The new 1936-39 cotton pro

adapt the program to local condi
tions and the requirements of indi
vidual growers, he said.
The associations will be organ
ized in the next few weeks. All
contracting cotton growers will be '
eligible , for membership. .
;' Under the new contracts, grow
ers may adjust their 1936 crops by
an' amount equal to 30 to 45 per
cent of their base acreage, and re
ceive adjustment payments ac
cordingly. '" The rate of the payments will be
five cents a pound on the average
production of the land retired
from cotton cultivation. The entire
amount of the payment each year
will be made at one time.
- Payments to landlords and ten
ants will be divided thus: 37 1-2
per cent to the person furnishing
the land, 12 1-2 per cent to the per
son furnishing workstock and e
quipment, and the remaining 50
per cent distributed in the same
proportion that the cotton or its
proceeds is divided.
A grower may terminate his con
tract at the end of any contract
year during the 1936-39 period.
Landlords signing contracts will
be required to keep on their farms
the same number of tenants they
had in 1935.
Acreage withdrawn from cotton
