HARLINGEN - With Willacy
county reported to be the first
county in the South to receive Ms
vegetable acreage allotment under
the latest government crop control
program, plans were progressing in
all three lower Valley counties for
putting the program into effect.
Every county producing in excess
of 200 acres of vegetables not mar-
keted locally comes within the pro-
gram and this would affect Cam-
eron. Hidalgo and Willacy counties
in the Valley.
Meetings were being held in most
of *he counties to explain the pro-
gram which is not compulsory ex-
cept for the fact that penalties for
overplanting vegetables might over-
balance benefit payments received
for compliance with cotton and gen-
eral crop programs.
The Willacy county agent’s office
told The Star Saturday that a rep-
resentative from the AAA state of-
fice at College Station had approved
the allotments for that county. The
total acreage allotted had been tem-
porariily misplaced, it was stated,
but the individual allotments would
be again added up and the total
made public, it was stated. The
individual allotments will be mail-
ed out to farmers next week, it
was stated.
In Hidalgo county, individual al-
lotments will be mailed out to grow-
ers about September 15, according
to Joe P. Cunningham, secretary of
the Hidalgo County Agricultural
Conservation Association. Question-
naires were sent out to farmer* to
obtain their vegetable crop his-
tory for four years. Information
in the questionnaires is being tab-
ulated by the county committee.
A number of educational meet-
ings have been held in Hidalgo
county and one will be held in
Mission this week on a day to be
named.
