^^^' 
"(c) (1) The national acreage allotment for 1951, less the acreage 
ime^acreage aiiot-
to be allotted to new farms under subsection (f) of this section, shall mraits. 
be apportioned among the States on the basis of the larger of the 
''*'^" 
following for each State: (a) The acreage allotted to the State as 
its share of the 1950 national acreage allotment of two million one 
hundred thousand acres, or (b) the State's share of two million one 
hundred thousand acres apportioned to States on the basis of the 
average acreage harvested for nuts in each State in the five years 
1945-1949: Provided, That any allotment so determined for any State 
which is less than the 1951 State allotment announced by the Secretary 
prior to the enactment of this Act shall be increased to such announced 
allotment and the acreage required for such increases shall be in addi-
tion to the 1951 national acreage allotment and shall be considered in 
determining State acreage allotments in future years. For any year 
subsequent to 1951, the national acreage allotment for that year, less 
the acreage to be allotted to new farms under subsection (f) of this 
section, shall be apportioned among the States on the basis of their 
share of the national acreage allotment for the most recent year in 
which such apportionment was made. 
"(2) Notwithstanding any other provision of law, if the Secretary 
of Agriculture determines, on the basis of the average yield per acre 
of peanuts by types during the preceding five years, adjusted for trends 
in yields and abnormal conditions of production affecting yields in 
such five years, that the supply of any type or types of peanuts for any 
marketing year, beginning with the 1951-1952 marketing year, will 
be insufficient to meet the estimated demand for cleaning and shelling 
purposes at prices at which the Commodity Credit Corporation may 
sell for such purposes peanuts owned or controlled by it, the State 
allotments for those States producing such type or types of peanuts 
shall be increased to the extent determined by the Secretary to be 
required to meet such demand but the allotment for any State may 
not be increased under this provision above the 1947 harvested acreage 
of peanuts for such State. The total increase so determined shall be 
apportioned among such States for distribution among farms produc-
ing peanuts of such type or types on the basis of the average acreage 
of peanuts of such type or types in the tliree years immediately pre-
ceding the year for which the allotments are being determined. The 
additional acreage so required shall be in addition to the national 
acreage allotment, the production from such acreage shall be in addi-
tion to the national marketing quota, and the increase in acreage 
allotted under this provision shall not be considered in establishing 
future State, county, or farm acreage allotments."
