Preliminary regulations con-
cerning the 1941 A. A. A. Program
have, recently been received in the
offices of the Crosby County A. C
A. according to Jack Bradshaw, A.
A. A. Administrative Officer.
Bradshaw states that with few
cxceptations the regulations for
1941 Program are the same as
those in effect for the 1940 Pro-
gram. However, he points out one
very important addition to 1941
regulations which has not been
in effect the past three years, and
one that is of importance to all
wheat growers in Crosby County.
This new regulation which will
be in effect for 1941 is as follows:
Ii\, 1941 producers who have over-
pianted their wheat allotment by
more than 3 acres or 3 percent.
