Change Important to
Cotton Producers
The RELEASE tnd RE-
APPORTIONMENT provisions of
the COTTON ALLOTMENT reg-
ulations provides a means where-
by allotments can be diverted
from farms where the allotment
is UNWANTED to farms where
the allotment acreage is WANT-
ED, NEEDED, and will be PLANT-
ED. Cotton farmers, bv availing
themselves of the privileges pro-
vided in the regulations, can help
maintain their cotton allotments,
can help maintain the county al-
lotment, and can contribute to a
strong Agricultural Economy for
the Countv. This can be done by
RELEASING to the Countv Com-
mittee any cotton acreage that you
are not going to nlanl The FINAL !
DATE for RELEASING and RF.- !
GUESTING ADDITIONAL COT-
TON IS MARCH 2. 1962. Forms
for releasing and reauesting ad- !
ditinnal co'ton are available at the
County Office.
Cotton growers may arrange for
official measurement of their 1962
cotton acreage allotments prior to
planting time. To obtain the pre-
mcasurcment service, which is be-
ing provided on a cost basis, a
cotton farmer must file a written
request with the County ASCS Of-
fice, 210 Federal Buildinp. McKin-
ney, Texas, prior to March 15,
1962. The rate of charge for this
service is on an individual farm
basis and is based on the size of
the allotment, distance of the farm
from the County Office, and the
number of plots of cotton. Pay-
ment based on this must be made
at the time of request. This serv-
ice is optional and is offered as
a service to growers who prefer
an official measurement to use
as a planting guide.
