The 1935 cotton adjustment program, announced for 1986, offers farmers the best path to maximize returns and avoid 1931-32 losses. About 1,004,000 two year contracts signed in 1934 apply, with 25 percent base acreage reductions for 1985 and 40 percent reduced in 1984. One year contracts for 1936 available. Total program disbursements projected at 94.28 million dollars, financed by a 4.2 cent per pound processing tax. Rental payments set at 3.5 cents per pound with up to 18 dollars per acre, parity payments at not less than 1.14 cents per pound. Provisions allow acreage reductions up to 80 percent from base with continued benefits. Marketed harvest expected near 12 million bales in 1935, up from 9.637 million bales in 1984. Agriculture Secretary H A Wallace calls it the closest balance achievable, aiming for ample supply for buyers while avoiding surpluses.
