Cotton growers arc being re-
quested to reduce their cotton
acreage in 1953 by some 18 per
cent below the acreage planted
in 1952 as was recently an-
nounced. Indications are that
unless the 1953 production is
lield down possibilities are that
cotton acreage allotments and
vt market quotas will again be
necessary in 1954. Many farm-
ers are wondering just what ef
fect their 1953 cotton acreage
will have on nny future acreage
allotment according to legisla-
tion presently in force and bar-
ling any amendments. In order
that farmers may know just
liow the acreage planted to cot-
ion in 1953 will affect their
farm cotton acreage allotment
in 1954 and future years the
county committee is releasing a
fcrics of questions and answers
-on this subject as recently pre-
pared by the Department of Ag-
riculture. We believe that each
cotton farmer should have this
information before cotton plant-
ing time.
Bear in mind that these ques-
tions and answers apply as leg
islation now stands and will con-
tinue to apply provided present
legislation is not amended.
Question How will state
acreage allotments be figured
for 1054?
Answer For 1954 the state
acreage allotment will be based
on the average acreage of cotton
standing on July of the years
1947 1948 1950 1951 and 1952.
To the 1947 acreage will be add-
ed the state total of farm war
crop credits and veterans' serv-
ice credits for the 1947 crop
year. The 1950 acreage will be
adjusted to exclude all acreage
planted in excess of original
1950 farm cotton allotments and
to include credit for underplant-
5ng of original 1950 farm allot-
ments by 10 per cent or one acre.
For 1955 the state acreage
allotment will bo figured on the
basis of the average acreage of

cotton during the years 1948
1950 1951 1952 and 1953. Sim-
ilarly for 1956 the 1948 state
acreage would be dropped and
the 1954 state acreage included
in the five-year nverago.
Question How will county
allotments be figured in 1954?
Answer The same years and
conditions used for figuring
state allotments will be used in
figuring 1954 and future coun-
ty allotments. In addition
county allotments are subject to
adjustments for trends in cotton
planting and for abnormal con-
ditions adversely affecting cot
ton plantings.
Question How will 1954 farm
cotton allotments be figured?
Answer Ench farm on which
cotton was planted and grown in
1951 or 1952 or 1953 will be en-
titled to a 1954 cotton allotment
as. an "old" farm.
Each farm on which cotton
was not planted in 1951 or 1952
or 1953 may receive a 1954 cot-
ton allotment as a new farm.
For an old farm the allot-
ment will be based on the crop-
land acreage in the farm and the
highest cotton acreage planted
and grown on a farm in 1951 or
1952 or 1953. The croplnnd
acreage will be adjusted to re
move the acreage devoted to
wheat peanuts rice sugar
beets and non-irrigated land in
irrigated areas (Pecos-El Paso
area only).
The 1954 county cotton allot-
ment less reserves for small
farm allotments for new farm
allotments and other adjust-
ments to obtain equity in allot-
ments between farpis will be
apportioned to aill old farms in
the county by the cropland ra-
tion method which simply
means that the farm allotment
will be the same percentage of
the cropland Adjusted for all
farms in the county.
Question Farmers are being
asked to reduce 1953 cotton
plantings volutarily so that an
over-supply of cotton may be
avoided during the 1953 and fu-
ture marketing years. Suppose
some of the farmers do reduce
plantings and others do not re-
duce planting in a county?
How will these farms be affect-
ed if allotments and quotas are
in effect in 1954 and future
years ?
Answer In general 1954 cot.
ton allotments for the two
groups of farms will not be af-
fected by the acreage of cotton
planted in 1953. However if a
relatively low acreage of cotton
was planted on the farm in 1951
and 1952 a larger acreage of
cotton planted in 1953 would
likely increase the 1954 farm

Perhaps a simple thing like a bromide compound. Perhaps
a far more complex compound involving an aureomycin or
cortizone. But in a Boyd prescription there's always some- x
thing else: First the best pharmaceutical skill available in
compounding it. Second the deserved confidence you give J
us in using it.

allotment. Similarly if no cot-
ton waa planted on the farm in
1951 or 1952 the farm would
qualify for an old farm allot-
ment in 1954 provided cotton is
planted and grown in 1953.
If all of the farms in County
A reduced 1953 plantings by 25
percent and all of the farms in
County B increased 1953 cotton
plantings by 10 percent the 1954
cotton allotment in County A
would not bo affected adversely
since 1953 cotton plantings will
not be used in working out 1954
county allotments.
However 1953 county cotton
acreage will be used in figuring
1955 195G 1957 1958 and 1959
county allotments so that all
farms in County A could be ad-
versely affected with respect to
farm cotton allotments for these
five years when compared with
farm cotton allotments m Coun
ty B.
Question When will a decis-
ion with respect to 1954 cotton
acreage alllotmentS' be made?
Answer Thc Secretary of
Agriculture is required by law to
make n decision on 1954 cotton
allotments and marketing quo-
tas not later than October 15
1953.
Question Will a referendum
of cotton farmers be held to de-
termine if they are in favor of
or opposed to quotas on the 1954
crop of cotton
Answer Yes. If the Secre-
tary finds that the supply of
cotton for the 1953-1954 market-
ing vear exceeds the normal sup
ply of cotton he is required by
law to proclaim such fact and
to call for a referendum of cot-
ton farmers. The referendum
for 1954 would be held on or be-
fore December 15 1953.
Question Who is eligible to
vote in this referendum if one is
held in the fall of 1953?
Answer Each person who
shared in the production of the
crop of cotton or the proceeds
thereof during the 1953 calendar
year.
Question Will all farmers be
notified of 1954 farm cotton al-
lotments prior to the dnte of the
referendum
Answer Yes. It is the poli-
cy to notify all farmers of al-
lotments and quotas in advance
of any referendum conducted by
the Secretary of Agriculture.
Question How many farmers
mut vote in favor of marketing
quotas on the 1954 crop of cot-
ton before such quotas would be
in effect?
Answer More than two-
thirds of all cotton farmers who
vote in referendum must vote in
favor of quotas on the 1954 crop
of cotton before the program
could be put into effect. Thus
in effect farmers themselves
decide whether or not cotton
production shall be reduced to
bring the supply more nearly in
line with demand.
Question How will the cot-
ton price support program be af-
fected by the result of the refer-
endum? Answer If more than two-
thirds of the cotton farmers vot-
ing in the referendum favor
quotas on the 1954 crop of cot-
ton the price of the 1954 crop
will be supported at 90 percent
of the effective parity price to
coorjerators (those who comply
with farm acreage allotments).
If more than one-third of the
farmers voting in the referen-
dum oppose quotas the allot-
ment and marketing quota pro-
gram would not be in effect for
1954 and the price support
would be at a level equal to 50
percent of the effective parity
price for cotton.
