Georgia producers cooperating in
the 193o cotton production adjust
ment program will rent 797,000 cot
ton acres to the Secretary of Agri
culture under the 1936 provisions of
the cotton contract, it is estimated
by the AAA it was announced re
cently.
Estimated rental and parity pay

ur.der the 1935 program total $8,033,-

timated that rental payments will
amount to $5,100,000 and parity pay
ments $2,932,960.
Contract signers will be paid for
their rented acres at the rate of 3.3
cents per pound on the average yield
of lint cotton per acre for the years
1928-1932, with a maximum rental of
$18 per acre. They will also receive
