AAAASKSTSPLT WHEAT TN 195 New Contract to Be Offered to Farmers Within Two or Three Weeks. By the Associated Press. The A. A. A. announced today that & 15 per cent reduction in wheat acre- age in 1936 will be required of farmers who sign contracts to adjust produc- tion. At the same time Chester C. Davis, farm administrator, told farmers that if the Supreme Court should rule out the A. A. A. program the Government would pay them for their “compliance” up to the “date of such a decision.” Making public details of the new four-year wheat contracts, Davis said: “Even if an adverse decision by the Supreme Court should materialize at some future time, the contract in its present form is admirably devised to protect both the farmers and the Government.” Covers Crop Years 1936-1939. The new contract, to be offered to farmers probably within two or three | weeks, will cover the crop years 1936- | 1939 inclusive. It will be subject to | termination at the end of any market- | ing year by the Secretary of Agricul- | ture and any grower will be given the option of withdrawal at the end of the | first two-year period. | Davis urged farmers to sign as soon as the contracts are completed. He called attention to the pending A. A.| A. amendments, which he said should make certain constitutionality of the farm program. In case of invalidation by the high court, he said, “the Government would have both a moral and a legal obli- gation to compensate farmers- fully for performance up to the date of such a decision.” “The Government, in fairness and Fonesty, would pay, and legally would be bound to pay in full for their com- pliance up to that time, but not be- yond that time,” he added. The A. A. A, officials said, will seek to place from 50,000,000 to 53,000,000 acres of wheat land in the Nation under contract. In 1933 approxi- mately 51,000,000 acres were placed under contract, and a 15 per cent acreage reduction was required for 1934. The contract covered 1935, when a 10 per cent reduction was re- quired. 85 Per Cent Planting Basis. Under the new contracts, farmers eannot plant more than 85 per cent of the base acreage (1930-32 average), nor less than 54 per cent of the base acreage for 1936. The contracts will provide for acreage adjustment to a maximum of 25 per cent in subse- quent years. It is expected that the contracts also will provide specific plans to use the contracted land for soil-improving and erosion-preventing crops, while some may be returned permanently to @rass or tree crops. . Two principal differences betwéen #he new contract and that signed in 1933 were reported as follows: A more specific provision for ad- ijustment payments based on actual average farm prices of wheat during the marketing year. Maximum reduction from the total base acreage of 25 per cent instead of 20. -l Court Attacks Triple. ; Court attacks on the A. A. A. have tripled since a Boston court held the Processing tax system unconstitutional $wo weeks ago. ;. From an aggregate of 200 suits filed when the Hoosac Mills decision was handed down by a Federal Cir- ‘eult Court in Boston, the Justice De- partment revealed yesterday the total of suits against A. A. A. had jumped 598. A flank attack of 17 Chicago pack- fers, who filed injunction suits Mon- #day, will be met by special Government +action in the Chicago courts, the de- Ppartment disclosed. If a 10-day re- Sstraining order is granted by the feourt today, a Government tax lawyer gwill go from Washington to help Chi- scago Federal attorneys defend the winjunction suits.

First of all, “AIR-CONDITIONED” American Gas is a 100% Pure Petroleum Base. Our new refinery with its new processes is able to develop from the raw crudes a regular gasoline with more net energy per gallon and more other desirable qualities than ever before possible. No acid is used in our refining operations. Most other gasolines are acid-treated. Acid-treatinig injures anti-knock quality and also leaves traces of acidic compounds in the gasoline. Further, it hasn’t been necessary to add any of the chemicals used in most regular gasolines. The result is a new type of gasoline that offers you things no other regular gas can offer. Here they are: b “AIR-CONDITIONED": Conditioned at refinery to counteract erratic engine tendencies caused by outside temperature and humidity changes. This guarantees uniform and efficient motor performance in any weather. CLEAN BURNING: 100% Pure Petroleum Base—No Added Chemicals—100% clean burning—no harmful deposits. GREATER NETPOWER: “Air-conditioned” gasoline plus clean burning guarantee superior performance. Hence, GREATER NET POWER. HIGHER ANTI-KNOCK: By new processes—without acid treatment —in the world’s most modern refinery, we obtain naturally from 100% Pure Petroleum Base a higher anti-knock value than other regular gasolines get artificially by the addition of chemicals to bring up anti-knock alone. MORE MILES: Greater net power and higher anti-knock rating net more miles to the gallon than any other regular gasoline. thence down to the Potomac River, stands in the way of the foundations for the new Interior Building.
