Cotton program offers 4 choices
A t 1 ~ 11 /-»4- T» 4- O
(by Leon Barnes)
I think the daily newspa
pers have done a good job of
covering the new cotton and
wheat programs and 1 may
not be able to add anything
that would make them clear
er, but I’ll try.
First of ail, I believe it will
help you better understand
how’ the cotton program works
if you become familiar with
the meaning of two terms
used in connection with this
program.
Number one is “Effective
Allotment”. The new program
centers around this term and
you are lost from the start if
you don’t know its meaning.
When we speak of an effec
tive allotment we refer to
your allotment After release
and reapportionment. The
effective allotment on a farm
releasing all its cotton would
be zero. The effective allot
ment on a farm receiving, say
20 acres of released cotton,
would be 20 acres more than
the regular allotment.
The second term you need
to become familiar with is
“Domestic Allotment”. This
is a new one, as far as we
are concerned, and it means
ty, Mrs. Joe Johnson, Bascom;
three brothers, J. B. Ditty,
Bascom, A. A- Ditty, Aiken,
S. C., W. F. Ditty, Sneads.

Run your finger over a map and find yourself a place to go.
That’s a preview of how it feels to get there in a Chevrolet.
We’ve put what we think is the best suspension

and double-action shock absorbers to soak up
bumps. Over 700 sound deadeners throughout
the chassis and that spacious Body by Fisher to
blot out noise from road and wind.

that percentage of the na
tional acreage allotment re
presenting cotton production
normally consumed in this
country. Based on yields in
recent years the Secretary
has determined that this is
67% of the national allot
ment.
We are in the process of
establishing your domestic
allotment now and plan to
have your notice in the mail
tomorrow. Even though the
: Secretary has determined
that it wall only take 67% of
the present national allotment
to meet domestic needs, this
does not necessarily mean
that your domestic allotment
will be exactly 33% less than
your present allotment. The
law specifies that your do
mestic allotment will not be
less than the smaller of your
present allotment or 15 acres-
This means that the domestic
allotment for 15 acre farms
or less 1 will be equal to the
pre s ent farm allotment.
- Now that we have a fair
understanding of the key
terms' used in connection with
the new cotton program, the
question cnceming its appli
cation to you as an individual
farmer might be asked. This
question, we can not answer
just yet, because you have
some four choices to chose
from and each will bring a
bout a different situation.
DONALSONVILLE (GA.) NEWS THURSDAY, APRIL 23, 1964
; These choices, as I undei-
S'tand them, are:
(1) Plant all the cotton
you want to, lose price sup
port and pay a heavy mar
keting quota penalty. (This is
the same choice you have
had under all previous pro
grams) .
(2) Plant 5% in excess ot
your Effective Allotment —be
eligible for price support at
about 30c on all except the 5%
excess. The 5% excess pro
duction must be sold for ex
port and you have to furnish
bond guaranteeing the excess
will be exported. Anyone in
terested in this choice must
see us by June Ist to post
bond. ,
(3) Plant all of your ef
fective allotment pay no
penalty and be eligible for
price support at about 30c on
your total production. (This
operates just like previous
programs.)
(4) Plant within your do
mestic allotment and be eli
gible for price support at a
,bout 30c plus direct price sup
port payment of 3.5 c times
your normal production (not
actual) from your county of
fice. (This choice would ap
pear to be automatic for
small farms since their do
mestic allotment is the same
as their regular allotment
and should be seriously con
sidered by those who have
Wide seats with foam-cushioning front and rear. Luxurious
wall-to-wall deep-twist carpeting (this year it comes with
//trade wtravel\\
even the lowest priced Biscaynes). A choice of
seven great engines, all precision-balanced for
smoother running, with four smooth-shifting
transmissions to match. Everything that makes
Chevrolet the great highway performer it is.
So get out those road maps. And wherever
you go, get off to a good start—during Trade
regular allotments of less
i than 22.4 acres- For other
farms, it will mean a 33%
cut in production in order to
be eligible for the 3.5 c direct
price support payment. The
acreage cut from cotton pro
duction will not have to be
offset to conserving uses as
'is the case under the wheat
ind feed grain programs).
Now then, when do you de
cide which of the four choices
you want? You will naturally
nave to give it some thought
now, especially if you decide
to cut acreage to stay within
your domestic allotment but
you won’t officially make a
choice until after your crop
is measured. Except, in the
case of excess production for
export. This choice has to be
made no later than June 1,
1964 with bond being posted
with us. You will have 15 days
after notice of measurement
in which to adjust your
planted acreage to your
choice. If you remain within
your domestic allotment, you
will file for your 3.5 c price
support payment at a later
date.
