THURSDAY, FEBRUARY I, 1«1
STOKELY
FREESTONE
Dear Louisa,
I. have always lived in a large
city but my husband's business
has recently caused us to have our
headquarters here in a small town.
The people Ire unusually friendly
but they frustrate me by their
informality. None of them ever
think of calling to tell you they are
going to pay you a visit or aide if
it Suits you for them to come. They
simply drop in. I may be in the
midst of making a cake or doing
my cleaning but that doesn't seem
to worry them. People always
called us before they came when
we lived in a city. Do you think
I should let them know how I feel?
B. J.—Ala.

Unused Cotton
Allotments A
Cotton is a commodity which
creates a /(good •’multiplier” effect
in the economy, says Cecil Parker,
extension economist, because most
of the cotton farmer’s dollar is
usually dropped into the money
stream of the community. Though
the dollar’s Identity may be quick-
ly lost it tends to circulate through
all the avenues of trade and com-
merce. > s. y
The lots of cotton income, on the
other hand, can adversely effect
a community's whole economy,
point* out Parker. Per that reason,
he adds, unused cotton allotments
are a matter of community oon-
cem. ■ • '
The law under which cotton far-
mers are now Operating contains
provisions for the voluntary- re-
lease and reallotment of 1961 cot-
ton allotment*. Where the release
la made, the released acreage 1*
retained on the releasing iarur as
history and used in figuring fu-
ture allotments. But, Parker points
out, It will not qualify a farm for
an old farm allotment as having
planted cotton in one of the three
previous year. If all the farm al-
lotment is released for three con-
secutive years, the farm loses Its
eligibility for an old farm allot-
ment.
In order to expedite the release
and reallocation of 1961 lei

allotments, the state has been di-
vided into five tones by the State

tee and final dates set in each for
releasing cotton acreage. The fin-
al date for releasing allotments

fit Laredo area is February IT. In

Because of the complex situa-
tions which exist on many cotton
farms, Parker strongly recom-
mends that producers contact their
county A.SjC. office for details on
how the release and reallotment
program can effect their future
cotton production plans. Some
mighty important decisions are
involved, he says. '
