AAA Ammdrosnts To HejpFarmers Provide for Redistribu tion of Cotton Acreage, Gain in Weed Pound age. Washington, June 1 ? Amend - ments to the Agricultural Adjust raent Act of 1938 which were approv ed by the President yesterday pro vide for redistribution of the so-called "frozen" cotton acreage allotments i and a 2 per cent increase in state tobacco poundage allotments. The cotton acreage to be reallot ted will "be determined by means of questionnairres to be sent out by the county committees to farmers who received 1938 cotton acreage allot ments, the AAA announced. Each farmer will be asked to show in a signed statement to be submitted to the county office how much of his allotment he is going to use for cot ton, and in each case the unused acre age will be deducted from the farm i allotment for redistribution. The unusued acreage returns in!I each county will be sent to the state office of the AAA and the redistri bution will be made by that office ' on the basis of information previ- j ously submitted by individual cotton j producers in connection with the 1938 farm program. Under the amend ment, the unused acreage will be re- 1 allotted <>n an equitable basis to far- * mers whose original 1938 cotton , acreage allotments were low in view of past production and the acreage diverted from cotton and who did not 1 expand their cotton acreage above ( normal in 1937. In the redistribu- , tion of unused acreage, farms in the ?" same county and farms which re- { ceived minimum allotments of 50 per cent of their 1937 planted and divert- * ed cotton acreage?and which did not expand their cotton acreage in 1937? will receive first consideration. t It was pointed out that producers 1 who plant as much as 80 per cent ? of their cotton allotments will re- . ceive payments on the normal produc- ^ tion of their total cotton allot- -j ments. If they plant less than 80 -j per cent of their alloments they will t receive payments on 1 1-4 their ac- t tual planting. _ The tobacco amendment increases 1 by 2 per cent the State poundage al- ^ lotments of fire-cured and dark air- / cured tobacco, burley tobacco and ' flue-cured tobacco. It does not af- ] feet the acreage allotments which J have been established under the con- , servation phrase of the AAA pro- i gram, bat. provides additional pound* age which will be distributed among farms in connection with the determ ination of the marketing quotas, ' . y The provision requires distribution : of the additional poundage quotas on i such itasia as the Secretary determine to be fair and reasonable among farms on which the poundage quotas are small in relation to the past mar ketings of tobacco. The 2 per cent added for flue cured tobacco is in addition to the increase of 2 per cent In a previous amendment and brings the total quo ta for 1938 up to 733,200,000 pounds. The addition for fire-cured and dark air-cured tobacco increases the quo ta from 145,000,000 pounds to 147, 900,000 pounds. The burley quota is increased from 350,000,000 pounds v 9 to 867,000,000 pounds. Agricultural Adjustment officials pointed out that the amendments do not affect tobacco' acreage allot ments and plantings in excess of the acreage allotments will require de ductions from payments which might otherwise be earned under the con servation phase of the program. It was also pointed out that the tobac co acreage allotments ' which have been stablished are large enough in total to produce a crop of tobacco, under average growing conditions, equal to or a little above the market ing quotas, including the poundadge added by the amendments. Faith that is impossible today of ten becomes possible tomorrow, wait and see. How B. M.

Question: When should the poultry laying flock be culled? Answer: This, of course, depends upon laying conditions' and the period of molt The flock should be watch ed carefully during the early sum mer and when production falls below thirty per cent it is time to start culling. The earlier the molt the more rigid the culling. The bird that has been properly fed and goes into a molt in June, July, or even August should be removed from the flock. The price of feed, the feed cost per dozen eggs, and the price that eggs are bringing should also be consid ered when culling. Question: Should tobacco plant beds be plowed up after the plants are pulled? Answer: By all means. The beds should be plowed and all remaining plants killed as these plants furnish breeding places fo rthousands of in sects that spread to the tobacco in the field and cause serious damage to the growing weed. Then, too, failure to plow the bed may result in a serious outbreak of blue mold next year. The bed should be seeded to sweet po tatoes or some other garden vegeta ble immediately after plowing. Question: When is the best time for seeding the fall garden? Answer: This depends upon the hardiness of the different vegeta bles and upon the time required for maturity. Tender vegetables should be planted in time to produce a crop before killing frosts occure. Many of the cool-season crops will mature through light frosts, but most of them should be planted in time to reach maturity before the heavy frosts. A table giving planting dates for. seasonal vegetables is given in Extension Circular 122 and this may be obtained free upon application to the Agricultural Editor at State Col lege.
