' Marketing quotas do not apply to
corn, Miss "Nixon "explained." How
ever, under the' acreage allotment
program, the production of corn in
1955 on a farm which has no com
acreage allotment would make all
the crops from the farm ineligible
for price support in 1955. Likewise
the producer on such a farm would
be ineligible for any payment under
the 1955 Agricultural Conservation
Program. 1 , ,
Application forms for "new
