Allotment Cards; Their I'se
And Cost
A is a landlord who ha? an al
lotment card for 5.000 pounds if
tobacco. B is the only tenant on
his farm, pavs one-third of his
crop for rental and produces 2.000
pounds of tobacco to be market e'
under this card. How much does
the government give as? a defici
ency payment on this card and
who gets this money?
If 5,000 pounds is the allotted
production in the 70 per cent
class and only 2,000 pounds is
produced and marketed under
this arrangement, the government
will pay two cents per pound or.
the 3,000 pounds deficiency, or
$60.00. In this case $20.00 of this
would go to the landlord and
$40.00 to the tenant, the amount
being divided in the same ratio as
the crop
On the other hand, should the
allotment under the card be 2,000
pounds, produce 5.000 pounds,
