Wheat Growers Oppose
Sale of Allotments
Opposition to a proposal to
)ermit transfer or sale of
wheat allotments was voiced
by the Executive Board of the
Kansas Association of Wheat
Growers meeting May 6 at
Dodge City. The proposal, sent
to Congress by the U. S. [)e~
partment of Agriculture, is in
the hands of the agriculture
committees of the House and
Senate.
"Kansas Wheat Growers are
opposed to this proposal be-
cause we believe that it would
encourage an invasion of agri-
culture by non-farm capital
lind big corporation farming,
which would be detrimental to
the interests of commodity-
producing farm families," says
George W. Meeker of Garden
City, president of KAWG.
"An allotment could lose its
value if farm programs were
changed," he said. "and pur-
chasers might find they had
bought a pig in a poke."
Meeker added, "We do not
wish to see alhltments handled
like common property with the
possibilities of hiss or litigation!
in which case the persons to~
suffer would be the produe-
ers."
The Wheat Grower spokes-
man said that transfer of allot-
ments could change land val
ues, and that this could create i
critical state-wide problems in
evaluation, assessment, and
taxation of farm land.
"Confusion and adverse ef-
fects from transfer or sale of
wheat allotments." Meeker
said, "could affect consumers
of food and fiber from Ameri-
can farms, and consequently
would not be in the public in-
terest."
The Executive Board in-
structed Meeker to present
their objections to the proposal

and Feed Grains Advisory
Committee which will be held
in Washington, D. C., May 15
