAX
ing of els or 20 million acres
out of production won't solve the
problem" of lower wheat prices.
Mr.. Kline, addressing the fed
eration's Oklahoma convention
here, said there has been "a
lot of misinformation recently in
connection with price supports.
1T has been implied that the
price of wheat for the last dozen
years had depended on price sup
ports, when actually it was the
result of war demand.
"The present situation, for the
first time in any significant de-
gree, is posing the real problem
involved in our price support
program" Mr.. Kline said.
After claiming a cut in wheat
acreage isn't the solution, Mr..
Kline added:
There is no substitute for
markets, or for effective produc-
ton adjusted to effective de-
mand."

for Portsmouth, but was knocked out
in the seventh and Brooks Lawrence
replaced him and got credit for the

singledg went to third on Guyton's
single, and then scored after the
catch when Myers flied out.

seventh and eighth, but after getting
the first man out in the ninth, the
roof fell in on him, when three
