If*
^narily on a uniform county
percentage of cropland, the
acreage planted to cotton on a
farm has little bearing on the
allotment. The law provides
that the acreage of cotton be
used in determining minimum
and maximum allotments in
distributing the county allot-
ment (less the acreage reserv-
ed by the county committee)
to eligible cotton farms. There-
fore. if all farmers in a coun-
ty should double their cotton
acreage in 1951 over 1950. the
1952 farm allotments may be
changed considerably or none
at alll or somewhere between,
depending on how farms in the
particluar county vary their'
cotton acreage in proportion to
cropland.
In view of the many factors
affecting a norm ants as provid-
ed by law it is imposible -o
determine what the 1952 coun-
ty and farm cotton acreage al-
lotments would be. if required.
until the provisions of the act
have been applied in deter-
mining State, county, and farm
allotments. Consequently, even
though we assume that < 1 >
there will be cotton acreage
allotments and marketing quo-
tas in 1952, »2t the national al-
lotment for 1952 would be the
same as the 1350 national al-
lotment, and <3* a particular
farm or county plants exactly
twice as much cotton in 1951
as was planted in I'UO it would
still be impossible to determine
the changes in any given coun-
ty allotment or the farm allot-
ments within a given county.
Sincerely yours,
C. J. MeConnich,
Under Secretary.

Letter on Cotton
Allotments Put in
Congressional Record
A letter from the Department
of Agriculture which discussed
possible 1952 cotton allotments
was recently inserted in the
Congressional Record by Con-
gressman Lindley Beckworth of
Gladewater. The letter was
written to Beckworth by C. J.
McCormieh, Under Secretary of
Agriculture.
The letter follows:

Allotments
EXTENSION OF REMARKS
of
HON. LINDLEY BECKWORTH
of Texas
the House of Representatives
lay, January 12, 1951
ECKWORTH. Mr. Sneak-
t, I desire to include in the
Congressional Record the let-
’er I have received from the
epartment of Agriculture:
Department of Agriculture.
Washington, D. C.. Dec. 15, J 950.
Hon. Lindley Beckworth,
House of Representatives
Dear Mr. Beckworth: This is
in reply to questions which you
raised in our telephone conver-
sation of November 24, and al-
so in reply to your letter of
November 27. 1950, regarding
what might happen to a partic-
ular county’s cotton acreage
allotment and tbe allotments
for individual farms within the
county, if cotton acreage al-
lotments should be required in
1952.
In cur conversation of Nov.
24. 1S50, we outlined the pre-
sent provisions of the Agricul-
tural Adjustment Act of 1938,
as amended, that would pio-
bab'y cause 1952 State and cou-
nty cotton-acreage allotments, j
if required, to vary from those j
established in 1950 tin many j
cases the difference would be j
substantial) even If no change!
is made in the national acre- :
age a'lotment in 1952 from 1950 j
This is true because of changes
in base periods and in formulas
provided in the act for apport-
ioning the national allotments
to States and the State aoie-
age allotments to counties. We
have also discussed with you
in previous letters that the
previous letters that, the provis-
ions of the act do not include
the acreage planted to cotton
in 1951 in the case for estab-
lishing 1952 State and county
allotments and, therefore, will
not affect them.
Since farm cotton acreage al-
lotments are determined pri-

Texas motorists, Texas high-
ways and Texas taxpayers
should be protected against
the ONE PER CENTERS.
ONE PER CENTERS are truck
combinations weighing, load-
ed, 20,000 pounds or more.
Only one of every 100 vehicles
registered in Texas pays a li-
cense fee for 20,000 pounds or
more. FEWER than three out
of every 1,000 are registered
for more than 40,000 pounds.*

Our highways should be
SAFE for ALL the people-in-
dividuals, commercial users
and the military alike.
Texas highway tax dollars
should be conserved and used
wisely. This can be done
(1) by limiting the weight (gross
load and axle Scad} that may
be transported legally by
the ONE Pm CENTERS and
(2) by enforcing the law against
those who persist in over-
loading.
*"The Case of The One Per Centers,'
an article in The Texas Tax Journal,
July-August, 1950
Texas highways are paid for
by and belong to ALL THE
PEOPLE. Highways adequate
for 99% of Texas users-indi-
vidual and commercial-can
be constructed and maintained
for about ONE-THIRD of the
cost made necessary by the
weight of the ONE PER CENT-
ERS.*
This is your problem. Send
for your copy of the booklet,
"THE CASE OF THE ONE PER
CENTERS," which tells you,
among other things, why
