The department said the allot-
ment program is designed to cut
cotton production about one fifth
below thla year’s production to
prevent building up a big surplus.
However Texes’ allotment figures
. showed 4 but of about one sixth.
* B. F. Vance, chairman of the
Texas PMA, announced the allot-
ments for counties from College
1 Station. He said they were com-
, puted on the basts of 1947-48 av-
i erage acreage “with adjustments
nfade for trends and abnormal
conditions.”
' Vance said the 1950 allotment
| for the state was about 11 per
* cent less than the 1947-48 aver-
age acreage and about 4 per cent
less th1" the. 1945-49 average
The Bogata girls sponsored by
Mrs. Hunt are also scheduled to
play the Detroit girls. This
should be a good game, as the two
girls teams played off the district
championship last year with the
Detroit girls winning by a small
margin.
