Opposition t« the cotton allot
tment for Jonas county and this
area only varies from “had to

ble to find anyone who is in fa

The reduction is not only more
than one-third of this years cot
‘Vote for Cotton
Quotas’ Advises
Commissioner
J. E. McDonald, Texas Com-
missioner of Agriculture, Mon-
day advised Texas cotton farm-
er* to vote favorably on govern-
ment cotton quotas or acreage
allotments for the 1980 crop.
"With the probability of six
or seven million bales of cotton
under government loan by July
1 1950, the government has pro-
vided, through the Agricultural
Adjustment Act, for an election
on December 15, 1949, whereby
all cotton farmers may vote for
or against cotton quotas or acre-
age allotments for the 1990 crop,"
“' sakt
„ two-thirds of the cotton
Tanners vote for cotton quotas
or acreage allotments the 1950
cotton crop will be subject to
price supports equalling ninety
per cent of parity on cotton pro-
duced on tha allotted acreage
If less than two-thirds of the rot
ton farmers vote favorably, then
there will be no government price
support for the cottton produced
In 1*50 and the government very
likely will Incur a heavy financial
loss on the loans they have made
cotton farmer* on the six or sev
en million bales and thus bring
about demoralization in the cot-
ton industry,” McDonald pointed
out.
“I am sugpsting that cotton
fanners on December 15 vote fa-
vorably for cotton quotas or acre-
age allotment* for 1950 because,
fr. the absence of a constructive
and permanent national farm pro
gram, we are confronted with ao
emergency. Af the upf *.lme, I
am urging that farmers demand
of the next Congress a national
farm progran\ which will give
fanners a two*>rice system for
marketing thefc crop*—a full par
ity price for that portion allolcd
for domestic ‘consumption and
each farmer lo be left free to
produce any amount he desires
In excess of Jils domestic allot-
ment to be soM in foreign mark
ets at worl^ market prices.
These allot meats should be made
in units, such li bales, bushels or
pounds, and NOT in acres," said
McDonald. “Oongress can pro
vide such a Jplan. one which
would not take money out of
xur national fl-easury but would
give the American farmer per
chasing power* with which to sup-
port our genefal economy, would
provide ever ‘abundant supplies
and the mostj practical crop in
sura nee. as well as the greatest
domestic and f>reign markets for
IJs farm crops."
ton acreage but it is about a 13
per cent reduction in the 1949
acreage.
Jones county quota, has been
set for 96,908 acres, while tnis
year's acreage is estimated at
150,000. The 1948 acreage was
110,000 acres. ,
Cotton acreage allottments for
1950 are unequal between count-
ies and between farms, State Sen
George Moffett of ChiUtccthe de-
clared Tuesday, according to a
fire release from Austin.
Moffett Is recognized as .an
advocate of cotton research and
added that the cutback In acre-
age increases the need for new
cotton uses to meet competition
from other fibers. *■
The allocations are unequal and
disregard the fact that you can
grow cotton better and cheaper on
one farm than you can on an
other, according to Moffett. who
further said that the land bust
suited to corion should be allow-
ed to do it, since it must be pro-
duced cheaply.
Individual quotas for farmers
of Jones county will be set up by
the AAA office in Anson by the
end of this vtfeek, Eugene Gruln-
cua said the find of the werit.
"The allotments ai‘C based oh the
years from 1945 through l:M8.
The retrenchment for next
year is causing considerable
"moaning and groaning" among
the iramers who have been try-
ing to figure out what to do a-
bout it.
