RELEASE COTTON c

If you + not going to plant
any or all of your cotton allot-
ment be sure that you go by
the County ASC office and re-
lease the acreage that you are
not going to plant. If you have
not planted cotton in the past
.Wo years it is necessary that
you plant at least l/l0th of an
acre this year and you may re-
lease the rest of your acres. II
you do not plant 1/10th of an
acre after having not planted
4nv cotton for the past two years
you will lose your cotton history
for 1862. In other words you
you would be out of cotton pro-
duction.
March 31st is the last day Of
releasing cotton acres. Do not
put off any longer. The economy
of Holmes County and the state
Of Mississippi largely depend on
our cotton allotment in the flu
lure.

Farm Facts


Besides being one of Amer
ica's largest and most impor-
tant industries itself, agricul-
ture supplies most of the raw
materials for other industries.
About II per cent of the
total working force is on
farms and farmers provide 81
per cent Of industry's raw
material.
Crops, livestock, poultry,
dairy products-these are a
few items flowing from farms
to industry to create jobs and
payrolls. Their transporta-
ton, marketing, processing,
manufacture, and distribu-
ton involve millions of
people.
Food marketing and proc
essing employ more than five
million people, and these in
dustries are almost wholly
dependent on agriculture.
Cotton, wool, and flax ac-
count for more than 70 per
cent of our fiber needs. More
than two million people are
employed in manufacturing
these fibers into textiles and
apparel.

bacco for the more than AGO

farm allotment base may
be protected by the opera
tor releasing as much as IS
per cent Of the farm allot-
ment provided the farm is
otherwise eligible for an
allotment as an old cotton
farm.
d. If the total of the
acreage actually planted
to cotton plus the allot-
ment released to the coun-
ty committee plus the
acreage, if any, regarded
as planted to cotton under
the Conservation Reserve
Program is as much as rs
per cent OF the 1861 farm
allotment.
question: Do released allot-
ments count as planted acre
age in meeting the rs per
cent requirement for pre-
serving the 1861 allotment
as the 1852 allotment base
for the farm?
Answer: Yes, released allot-
ments are regarded as plant
ed to cotton in determining
whether rs per cent of the
1861 allotment has been
planted or regarded as plant
ed for purposes of establish
ing the farm allotment base.
Question: If none of the 1861
farm allotment is planted,
regarded as planted under
the Conservation Reserve
Program for 1861, or releas-
ed to the county committee,
what will happen to the 1862
allotment base for the farm?
Answer: The 1862 allotment
base for the farm would be
eOual 70 O1e-natf OF the 1901
farm allotment.
Question: If the 1859 and 1860
allotments for a farm were
released, what use must be
made of the 1861 allotment
for the farm to retain its
eligibility for. an allotment
as an old cotton farm?
Cotton must be actual
ly planted in 1861 or re-
garded as planted under the
Conservation Reserve Pro-
gram in 1861. Releasing only
a part of the 1861 allotment
is not sufficient to retain
eligibility unless some cotton
is actually planted on the
farm.

Mr.. Porter announced that as

024 acres released compared t.
57,365 acres in 1860 on the same

Farmers are again warned that
under new cotton legislation be-
ginning with the establishment

that rs per cent of the farm al
lo,ment be planted and/or re-
leased in order to maintain the
full allotment for the next years
base.
Listed below are some impor-
tant questions and answers that
should be beneficial to cotton
farmers:
Question: How must the 1861
cotton allotment for a farm
be used in order to fully pro-
tect its allotment base for a
1862 allotment?
Answer: The law requires that
the 1861 allotment for a
farm be used as the farms
allotment base in obtaining
its share of the 1862 county
allotment if any one of the
following conditions is met:
a. If as much as rs per
cent of the 1861 cotton
allotment for the farm is
actually planted to cotton;
b. If the acreage regard

COTTON FERTILIZER
RECOMMENDATIONS

Our Agricultural Advisory
Committee composed of about
twenty leading farmers through
out the county, recommend the
following fertilizer for cotton for
1861. In the Delta section t
Holmes County they recommend
from 80 to 100 units of nitrogen
per acre The committee recon-
mends applying all of your fer
tilizer before planting your cot
ton unless you have exceptional
ly sandy land. On sandy lands
It is recommended that you split
your applications.
If you have a soil analysis of
your farm and it recommends
phosphate and potash it is recon-
mended that you put the amount
of phosphate and potash as
recommended from your soil
analysis.
In applying phosphate and
potash it is advisable to place
these materials deep under the
row in a band placement Or put
It deep in the middle buster fur
row and rebed on it.
1t is definitely not advisable
to broadcast any of your fertili-
zers to your cotton crop.
In the hill section of Holmes
County your advisory committee
recommends that you put the
equivalent of 60 units of nitro
gen, 40 to 60 units of phosphate
and 40 to 60 units of potash per
