NEW RULING MADE
GOVERNING COTTON
REDUCTION PLAN
Two new rulings have been re-
ceived in the County Agent’s office
supplementing the first rulings
which affect producer’s land the?
is ineligible or for producers who
con not secure signatures necessary
to make a bona fide Cotton Re-
duction Contract.
If a producer has signed a con-
tract on any farm owned, con-
trolled or operated by him, he will
have to get permission from the
County Committee to plant cotton
on any other farm that he owns,
controls or operates. If a producer
owns land that is ineligible and
wants to cooperate, he will have
to sign a non-participating agree-
ment and will be allowed to plant
cotton according to one of the foi-
lwing plans:
1. If land is ineligible, a produ-
cer could plant 75 per cent of
average acreage plnted to cotton in
1928-32 provided such acreage was
less than 75 per cent of cotton
planted In 1933, and in no case
can acreage planted to cotton be
more than one third of the acreage
in cultivated field crops in 1934.
2. Acreage planted to cotton not
exceed 5 acres for each effective
work animal used in the cultiva-
tion of cotton in 1933, provided
that assigned acreage shall not ex-
ceed the number of cotton acres
planted In 1933.
3. Acre* * planted to cotton not to
exceed 25 per cent of the acreage
planted to cultivated field crops
in 1934. This plan can be used
only when neither plan 1 nor 2
can be applied and a statement
to that effect shall be attached to
the contract
More detailed information may be
secared from the County Agent’s
office.

Athens to Fairfield
County Judge Benbrook, Mayor H.
L. Williford, Rep. H. B. Steward,
and W. F. Tate went to Austin,
Sunday in behalf of a designation
of a State Highway from Athens

Starting Movement
For New Money Crop
For Freestone County
County Agent Frederick is calling
a meeting of all men and women
interested in the production of im-
proved pecans. This meeting Is to
be held In the District Courtroom
at Fairfield, Friday night, March
16th, 7:00 o’clock for the purpose
of organizing a pecan growers' as-
sociation. It is thought that an
association of this kind would be
beneficial to the County in that the
members could plan their work,
swap Ideas, and secure the services
of pecan specialists to come to
Freestone County and give ua in-
spiration and knowledge that is re-
quired to make this Industry a suc-
cess. It Is hoped that this meeting
will be well attended by everyone
in the county as the possibilities
for pecan raising are many. It is
planned to have a pecan specialist
at the meeting. Make your plans
now to be sure to attend and bring
someone with you.
