CO! farm Leaders Cheered by Reduction in Cotton Planting Washington VP) Administration farm leaders, cheered by a 22 per cent reduction in cotton planting, turned their attention today to the midwestern corn and wheat belts. The Agriculture department has asked corn growers to reduce operations in view of prospects for a larger than normal surplus. It will learn Monday from, the Federal Crop Reporting board forecast whether they are cooperating as fully as cotton formers. Private authorities have forecast corn production oi about bushels. Officials had hoped to keep this year's corn production below 2,450.000,000 bushels to avoid marketing quotas.

Under the quota system, requiring approval by two-thirds of the growers, farmers would store a part of their crop under seal or pay a penalty tax. Monday's report also will give the department its most accurate estimate to date on the size of this year's wheat crop. Last month's estimate forecast the largest crop on record 1,045,000,000 bushels, or about 495.000,000 bushels more than normally is required for domestic and export needs. If the report indicates a wheat crop as large as 950,000.000 bushels, the department will ask wheat growers to plant no more than acres next year, compared with 79,500,000 seeded for the current crop. The department has received information that many wheat growers, particularly those in the spring wheat region, oppose such a sharp reduction.

The cotton planting report for July 1, announced yesterday estimated that 26,904,000 acres were under cultivation, compared with acres last year. It was the smallest cotton acreage since 1900, and indicated, the report said, that production would be about 8,000,000 bales below the record total of 18,945,000 bales in 1937.

Mr. Harris said that most school buildings are now being constructed through PWA and the grounds being landscaped through WPA.

He offered his services in drawing landscaping plans after consultation with the building architect, supervising the work, taking bids, preparing WPA propects, and all other work connected with the landscaping. The board took no action last night.

Fox asserted that with regard to "some threats which have been made relating to 'reading out of the Democratic party any person identified with coalition, and re fusing to seat such an individual as a delegate'," it was his belief such action would be "undemocra tic, unkind and unnecessary.

"There is no doubt," King asserted, "that some large corporations have bought up patents that they have never used and had no intention of using at the time they were purchased.
