Weed Situation Said Not Dark as Appears (Continued from Page One) farm will have an acreage allot ment and if the acreage harvest ed does not exceed this allotment, the entire production, no matter how high the yield per acre, can be marketed without penalty. Since any cooperating farmer can sell the entire production in his acreage allotment, there will be no transfer of quotas from one farm to another. "Allotments for small farms will first be calculated so as to be comparable with allotments for larger farms, and then they will be increased by twenty percent but not above the acreage which, with a normal yield, would pro duce about 3200 pounds of to bacco. For example, if the allot ment computed for a farm for 1940 is two acres and the normal yield is 200 pounds (1000 pounds per acre), then the allotment will be increased to 2.4 acres. On trie other hand, if the allotment is 3 acres and the normal yield 3000 pounds (1000 pounds per acre,) then the allotment will be in creased to only 3.2 acres rather than by 20 percent. The increase of allotments for small farms is limited strictly to farms not op erated, controlled, or directed by a person who also operates, con trols or directs another farm on which tobacco was produced. It is extremely unlikely that the 1940 acreage allotment for any regular or old tobacco farm will be reduced more than 20 percent below the 1939 allotment or acres to plant."
