C., May 2.— Unless bad weather or some other factor interferes with the farmers’ intention to plant, the crop acreage in 1930 will be about 2 per cent than last year's. estimate, burcau of agricy does not include cotton. The fed- eral farm board is supporting a de- termined campaign to slice 6,000,000 cs off the usua] coiton acreage. As compared with year, reports from indicate a 3 per c in corn, 3% Iin GBts, in rice, 8 in graly s atoes, 8 in '3 bacco and 15 P& cen: presumably the, qy creage Will be reduceq 1 nd the peanut acreage » intended acreage o spring wheat other than durum is about’ the size of last year's. Farmers carried over ' into the new season a moderate stock of food and feed crops, which was en- couraging in itself, but agricultural economists are generally agreed on the risk involved by the declining conimodity markets of early spring and the feeling of economic uncer- tainty. Secretary Hyde warns that pro- duction already is running ahead of world requirements. George E. Roberts, vice president of the National City Bank of New York, says that an attempt to maintain the same population on the farms will mean an increasing . | surplus of products accompanied by falling prices. mdwmmm he says, has resulted in fewer per- sons being needed on farms.
