POTATO GROWERS MUST
APPLY FOR ACREAGE
Continued from first page)

Growers planning to plant less
than three acres of potatoes will
not be required to apply for an
acreage allotment, but in order that
they may be eligible to participate
in the price support program it will
be necessary for them to list their
desire to be eligible with their
county ACP office. This must be
done by July |.
The reason for the potato acre
age goals this year, according to
Ocheltree, is to insure production
according to need and prevent the
production of surplus. Principal
emphasis will be placed on mea-
sures to assure fullest price sup
port benefit to growers who have
complied with acreage goals for
their farms.
