NOTICE OF TAX SALE
The Allotment Plan
And Cotton Acreage
z'
Clcmson College, ' Aug. 12 —To
lie many people who are already
beginning to wonder just what plan
control will be applied to cotton
production in 1934 to prevent a
laiYe crop from offsetting the ad
vantages gained through acreage
reduction this year, D. W. Watkins,
extension agricultural economist,
ays that under the Farm Act the
allotment plan seems to be the
most likely and feasible plan. This
aitctment plan applied to cotton
would be approximately as follows,
be explains:
The average production of cotton
.ii the United States for a period,
my of five yearn, would be letsrai-
ised. The average domestic con-
mmption for the same period
would be determined. Let us say it
was 45 per cent of production. The
vtanestic allotment of the entire
belt would be 45 per cent of
average production. The allot-
:t to each state would* be 45 per
of its five-year average pro-
tion, likewise for each county
each state. A county or-
. Conization would take the county
allotment and divide it among the
cotton growers according to the
overage production of each. The
for basing individual allot-
ts might be a two-year or a
year period and allotments
be adjusted pro-rata to fit
county allotment.
the purpose of raising the
to pre-war parity levels the*
of Agriculture would call
a reduction in acreage, say of!
6ent, on the part of those
who are to receive the
jpoeflte of the allotment plan.
The grower would agree in re-
far benefits received under
allotment plan to reduce his
and would be paid by the
Government an amount
would in effect give him the |
price on his individual al-
it of approximately 45 per
of his usual production. For
rest he would receive nothing
than the usual market price. 1
entire crop would be sold in the
way, the allotment benefits 1
to raise his cash income'
offsetting the possible loss from'
m ihrlnc his acreage. Growers not
emperating would receive the or-
or prevailing market price
their entire crop.
The benefits for a particular
year would be paid to cooperating
growers who reduced acreage ac-
VMKdfng to agreement with the Sec-
jfctary regardless of the price of
cotton for that season by reason of
the fact that the processing tax
would have been applied and col
and the acreage would have
reduced by the individual. The
outlined here is very similar
tm that now being applied to wheat.
