Cotton Group Fails
To Get Statement
Of Policy from ASC
The Old Cotton Belt Associa-
tion of Texas last Wednesday
failed to get a policy statement
on upcoming acreage allotments
from the Texas Agricultural
Stabilization and Conservation
Committee but won an assurance
of another meeting before the
allotments are made this fall.
At a conference at La Grange
Wednesday morning between the
assocation’s legislative and po-
licy committee and the full
Texas ASC committee, which ad-
ministers the state’s controver-
sial acreage allotment program,
John Vernon Stiles of Taylor,
author of the now famed “Stiles
formula,” outlined the plan to
return to the traditional cotton
regions acres the association
claimed lost to West Texas and
the newer growing areas.
“We don’t think we are selfish
at all in wanting back these
acres,” Stiles told the committee.
He said the overall state ac-
reage reduction amounted to 12
per cent, but he pointed out that '
heavier acreage cuts were com-
mon in Central Texas, though
West Texas counties frequently
gained acres.
“New areas got a better base

punch bowl.
The gifts were displayed
throughout the house. Seventy-
five guests called during the ev-
ening.
In the receiving line were Miss
Miriam Tate, Mrs. M. Y. Tate,
and Mrs. Rudy Namken.
