Mt. Carmel IMews
lotments Announced
By Administration
Washington, June 21.—County
allotments of the amount which
each will be allowed to produce
tax-free under the Bankhead act
this year were announced today by
the farm administration.
The 10,000,000 bales fixed in the
act as the maximum crop which
may be marketed without paying a
tax of 50 per cent, of its market
value were distributed among the
19 cotton states and the 1,000 cot
ton-producing counties according
to their average production during
the years 1928-1932 inclusive.
The act provides, however, that
if, in any of those years production
for a particular county was mate
rially reduced because of droughts,
storms, insects, or other natural
causes that year should be dropped
in figuring the average.
The total of county quotas is 90
per cent, of the state quotg,, the re
maining 10 per cent, being held in
reserve for distribution to produ
cers who are entitled to allotments
but are ineligible to receive them
under the normal procedure, offi
cials said. ; .
While the act is in terms of 500
pounds net weight bales the county
allotments by bales were calculated
on the basis of 478 pounds per
bale, the standard net- weight of a
bale of cotton. The net v effept of
this change raises the total.produc
tion standard bales under . 1he act
to about 10,450,000.
County quotas of tax-exempt
cotton were as follows:
South Carolina:
Pounds of Bales of 478
Counties Lint Cotton Lbs. Net Wt.
