Planting Increase Seen
Cotton growers under voluntary
agreement will be permitted to
plant at least 6,000.000 acres more
than in 1934.
Wheat growers under contract
may expand plantings by about
2,500,000 acres.
Corn-hog producers probably will
be permitted by their voluntary
contracts to make a moderate in
crease in hogs, and perhaps plant
2,000,000 more acres of corn.
There may be an increase in
acreage of such types of tobacco
as fine cured.
Cotton growers planted only 28,
000,000 acres this year, compared
with an average of 40,000.000 acres
from 1928 to 1932. Contract sign
