Farm Allotments

Farm Allotments
Farm allotments in acres will
be made on the following basis:
Two per cent Of the tots! al
lotment will be allocated to coun-
ties for use in allotting acres
to farms that have not grown cot
ton in either Of the past three
years. These allotments to the in
dividual producer by the COM
munity comslittees will be govern
ed by the proportionate share Of
the county allotment for such pur
poses on a per centage basis OF the
cultivated land. This may mean
in actual practice that a sufficient
acreage will be available to care
for all new land coming into cot
TON production on the same basis
| as the regular cotton farms, or it
may mean a much smaller percen-
tage, depending upon the total
number OF new acreages for allot-
ment. In other words, out of a
fixed county allotment, all Of the
new land will receive its proper
Tomato share. and this may mean
little or much.
Out of the county allotment the
small producers who have a five
acre cotton base or less under the
old program, are given a farm
allotment on the following basis.
The allotted acres to be planted in
cotton by these small producers
will be the greatest number OF
acres planted to cotton plus the
diversified acres: to illustrate:
Bill Jones had 5 acres as a base
and planted 3 acres. diverting 2,
will now be allowed to plant 5
acres in cotton. Sam Jones. who
had a s acre base did not plant
more than 2 acres ct cotton In any
one of the three past years, di-
verting only 2 acres (which is the
most the government would recog-
nize as being diverted. Then
Sam Jones could not plant more
than 4 acres Of cotton in 1888 and
receive payment.
Producers in Holmes county
with more than a 5 acre cotton
base will be given a1p allotment
based on the titled acres in the
farm. provided the greatest mum
Der of acres planted and diverted
in any n of the past three years
is equal to the county percentage.
Otherwise he would be allotted
the actual acres planted plus the
acres diverted.
Since the small producers must
be cared for out of the county al
lotment and the secretary Of ag-
rlculture has not ruled upon the
meaning of titled acre such as
idle land or land used in rotation
with lespedeza, and the number Of
acres worked by non signers in
1887 not being known, it is i'm
possible to arrive at the exact per-
centage for allotment. This will
be determined after the informa-
ton is available.
Payments to tenants will be de-
vided upon the same basis as the
crop is divided and these pay
ments may be pledged to the land
lord for 1898 supplies. Payments
will be made for acreage planted

bly, be about the same as in 1897.
