WHEAT FARMERS WILL CUT ACREAGE Sellers” Strike in Kansas Also Used as Weapon to Raise Prices. BY W. A. COCHEL. Bpectal Dispatch to The Star. KANSAS CITY, Mo, July 30.—A canvass mede by the Weekly K:nsas City Star in 20 of the bigger wheat | counti>s of Kansas shows there will be a reduction of 15 t) 20 per cent in acreage in next year's crop. There is a possi- bility of a still greater reduction if there is no recovery of prices before seeding time. The seme canvass showed 65 t> 70 | pe, et of the present crop is being | eld on farms or placed in storage. | A large number of growers have sold | their wheat for cash and bought fu- tures, believing wheat is selling s> low that a recovery in the market will be ecorded befcre settlements are made. Only one county reporied no acreag> | reduction. That was Greeley, which raised 975,000 bushels this year and is holding back 40 per cen: of that crop. No county repcrted an incraase in | od 200.896,000 bushels of wheat, according to the July report of the State Depariment of Ag- riculture. That was 20,000,000 bushels more than the State ever bzfore pro- | duced and was cn a total cf 12,500,000 acres. ‘The Kansas crop in 1930 was 166, 185,000 bushels cn 11,735,000 acres. Start Sellers’ Strike. The wheat growers nave started a | sellers’ strike. With tue greatest crop ever produced in the Southwest, receipts are dwindling on the central markets. ‘The movement has not been retarded by rain, lack cf freight cars, congasticn at terminals nor absence of m-rket facili- ties. Everyth'nz excep: the price is set_for rapid and exp>ditious movement. Millers’ stocks are low, bakeries are operating on a hand-tc-mouth basis, | fcreign countries are cn a war bread | Easis. The wheat grower is disgustzd when he is compelled to accept 25 cents a bushel at country points, aft>r paying | 6 cents a bushel for delivery. He thinks | | seriously when he discovers how litile | he can get in exchange for his crop. He feels certain that the exchange value of wheat will be increased materially | before another crop is harvested. The wheat farmer is expressing his feeling in several effective ways. He refuses to sell his product except that portion required to mee: most pressing obllzuuons. He has decided t> reduce is acreage from 15 to 20 per cent th's year, to convert as much as possible into milk, meat, dairy and poultry products and to reduce c-sts of produc- tion on the remining acr:s. Additional Cuts Possible. Several county agents indicated that the acreage reduction might be mate- rially greater than present intentions of growers. An absence cf rain between now and seeding time would add to the idle acres. If the new crops in the E-stern counties are burned out by hot winds, soil conditions w-uld be ideal for gexding. This might result in a slight increase in such communities over pres- ent intentions. In some of the South- western countles it is indicated that breaking out s°d may overcome reduc- tions in olde1 cultivated areas. A cecided modification in methods of g0 preparation is very evident. The proven practice of turning under stub- le in July is being set aside. The stubbl> is burned and will be fcllowed by d'sking the 1:nd just before seeding. ‘ih's is an eTort to eliminate cost of plowing, taking a chance on possible re- qucticns in yleld through failure to ¢“n- gerve moisture. This eflort to cut down production end to reduce cost cf production is sup- plemented by a determination to make extensive use of wheat for feeding pur- o It is a voluntary movement from the grass rocts to eliminate the wheat sur- plus. It is not the result of any effort irom outside sources to influence farm practices. It represents the combined judgment of wheat growers to help themselves.
