R. j cotton far W'ashington, Aug. l b. — Believlmr that despite a reduction of 1.000.000 bales or more in this year'« cotton crop there is still too much of the staple on hand, the farm adjustment bureau prPbably will work out vithin a few weeks a new curtailment plan for next year. Secretary WalLace said loday that during his recent tour of the South he found growers anxious for such a cam- I paign and added that he expecte*! them to bring forward a plan soon. The .secretary of agriculture indicat ed the farm administration i.s in a re- mood for Rwh a plan. The census bureau reported today cotton mills continued high speed pro duction during .July, with consumption reported at 600.113 bales compared with 27H,.')6S for the corresponding: month last year. In an annual summary, the bureau also reported that stocks on hand -August 1, were 8,176.133, or ah*>ut 1,500,000 bales less than on the sarm* date last year. The total in P.»31 wa>s 6.:i«0,y93 Theoretically, the rarm administra tion sits back and awaits moves by the growers before deciding on any program affecting a farm commodity. Actually, it does much advance plan ning and frequently has a good idea of what it intends to do before the farmers’ plans arrive. Tyw inipcllinjf-'facforr caril n arriving at a permanent arrange- iment for cotton production control. I One is that the emergency plan for reducing this year’s crop still leaves^ an anticipated production of over 12.- 000,000 bales. Another is that any pro gram probably would be applied to the land iLself, and it would avoid compli- cation.H if a plan were drawn before land is rented or let out for share cropp’ng next year. Farm officials agree that the plan for cotton is pretty certain to be drawn along the lines of the Wheat program.
