U. S. Hopes to Cut
Supplies of Wheat
In Crop Reduction
By the Assoeiated Pres

A crop survey indicating q
sharp reduction in winter wheat
acreage for harvest next year
today raised Government hopes
of cutting surplus stocks Of this
grain.
The Agriculture Department
reported late yesterday that the
1857 winter wheat crop may be
Is per cent smaller than this
years below-normal crop.
A survey showed farmers had
planted about ia per cent fewer
acres to winter wheat than a
year ago.
The new crop was forecast
lat 624,953, 900 bushels compared
with 734.995, 900 this year. A
similar reduction in the spring
wheat crop-to be seeded next
spring-would give a total 1857
production Of about BAT million
bushels compared with 977 mil
lion this year.
officials expect domestic and
export markets to take around
$50 million bushels next year. To
meet such a demand, it would be
necessary to draw perhaps more
than 100 million bushels from
reserve and surplus stocks now
totaling slightly more than one
billion bushels.

merous complaints have been re-
ceived in the past few days from
nearby Virginia water consumers
He said the algae-microscopiC
plant life-are all removed from
the water, in the filtration process
but still '"impart an obnoxious
taste and odor."
This, Mr.. LaFrankie said, does
not affect in any way the waters
safety. THE water is tested
every two hours. "a hours a day.

The heavy algae growth, OBJ

The assistant manager SAID

of the water has been employed
to combat the condition. A heavy
