Wheat acreage cut is the biggest
single factor in stepped mp output
of feed grains, an analysis of the
figures shows. Study of the Stats
tics also leads officials to conclude
that ranchers and farmers, forced
to cut back in one crop, usually will
plant another uncontrolled cash crop
rather than take land out OF pro-
duction.
Reduction in wheat acreage for har-
vest in 1855 was 20.3 million acres under
the average planted in the years 1944-53.
Acreage of oats, barley and sorghum
in 1855 is 1878 million acres more than
during 1944-55. Soybean acreage has
gone up about GA million acres while
corn has been reduced almost million.
Such figures are causing revived talk
in Washington of payments to growers
next year for keeping controlled acres
out of substitute crops. Cross-com-
pliance controls - tied UP with an in
centive plan may turn out to be the
final choice. Under cross ompliance
support loans would be withheld from
farmers who put diverted acres into
substitute crops.

The cattle picture looks pretty
fair for operators who play it close,

Inn Washington. Feeding margins
will be slim. But lots of cheap feed
should keep profits for feeders at

Consumer income keeps going up. In

TOURISTS sTEERED
ELSEWHERE

There is a practice being
developed among foreign
steamship lines bringing Anne
rican passengers to the Carib-
bean to spiral the attention OF
their charges to the island
owned by the nation under
which flag the ship is regis
tered. This has resulted in the
Dutch Line, the French Lines,
and British Lines urging tour
lists to wait until they reach
other than American ports be
fore buying.
The first tourist liner to

showed considerably that this
practice is becoming well es-
tablished and is doing consider
able harm to American is
lands as we'll as to American
tourists. It was made known
by certain passengers aboard
this liner that they were told
not to make purchases here
and not to risk the drinking
of water and other things in
this est. Thomas) port.
Businessmen who spent
thousands of dollars prepar-
ing folders brochures & cards
have since learned that for
the most part they were new

gers and in many cases only

those which met the favor Of
cruise directors were given
out. Many persons were sur
prised after coming to town
to find out about the splend-
did shopping opportunities
that the island affords, the
many enjoyable hours of en-
tertainment that can be had
between the hours that the
ship is docked lin st. Thomas)
and the time she sails and the
hospitality of the people.
These were the ones who
wanted to see for themselves.
We are afraid, however, that
many tourists are scared into
staying aboard ship from the
propaganda that is being
spread.
This is a situation that de-
mands the immediate atten-
ton of the officials in charge
of the tourist promotion pro-
gram. We realize that islands
to the south of us are in open
competition for the major por
ton of the tourist trade but
there should be a measure of
ethics exercised in the man
ner in which this solicitation
is done.
If this practice continues to.
the detriment Of the Ameri-
can islands then it may be ne
cessary for it to be brought
to the attention of the Con-
gress of the United States so
that the proper investigation
could be initiated and the
guilty ones brought to justice.

rendered to q woman, a young Bel
gian farmer says.
In fact, he adds, any man who
marries before rs in Belgium might
be laughed at.
Camille Schouppe, 29-year-old
bachelor, also says American girls
seem prettier than Belgian lasses,
but in a false and painted way
Schouppe, studying farms here
as a farm youth exchange student,
says he's delighted with American
foOd-all but the bread which he
describes as nothing more than
puff" He says a loaf of Belgian
bread weighs about three pounds.
The great part Of the diet in
Belgium, he says, is bread and po-
tatoes. And on Belgian farms, the
favorite drink is beer. However,
he adds, beer is consumed as a re-
freshment, not an intoxicant. He
says there are stiff fines for Bel
CLANS who can't handle the stuff.
He says the average farm in Bel
gium is 4.4 acres, which makes
many American farms seem veal
