Fanners Warned Not To Increase Cotton Acreage Shoffner Explains Crop Decree Signers Of Reduction Pact May Not Lease Other Land Unless It Is Placed Under Quota. Cotton growers who have signed the reduction agreement with the United States government will not be permitted to rent land on anoth er farm and Increase their acreage unless the rented land has already been placed under the reduction quota. R. W. Shoffner, Cleveland county agent, said In a statement yesterday. Mr. Shoffner made the following explanation for the benefit of coun ty fanners: Contract Required “There seems to be some mis understanding In regard to the farming land that Is not under contract to the government. A state ment was made In the paper a few days ago calling the fanners' at tention to the fact that they could not sign up their farm and then go rent land on another farm and In crease their acreage. This is true, but if you rent land from a farm that has been signed up and Is un der a contract and farm part of this quota, this will be all right; but you can not rent land that is not under contract or land that is not eligible to be under contract and farm it other man your own contract. "As to those who borrowed four cents on their cotton option, 1 would like to make it clear that by doing this they turned this cotton over to the government to sell at their discretion; and therefore, you do not have anything else to do with the sale of this cotton. If the cotton price goes to lie a pound, the cotton is automatically sold by the governtnent; if not, it will be closed out some time between now and August 1st.” Mrs. George Green 80 Years OldDies Had Been Sick For Ten Weeks.
