of wheat acreage allotment to cropland on old wheat farms in such 
county is less by at least 20 per centum than such average ratio on old 
wheat farms in an adjoining county or counties in which wheat is the 
principal grain crop produced or if there is a definable contiguous 
area consisting of at least 10 per centum of the cropland acreage in 
such county in which the average ratio of wheat acreage allotment to 
cropland on old wheat farms is less by at least 20 per centum than 
such average ratio on the remaining old wheat farms in such county, 
provided that such low ratio of wheat acreage allotment to cropland 
is due to the shift prior to 1951 from wheat to one or more alternative 
income-producing crops which, because of plant disease or sustained 
loss of markets, may no longer be produced at a fair profit and there 
is no other alternative income-producing crop suitable for production 
in the area or county. The increase in the county allotment under clause 
(2) of the preceding sentence shall be used to increase allotments for 
old wheat farms in the affected area to make such allotments com-
parable with those on similar farms in adjoining areas or counties but 
the average ratio of increased allotments to cropland on such farms 
shall not exceed the average ratio of wheat acreage allotment to crop-
land on old wheat farms in the adjoinijig areas or counties."
