As a result of this check- up the estimates for these years have been revised upward an average of 3.2 per cent.” For 1929 the revised figure was giv- en as 44,971,000 acres, as compared with previous estimate of 43,562,000 acres; 1930 revised 45,240,000 compar. ed with 43,520,000; 1931 revised 42,- 348,000 compared with 40,420,000 and 1932 revised 42,692,000 compared with 39,902,000. 41,002,000 Acres Seeded ‘The area seeded this fall, estimated on the basis of these revised figures, was placed at 41,002,000 acres, or 4 per cent less than last year’s revised estimate and 7.2 per cent less than the revised estimate of average acre- age seeded 1929-1931, which was 44,- 186,000 acres. “The reduction in seeded acreage is about one-half the reduction required of farmers in making applications for wheat allotments,” the board said. “The reductions from base acreage jwere largest in the states where the proportion of farmers signing wheat applications was largest.

Editor, Tribune: An article by John Brendel on Rus- sla under date of December 1 in The Tribune states that 99 per cent of the People would have left Russia when he did if they could. Does he mean to tell me that one per cent of the People can hold the other 99 per cent ‘down? It must be remembered that 18,000,000 soldiers were trained in the ‘profession of arms in Russia during the World War and why would such an army allow a few people to rule if they were opposed to the rulers? This looks absurd on the face of it. ‘Will he give me the name of a single person who has starved to ‘death in Russia since 1925? So many |stories, without proof, have been a big factor in people believing that those opposed to the Soviet are the ones who upheld that monstrosity, |the Czar’s government.
