CORN ALL0TMENTS - Any
producer who intends to plant corn
in 1857 on a farm where no corn
was planted during the years 1854,
1855, or 1856 must apply for corn
acreage allotment if he wants price
support on his farm in 1857, Joseph
w. Ennis, chairman of the Kent
County Agricultural Sterilization
and Conservation Committee, said
today.
Marketing quotas do not apply
to corn, the. chairman explained.
However, under the acreage allot-
ment program, the production OF
corn in 1857 on a farm which has
no corn acreage allotment would
make all the corn produced on such
farm ineligible for price support
in 1857.
Application forms for a corn
acreage allotment are available at
the Kent County ASC Office. Janu-
ary 81. 1857, is the last day such
appIications may be filed. Farmers
are further advised that no allot-
ment established for a new corn
fa~r1 in 1857 will be eligible for the
Acreage Reserve program.

When a reporter asked the
President about this at a news

said with an unusual show Of
irritation:
well. I don't think much Of
the question because no helicop-

Following that exchange,
