JUNIORS
Why did all the students, wear
gloomy faces when they received
their report canJft.Ujis six weeks ?
Perhaps they are going to have
to stay home and study. Those
bad grades puts restriction on the
night lif ofafeifih school students.
The Juniors didn't do as well as
tfkuy. should, especially the. "occa-
sional visitors" of the class. They
plan to do better next six weeks.

QUESTIONS AND
ANSWERS ON NEW
FARM PROGRAM
. COLLEGE , STATION, March
3—Many questions dealing witii
the new farm act, and especially
with the cotton marketing quota,
were recently answered by Geo.
Slaughter, Wharton,' chairman -rf
the Texas Agricultural Conserva-
tion Committee) in the cpufse of
a radio talje over WTAW of the
Texas A. and. M. College. _
Among questions .which have
been bothering producers . and
which were, answered by Slaugh-
ter were-V "If marketing quotas
are .approved on cotton, how will
they be put into effect on. indivi-
dual farms V and "Will farmrf
producing cotton in- 193# for the
first time in recent years receive
allotments?"
To the question, "How do cot-
ton marketing quotas under the
new farm act differ from the quo-
tas under the * Bankhead Act?"
Slaughter replied, "Under • the
Bankhead Act each cotton pro-
ducer received a poundage allot-
ment and paid a tax on -all cot-
ton ginned in excess of that allot*
ment.
"Under the new farm act, each
cotton farm will receive an acre-,
age allotment and all cotton pro-
duced" OiT"thesearcPra^ may-be^sold-
without penalty. In other words,
the marketing quota places a pre-
mium on efficient production,
while the Bankhead Act, in ef-
fect, penalized it."
Q. If two-thirds of the farmers
taking part in the cotton referen-
dum vote for quotas, will they
apply to states, counties, and
communities where .they are not
approved?
A. The cotton problem is a na-
tional one, and not confined to
any one state or county. Conse
quently, the quotas, if approved
by two-thirds of the cotton far-
mers, will apply wherever the cot
ton is produced.

A. Cotton, tobacco, rice, corn
and wheat. Because of minimum
production requirements, corn quo
tas will probably not apply to
Texas.
Q. How does the act provide
control of these crops?
A. After supplies reach certain
levels, marketing of the crops is
regulated through the imposition
of quotas. While the act put. the
quotas into effect, they are sub-
ject to rejection by „ a one-third
vote of a producers' referendum.
Q. How will this control sur-
pluses ?
.A. By providing penalties on
sales in excess of farm quotas.
Q. Will the marketing quotas
be put into effect each year?
A. They are put into effect
acreage plante ti in 1937 and the
acreage diverted from cotton un-
der the 1937 program.
The county allotment will be
rlividpH among farms on which |
cotton has been planted, in any j
of the past three years as fol- j
lows: All farms which have not (
planted and diverted as much as
5 acres of cotton in any of the.
3 years, will receive as their al-
lotment^ the greatest number ot |
acres planted and diverted in any |
of the three years.
All farms on which 5 acres or
more of cotton were planted and
diverted in any of the three years
will receive as their ^allotment 5 ■
acres and an additional amount
which will bring the total allot-
ment up. to a percentage of the.
farm cropland (excluding acre-:
ages devoted to tobacco, wheat,
and rice, which will be the same
for all farms in the county or ad-
farm?
A. No farm, will be allotted an
acreage, greater than the cotton
acreage planted and diverted dur-
ing the past three years except
in tHe case of new cotton produc-
ers.
Q. What is the marketing quo-
ta of the individual cotton farm-
er?,
A. It is the cotton produced on
his allotted acres, or the normal
production on his allotted acres,
whichever is greater. This means
that he can sell without penalty
all the cotton he produces if he
does not exceed his alloted acre3.
Q. Who divides the county al-
lptment among the farmers in a
county?
A. Comniunity and county (
