Phone 1223-J. Cotton Farmers Asked to Lower Acreage in '53 If there should be cotton allotments and marketing quotes In 1954, will cotton farmers benefit by planting more cotton this year? The answer Is that only a few farms would get a larger allotment in 1954 by planting a larger acreage to cotton in 1953. That's according to USDA information received today by Roy P. Mason, PMA administrative officer in Lamar County. The information answers the question of how will state acreage allotments be figured for 1954 in this way: For 1954, the state acreage allotment would be based on the average acreage of cotton standing on July 1, of the years 1947, 1948.

1950, 1951 and 1952. To the 1947 acreage would be added the state total of farm war crop credits and veterans service credits for the 1947 crop. The 1950 acreage would be adjusted to exclude all acreage planted in excess of original 1950 farm cotton allotments and to include credit for underplanting of original 1950 farm allotments by 10 per cent or one acre. For 1953, the state acreage al- at CarsweU Air Base, Fort Worth, spent the weekend with his parents, Mr. and Mrs.

Sam Ingram; Here with Mr. and Mrs. Woriey Lindsay were Carl Wsrthan and Paul Skidmore of Dallas, Mrs. Mary Gibson of Idabel, W. Golden, Dallas, visited his cousin, Mrs.

W. A. May and Mr. May; Mr. and Mrs.

Robert Adams, Dallas, and W. L. Reeves and family, New Boston, with Mr. and Mrs. J.

W. Reeves; Mr. and Mrs. Ennis Sparks and daughter Vinita of Lubbock with Mr. and Mrs.

W. E. Skidmore. lotment would figured on the basis of the average acreage of cotton during the years 1948, 1950, 1951, 1952 and 1953. Similarly, for 1956 and 1948 state acreage would be dropped and the 1954 state acreage included in the five -year average.

This Is just one of the many questions answered in the information received by Mason which states that cotton growers are be- Inf requested to reduce their cotton acreage in 1953 by 14 per cent below the acres planted to cotton in 1952. It is pointed out that unless the'1953 production is held down, there are possibilities that cotton acreage allotments and or marketing quotas will be necessary next year. More details on the Information will be published later. HERE IT IS! Call 21 or 23 for the answer to your 'laundry problems.
