CROP CURB PROGRAM
WINS NEW SIGNERS
Wallace Puzzled by Increase in
Number of Farmers Indors
ing Plan.
By the Aiioeleted Presi.
Secretary Wallace was nonplussed
today by reports from his regional
directors of a large Increase In the
number of farmers ready to partici
pate In the soil-conservation crop
control plan over those who a year
ago signed A. A. A. contracts.
Wallace told his press conference
yesterday that the directors esti
mated participation by 4.500,000 to
5,000,000 farmers, compared with
j 3,000,000 to 3,500,000 a year ago.
1 The Secretary said, however, he
—————n—nn—TTmTrinTi
believed his assistants “were overoptl.
mlstlc.” He said his own estimate '
would be about 500,000 less.
He added il the preliminary re
ports were accurate and the weather
[conditions normal, production of all
major cash crope except corn should
be about the same in 1936 as In
1935, when production control, out
lawed by the Supreme Court, was In
effect.
The soil conservation program
should have a much greater appeal
than the A. A. A., particularly in
the Eastern States, Wallace said, but i
he added that he could not under- *■
stand the large increase in partici- \
palion as indicated by the survey.

It DOES make a difference WHERE
Furniture is made—HOW it is made
Surface tells little of the real value in a piece of furniture. It is
the interior construction that is the basis of value. Parts that you
cannot see; hidden details of which, perhaps, you do not give a
thought. Yet it is upon them that quality depends; that reputa
tion is won and maintained.
Our Company of Mastercraftsmen design and make after very
precise and insistent specifications. By every measure and com
parison, no better furniture can be made—and there is a very
definite economic advantage in our maker-retailer service—that
affects prices through the elimination of multiple profits—a saving
we share with our customers. Always high grade; never high
priced is a fact—and for a very definite reason.
