Holmes Farmers Nav
Request Review OF
Acreage AIIotments

'SAy AoiAlSi III iAOlIlieS IOunLy
for which a 1850 farm cotton
acreage allotment has been es-
tablished may request review of
his allotment, Mr.. Trotman,
county Production and Marketing
Administration, County Admin
strative Officer said this week.
Application tor the review are
filed at the county PIMA office in
basement of the Post Office and
must be supported by factual
evidence in writing, Mr.. Trotman
explains. The review will be
made by a special review commit
tee of farmers who are not men,
bers of the county PIMA commit
tee that established the original
allotment.
MIR. Trotman also points out
| that those growers who apply for
adjustment of their 1850 cotton
allotments to the minimum pro-
vided by new legislation passed
recently by the Congress, will
have the usual 15-day period af-
ter the notice of revised allot-
, nlent is mailed to them from the
county PIMA office in which to
/, file an appeal
! He explains that the authority
Of both the county PIMA commit
tee and the special review COM
mittee to make adjustments in
, farm allotments is limited to
cases where it can be proved
that the allotment was not es-
tablished according to applicable
ment of Agriculture under the
law.
In other words" Mr.. Trotman
, says, "the fact that a farmer
wants larger allotment than the
law or regulations provides is not
a sufficient basis for sending a
case to the review committee. j."
The authority to grant reviews
OF 1850 farm cotton acreage allot-
ments, even though appeals
were not filed with the statutory
: 15-day period afr the original
, allotment notices were made to
growers last fall, is contained in
the new law, says Mr.. Trotman.
He explains that the minimum
farm allotments for 1850 provided
IN the new legislation are based
on cotton planting history in the
years, 1916, 1947, and 1948. But
past planting history on the farm
was only a limiting factor in
setting many of the original al
lotments for 1850, determined ac-
cording to Public Law 272, pass
ed by the Congress last fall.
Because of this, we know that
some of the farmers, who were
rot satisfied with the production
history established for their farms
by the county PIMA committee,
failed to file appeals when they
/ received their originanl allot-
ment notices last fall.
Mr.. Trotman is also calling cot
ton growers attention to the fact
that APRIL % is the last day
on which applications for adjust
ment of farm allotments to the
new statutory minimum can be
accepted in the county PIMA Of
flee. The applications must be in
writing and special forms, avail
able at the office, are provided
! for the purpose.
Farmers that file their review
, direct with the review committee
must do so not later than April
Is, 1850.
We urge all farmers that will
not use their 1850 cotton acreage
allotment to 60 to the. PIMA Of
flee and release this acreage to
the county committee.
