134 GENERAL FARM PROGRA^i 



(<•) Determination of corn areaa unthin a county. — In counties in which there 

 exip-t two or more distinct types of land with respect to adaptation to the produc- 

 tion of corn, areas will be established for j^urposes of determining corn allotments 

 which will reflect the adaptability of the different tvpes of land to the production 

 of corn. Such areas will be designated as ''A", '"B", "C", etc., for purposes of 

 identification of the various areas within the countv and will be subject to the 

 approval of the State committee. For comities in which these areas are established 

 the indicated acreages of corn and the cropland ratios used for determining limits 

 of appraised usual acreages of corn, will be determined on the basis of the appli- 

 cable data for each such area. 



(rf) Adjustment to county acreage allotment. — The farm usual acreage of corn, 

 determined under paragraph (a) or (c) of this section, adjusted bj- use of the 

 indicated corn acreage, determined under paragraph (6), adjusted pro rata to 

 equal the county acreage allotment, shall be the farm-acreage allotments, except 

 that if the committees determine that the allotment so derived does not represent 

 the corn acreage which the farm might reasonably be expected to utilize in 1940, 

 the committees may recommend a corn-acreage allotment for the farm. In such 

 cases where the usual acreage is less than the computed allotment the committees 

 may recommend an allotment which shall not be less than the usual acreage nor 

 greater than the computed allotment, except on farms where sweet corn is being 

 grown under contract in 1940 and was not so grown in 1936 and 1937, the corn 

 allotment may be less than would otherwise be established by an amount equal 

 to the acreage contracted for the production of sweet corn. * * *
